| 1. Mini Skirt 2. Jeans 3. Little Black Dress 4. Flares 5. Cowboy Boots 6. Platform Shoes 7. Poncho 8. Trainers 9. Combats 10. Trench Coat Or so says a poll of 3,500 shoppers at Harvey Nichols. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005081965,00.html Outside of creepy old men in the #10 Trench Coats, do I assume the rest only apply to women? And where are kilts? |

| Shamalama! I make it my mission to find out what is currently fashionable.......not that I dress that way. However, some of those items are no longer on the fashion must have list such as ponchos, platforms, little Black dress, according to my latest Star gossip tabloid magazine anyway. |

| I shall make a note to contact Sister CelticRose before heading off to Wal-Mart for my Spring wardrobe. I already own a Trench Coat.  |

| Wal-mart is my favorite store! And all their spring collection is in now! You won't need the trench coat for a long while. |

Hey Rosie, what's hot in leather? Should I put my black leather jacket and chaps away and go for the lime green leather. How do ya think that would look with my red hair?  Maybe a pink, I've been seeing some really bright colors for spring. I like them, how about you? and the women's under garments, unreal, the bright greens, pink and black!  Watch out for those dirty ol' perverts in the trench coats!  maggiemahone1 |

Nah, you're too young. You gotta wait at least another 20 years before you can qualify as a DOM (Dirty Old Man). |
| Posted by: CelticRose 27-Feb-2005, 01:55 AM |
maggie! You're safe! Black leather is always in!  And yeah! what about those colorful undergarments?! Oh my! will look good also with your black chaps! Yeah, I have my eye on that guy in the trench coat! |

| Hey, there isn't enough fabric to cover anything on that mini? Hope girls don't plan on moving around in that. Cheeks might fall out the bottom. I'll take the black leather skirts and I prefer them to at least go 3-4 inches above my knee....gosh what's the purpose if I can't bend over? |

Hey gals, I don't know about you but I don't think Cowboy Boots should be limited to us women. I know a lot of men who look maaarvelous in them! (That goes for leather chaps, too!  )Dreamer1 |
| Posted by: MDF3530 27-Feb-2005, 02:45 PM | ||
There are men who wear them. Mostly in the gay community. BTW, I only know this because I ACCIDENTALLY wandered into a store that sold those products . I quickly realized where I was and got the heck out of there ! |
| Posted by: CelticRose 27-Feb-2005, 02:52 PM |
| Mike! too funny! The thing that gets me is these gals that wear these low rider jeans and when they bend over you can see their thong underwear! sheesh! No class! |
| Posted by: maggiemahone1 27-Feb-2005, 02:58 PM |
| That's in the city, Mike. If you ever been around a bunch of horse wranglers and motorcyclist, who are definetly not gay you would change your mind. When hubby and I go out on the motorcycle and the weather is cool we both always wear our leather chaps. Dreamer1, I agree about the cowboy boots and the chaps, I prefer those on guys any ol' day! maggiemahone1 |

The thing I don't like is when I see the teenage boys with their jeans so low their butts are hanging out. I cannot believe their parents are that ignorant enough to let their kids go out with their butts hanging out! Every time I see them, I want to ask them if they own a belt. BTW, if girls are gonna wear those low rider jeans, then they should also wear a thong. I've seen girls wearing tighty whities with 'em and it looks terrible. |
| Posted by: CelticRose 27-Feb-2005, 03:06 PM |
| Yeah, I agree with you there about the boys with their butts hanging out. I don't understand that at all..............worse yet. What is to keep those pants from falling off altogether? Oh my! I have never seen gals with the tighty whities on with those low cut jeans. I thought seeing the thong was bad enough! |
| Posted by: MDF3530 27-Feb-2005, 03:13 PM | ||
I know that. I was just being humorous. If I ever own a motorcycle (which would be a Harley-I hate those rice rockets), I would most definitely wear all the protective gear. The helmet would have a replica German WWI one though  . |

On a serious note here, MDF. I'm German and I don't feel amused at all by reading this. I'm trying to keep my answer nice and clean and NOT offending BUT... The whole world is blaming us for our role during the WWs but most surprisingly there will always be people all over the world who love to wear symbols of German militaria...which sense does it make? Are they aware of WHAT this stuff is standing for? They should not forget about that in their attempt to (possibly) look "cool"... I can't get the ends together here, I'm very sorry. I have been spending 20 years of my life and more with motorcyclists and riding a bike...and I can tell you that it is OFTEN people wearing this stuff who are giving motorcyclists a bad name. Perhaps you should give it a second thought. |

