Re: The Extreme!

Crashing a bicycle, in a skirt... on a curb, at a busy intersection :lol: I was bicycling in a skirt (nothing showing) and came to an intersection which happened to have no curb ramp (why!?!).

Re: early 20th century parallels?

I can't remember ANYONE being diametrically opposed! Who would argue with those beautifully rounded hips, Etc... I'm referencing 1920s, 30s... not the 60s pantsuits or similar for women. Back in the 20s, etc (probably more in the city then farm country), a woman walking down the street in pants wou...

early 20th century parallels?

It is often discussed here and everywhere on the internet how the "skirts and kilts" phenomenon among men's fashion is very much akin to the women's trouser movement of the early 20th century. However, something else struck me as to the flip side of that early 20th century fashion revoluti...

I wonder if it wouldn't be worth trying to petition Paul Gaultier and other established men's skirts fashion designers to join the show? If we got even one of them in, it would be awesome!

Michigan state news

Of course this isn't "skirts for men", however it levels the playing ground significantly.
