Skirt day at school!
Seems like the lads had a great school day wearing skirts and dresses - whilst all the girls had to wear ties!

I like it. Most of the comments are positive and I especially liked "It never made sense to me why it's women who wear the bottoms with all the ball room."

If I want to dress like a woman, I'll wear jeans.

Re: Skirt day at school!
Very good. I wonder how many of the guys had a skirt wearing seed planted in their head?

Given the hyper-macho nature of the culture there, likely not many. It's possible, to be sure, but I'd not bank on it.Gordon wrote:Very good. I wonder how many of the guys had a skirt wearing seed planted in their head?

Re: Skirt day at school!
Some schools in the US do something similar, called Opposites Day. It's usually organized by the student council as a fun event, similar to Dress-Up Day, Dress-Down Day, and so forth.
Our local high school used to have Senior Day, when all the seniors wore togas. Unfortunately, that somehow came to include spray-painting the neighborhood and so they stopped it.
When I went to high school we used to have Immigrant Day, when everyone was supposed to wear the most mismatched and out-of-style outfits they could think of. I suppose political correctness has done away with that, though.

Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Re: Skirt day at school!
I seem to remember something like this when I was in high school. Girls came in dresses as "guyish" as they could. Interesting it was hard to tell the difference as most girls wear jeans anyway. I think they mostly wore ties. (Funny... the icon of manhood is akin to a LEASH! ) Of course, the boys had a blast. One of them, I even remember his name... Robby (can't remember the last name) wore a full dress outfit, and aside from the hairy legs, I recall being quite passable!Caultron wrote:Some schools in the US do something similar, called Opposites Day.

I never did participate (surprised?) As I was pretty sure Dad wouldn't have gone for it... nope.. not one bit. But it looked like they had a blast!

Regarding ties as part of girls' school attire, many girls' uniforms in the Philippines include a tie, while boys' uniforms don't, so I find nothing guyish with girls wearing ties to school.