I don't think this forum, or any other for that matter is the place to be making comments like that. I don't think anyone here, least of all the women, give a hoot about your preferances for what women wear.  |
| Posted by: MDF3530 27-Feb-2005, 04:35 PM | ||
Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Also, Gabby, I'm sorry if I offended you. Very thoughtless of me. |

I take exception to that ,MIke. I own cowboy boots and I have many friends you own boots and chaps and there ARENT GAY and neither am I. Many of them use them to help gaurd against road rash in cash they turn their bikes overs while they're driving them. the rest are ranches and actually cowboys who use them to gaurd their legs against catci and the like(as well as snakes) so..again. I take GREAT exception to that so..in the future..pleae refain from such broad and derogatory generalizations. |

Mike, You are a moderator, now you should give yourself a warning for that as I have seen you give other's warnings for doing the same thing you have just done. As the saying goes, What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You wouldn't want to be shown that you are unfair in you moderating duties now would you? If you can post things like that then you shouldn't punish others that do it as well. Just my $.02. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 27-Feb-2005, 06:04 PM |
| My my my talking about my buddy's! Many my best friends are gay and they are still people that I dearly love! So I detest negative remarks about anyone! And especially generalizing. Gay people are still people. Also many of my dear friends are German. They are also people even some of them are gay to but they don't deserve bashing. People sometimes punish another generation for something that happened in another and that isn't fair. Also I love thongs! They are my favorite wear items. And If you don't have the bunn's for it, exercise em til you have nice firm ones! Don't punish those thong and chap wearers. I prefer the black leather thongs myself! So be nice! Annabelle |

| Time out! I don't think Mike meant any offence to anyone. He did apologize and I think we should accept his apology and let it be. Your kindly moderator who is trying to keep the peace! maggiemahone1 |
| Posted by: MDF3530 27-Feb-2005, 08:46 PM |
| I meant to be humorous. If anyone was offended, I apologize. I'll try to be more cautious and respectful next time. I raised my own warn level. I had intended to do it even before I read VetteGal's post. |
| Posted by: VetteGal 27-Feb-2005, 09:42 PM |
| Mike et. al., I really have to commend you on being fair. I really just wish that noone had to be warned about anything. Personally I think that if someone makes a comment that is unpopular and they apologise for it that should be the end of the matter. I think it is really between the parties themselves to work out their differences hopefully outside the forum (via PM). Such tight policeing does not really need to be done. Now if someone were to report a post, then the mods should get involved. I would say that as a group we have a great bunch of people. Plus, with people from all over different things might be offensive to someone but not to the person saying it. It also has to do with location, upbringing, ethnicity, education level, and a myriad of other factors. I nicely worded PM to the parties involved would probably get more results than warning people. Give the time for feelings to cool before sending off a post to reply to something that you don't like. Reread it to make sure your not misreading something. I really like it here, just miss absent friends. |

| Yeah, time for my 2¢. 1. I wear cowboy boots. Everyday. To church even. I've worn them for years. This morning I'm wearing a wonderful pair of J. Chisholm black leathers. 2. I haven't heard Brother MDF3530 speak ill of anyone (unless they're members of the Republican Party) since I've been here. I took his comments about gays and boots as tongue-in-cheek. Do you know one of the most recent "fashions" in the gay community? Kilts (I hope we of Celtic origins don't let them steal kilts from us). 3. Gays are as good as anyone else. My best co-worker, a guy I've worked closely with for the last 15 years, is a card-carrying member of the Rainbow Club. He jokes about straights, and I joke about gays. But I would stand to defend him on anything. Although the thought of him wearing only black leather chaps to work causes me to scratch my eyes out. 4. Women with visible tighty whities is a personal preference. Some see them as attractive, some see them as unsightly. So what? Does "giving a hoot about your preferances" disallow the option of posting your preferences? Insensitive: maybe. Shouldn't post: let's be careful here, lest all of us only post what passes through a filter first. 5. But the MOST important matter is Sister Annabelle's comments about thongs being her "favorite wear items". I certainly believe that a few pictures are needed as proof of her statements. |
