OT Clothes shopping rant

Hi,

Excerpt from Luna's Rant:
|| The color pink. Yes, it was pretty and fresh for a little while
in the spring, but I've OD'd on seeing grown women dressed like
Barbie.
|| Off-the-shoulder tops. Flashdance, anyone? I've lost some
weight, but yes, I do still need to wear a bra, and no, I don't want
to
show it.

Wear guy clothes! I'm serious. You'd still look great!

Some of us do wear guy clothes. Not only are they *cheaper*, they're
sturdier, they cover the territory you want covered, they don't cut
off blood supply to anyplace, they have useful pockets, the jeans are
long enough for me and my daughter, the shorts don't require a shave
that ends at my *neck* and the colors for teeshirts don't look like
Lisa Frank upchucked all over them. For those unfamiliar with Lisa

Take care,

Hmm...I live in the south too. Mention to your hubby (if ya wanna - no
biggie if ya don't) that some internet bozo thought he ought to say "the
girls". I'm curious to know what he'd say

Sounds he's good guy. Good for you!

Built in shoulder pads have always bothered me too. I'm large boned
and fairly well proportioned so I don't need them. Look like a
football player if I leave them in. First thing I do is take them out
with a seam ripper.

gasp! Are they doing this again? I haven't really been into the clothes
buying thing for about a decade now, and an just starting to really look again.
I remember this from the 80s, it was horrible!
