re: “I cannot imagine anyone walking down my road dressed like that TODAY.
But then I do live in the desert where we wear boots and sidearms.”
Yes, I forgot that there are still some places that have sanity left in them. But, they are getting few and far between I’m afraid.
To: Colonel Kangaroo
But the Little Lady Fauntleroy look with blondie isn’t good either.

This is one man who doesn’t let queer fashion designers decide how I am going to dress or wear my hair. I suspect that I have a lot of company on this forum.

Holy crap. More reasons to get my fashion statements off the rack at Walmart.
Apparently the fashion disasters of the 70s and 80s just weren't awful enough?

The shame is that homosexual fashion designers and hair stylists are beginning to ugly up women too and promote it as avant garde style.
To: Zakeet
I’ll bet some of the narrow-minded freepers here are going to think there is something gay about these fashion trends.....
