Great quote:
“There is no strong difference between summer and winter anymore,” Milan Fashion Week founder Beppe Modenese told The New York Times in September. “The whole fashion system will have to change.”
Uh, yeah. I invite here to come here to Massachusetts. It is about ten degrees this morning with snowcover. She can wear shorts, sandals, and a tank-top.
Do these people listen to themselves?
I demand that mini skirts and hot pants make a come back, in the cause of saving the planet of course.
Is there a chance we can somehow get all of these freaks to live down in Antarctica???
I mean there is plenty of room down there right???
A little chilly, but really...
I think they’d be really happy...And that’s what is really important...

Yep. Plus she can spend a summer here in Texas. She will learn that Freon is her friend.
It's -20 here in Northern Illinois with the wind chill. The game tomorrow night will be played at at temp. around 0 degrees. Moscow is experiencing the coldest temperatures in 50 years. The ocean's temperatures remain colder than in recent past. For the last two years we've returned (here) to more normal snowfall patterns where they begin early in the winter and continue more frequently.
BWAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!
The clown that analyzed the life-cycle of the T-shirt was a hoot, too. Life span washings by this expert’s count was 25 cycles. I’ll bet I have underwear older than this environmental expert - and mine is worn once and washed 52 times a year.
Environmentalists are the new used car salesmen.
I'm no slave to fashion!!!

You’re never going to reduce your carbon footprint to zero, really. I mean, you’re here,” she said. “And being naked really isn’t an option.”
googled her, thank the GODS she does not go naked
Betcha they're selling like hotcakes now.
Uh....Starshine?
Mrs. BeAllYouCanBe noticed that my jeans were getting ragged and we went to Kohls to get some new ones. Every pair on the rack was more ragged that my 5-6 year-old ones that I was wearing. On every pair knees were rotted out, back pockets had holes — and these were new jeans. Then we looked at shirts - they were all worn out too.
I think they need to look at the carbon footprint of “stone-washing” new clothes to look old. Oh By-the-way I am claiming 8,500 carbon-credits because I didn’t by the new stone-washed jeans. Send the credits to my Freep E-mail.
It's about -15 degrees this morning just outside my window. I'd like to head to the tropics in search of some global warming. Whenever any earth worshipper asks me how I feel about global warming I always say I grew up in Minnesota, so I favor it.
As to global warming affecting my future wear, my parka is starting to wear a bit. I may have to get a new one soon. One thing that DOES impress me these days is the warmth you can retain from the light synthetic fibers of this era. I recall my youth in days of yore when winter wear was a bit more weighty.
Another thing that impresses me in the negative is the faith of the earth worshippers. The older I get the more solace I derive from the Good News of the John persuasion. I don't ever argue with people about this any more, but have been told on many occasions that my beliefs are without foundation, that I hold my beliefs without a shred of proof.
The earth worshippers, on the other hand, hold their beliefs despite evidence to the contrary. It's also interesting that the earth worshippers practice such habits as simony. These are things that ultimately shook Christianity to its foundation before they took a run at righting things. When will we see the earth worshippers reformation?
Excellent catch. I didn't notice that. I had briefs that were 10 years old in some cases that I recently threw out mostly because they were just tired, not because they were worn out or worn through (any further description falls into the category of TMI, I know).
Further proof that reporters can't do simple math, or much of anything that involves dealing with real facts and figures. That's why they fall prey to the enviro-nuts and Marxist economists who make up much of the Democrat Party and the eco-movement.
What I always tell people is that the future of the earth is already written. It’s in the Bible. God created this earth, and He’ll sustain it as long as he wants. Ain’t nothing we can do about it either way.

Retail is nuts.
If you don't sell them in November you're going to sell them in January..........
Dear BAYCB,
I don’t know what type of jeans you’re looking for, but looking for them in most stores is going to prove to be frustrating for you.
If you’re looking for nice, crisp, clean jeans that don’t say, “Hey! I think I’m a gangbanger who wants everyone to see my undies,” you might try visiting www.sheplers.com.
I’m all the way up here on Long Island, and it is the only place I buy jeans for my kids.
Regards,
PS: Hubby just reminded me that www.cabelas.com has nice jeans, too.
“the warmth you can retain from the light synthetic fibers of this era.”
One thing that I am amazed at is the life I have gotten from one set of WW II army surplus wool long underwear - 20 years-old. Wool has some amazing properties - like keeping you warm even though it is wet. So if I go out and get the “long-johns” wet from sweat I stay warm. If I have high-tech undies on getting wet means I’ll freeze.
