Out and About -- In the World at Large

[Pdxfashionpioneer]

OldSalt1,

If Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi she's the world's best at it, because she has been through 11 or more congressional investigations, most famously standing up to 11 hours solid of intense grilling. Let's see Mr. Energy, Donald Trump, do that at all, let alone without totally losing his cool.

And to be clear Mrs. Clinton did NOT say "What difference does it make?" in regards to those four Americans getting killed -- as she told the congressmen, she's lost more sleep over them than the whole committee put together -- no, it was about what did she believe when as to what got that attack started.

If you want to continue down this road I suggest you start a new thread in Off Topic.

to bad she was sleeping when it happened and her country needed her

I'm sure if there was something that she could have done about the situation or a meaningful decision that only she could make, someone would have woken her up.

What's a person in her position supposed to do? Give up sleep for the entirety of their tenure as Secretary of State just in case something happens somewhere in the world? Oh wait, that's a 24/7 lead-pipe cinch!

Here's what I wore on an outing yesterday, including a stroll through a crowded mall, and no one gave me so much as the time of day.

"no one gave me so much as the time of day"

Mighty damn stringy of them, that's a nice outfit!

I don't know how you do it, but you keep coming up with some of the neatest outfits around. Philadelphia must be getting pretty gentrified if you can go about your business skirted, I know I used to live in Upper Darby and a lot of Philly was not someplace you went even in pants.

This weekend I've been out twice wearing my black leather knee length skirt with black pantyhose and two different shirts. Both times I was wearing my David Tate ankle boots. I was complimented on my boots twice. Once in a work wear store where I had to pick up some steel toed shoes for my job and once in a Costco store at the food court. They were both by women, one helping me with the shoes, and the other who said my boots were cute and she wanted a pair. Not often do I get compliments on what I wear. But it is very nice when it happens.

Pdxfashionpioneer: Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Franinskirts: Regarding my attire, I spend a great deal of time assembling my outfits as it's a passion. I decided quite a long time ago that if I'm going to wear women's clothes in public as a man, then I'm going to look my very best. Meanwhile, there's still more than a few places here in Philly I wouldn't venture to if I were dressed like John Wayne in The Green Berets.

Meanwhile, here's what I wore on a short outing yesterday, wanting to show off one of three knee length, light knit a-line skirts I bought at Sears. With temps having reached 75, it was safe to wear short sleeves and sandals, even on the day before Halloween.

You always look good, Jeff; but I question why you don't just buy your own clothes, rather than wearing some random woman's

Just because a garment is traditionally associated as "womenswear", primarily as a result of social conditioning, doesn't (in my book) mean they are women's clothes if they are bought, owned and worn by a man as a man.

I like that attitude!

Don't think twice about it; you'll know the truth. Unless, of course, it's a witch's skirt with matching hat, etc.

If there's one day in the whole year men can wears skirts, it's Halloween.

I'm all in black today, from shoes to tights to skirt to shirt. I wish I had a black wide-brimmed hat.

Oh, boy. That's going to set Moonshadow off like a firecracker.

Just be careful not to be treated as the trick - or then again maybe - hummm - instead of fries with that how about chocolate kisses ? Adult Censored !

The ONLY other day that one can go about freely is "Fat Tuesday" otherwise known as the day before Ash Wednesday MARDI GRAS !

But then that is no fun - having a day licensed to skirt !
