Well you’re right about one thing, a tagline that seems to express the opinion that all men on this forum are Brad Pitt, does sail right over my head, if not intended to insult.

Brad and Angolina disgust me to the max. The reference to Aunt B is great. I have no problem with that.

I know you intended it to be a cute line, so don’t read too much into my critism. It doesn’t cause me to think you’re anything other than a person who thought they came up with a cute tagline.

I’m not sure if you realize it, but I have seen many a Christian wear those types of dresses. My fist wife and I used to go out to Griswald Mall to purchase dresses not too dissimilar to that dress, because we actually liked the old school style. Others from all over southern California did the same thing.

Are you saying my wife and I were letches because we found that modest clothing to be attractive? It’s amazing to me some of the things folks read into some of harmless things they have observed in conjunction with this case.

I commented upthread about the style of dress as well. Its not the modesty that is the issue...it is the lack of free will to dress as they choose. All the women and girls wearing the exact same item...per the dictates of their leaders. It is their own burka.

Again no issue with wanting to wear a dress like that...the issue is with being made to.

First off,
Brad Pitt is gorgeous to look at. Period. That’s all. He’s pretty much the gold standard that many women visualize when reading a book with a blonde hunky hero. I know this from many many a book discussion....as for what... his personality? I dunno, don’t care either.

Secondly, my tagline is a quote taken directly from a male Freeper-friend after an ‘I’d hit it’ thread. And sometimes, its truer than others.

Lastly, as for the dress-—
It was a fashion remark—— about how ugly the dress was.
Period. It’s butt ugly and I know sew costumes, so I’ll also say it’s crudely constructed also (fabric too bulky for the design and cut).

That was pretty much the humor there, and that many of us had been watching the “What Not to Wear” marathon on TV and it translated into seeing a pretty woman wearing a dress that most women normally wouldn’t choose to wear in the Texas heat.

If it was a woman in the grocery store, I’d assume she chose it because she liked it and well, still had horrible fashion sense. But, that’s life. I’m sure that folks see my cherry koolaid hair and wonder about me.

And I’d still say “there goes an ugly dress”.

And now deeper, after thought....the biggest issue was it’s there version of a burka. That’s pretty much it. Not a dress chosen because she’s free to wear what she wants to. It clearly doesn’t match her coloring, fits poorly and doesn’t look very comfortable.....that’s because its a uniform that marks her.

It could be all satin, a designer original and worth more than my years salary. It would still be ugly. So, it’s an ugly dress on many different levels.

And Brad is still cute nekkid.
