Fashion's mistake...

It is warming up quite nicely in Chicago. As I look about the city and walk to and from the train station I have noticed something a bit distressing. I know I will gain quite a bit of flack from this blog, but from one man in representation of many men, I have to ask. What happened to the sundress?

I have actually taken a poll on this topic with about 5 other men. Every single man I ask if they miss women wearing sundresses, all confirm with a resounding YES. Why is it women decided that the sundress is no longer acceptable? Why is it during the warmer months, women are wearing heavier materials and layers? Have they asked the men at all if this is what attracts them? I think not.



Now, I like seeing a women in a properly fitting pair of jeans, but that does not appeal to me nearly as much as a sundress. For some reason, you just do not see the sundress and on behalf of men everywhere we demand that this particular piece of clothing be brought back! Keep the shoulder-padded suits, black pants, and overcoats in the closet and dig into the back and grab that sundress.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). The women and gay male designers designing clothes for women need to actually ASK a heterosexual man what appeals to them. I feel the fashion industry has lost focus as to who the "fashion" is suppose to appeal.

Why else would we have a fashion industry? People flower themselves up to attract the opposite sex (or same sex if they are homosexual). Perfume in today's use has the same purpose even though some use it to cover up an odor. The difference is, the perfume industry has discover pheromones and add them to their product. The fashion industry does not have this option as of yet.

I am sure there will be many women out there that feel I am sexist for even starting this blog. But for today I represent men. BRING BACK THE SUNDRESS!

Now, I need to go figure out a way for the Queen not to see this blog.

Did you know...

The company that manufactures the greatest number of women's dresses each year is Mattel. Barbie's got to wear something.

You will get another resounding YES with bringing back the sun dress!! Actually, I think many of my friends would agree as well

I would love to wear sun dresses again. I can't due to the fact that most of them show much more skin than this old lady feels is appropriate to expose, thank you very much! (well, also they don't make them very flattering in sizes larger than 2, IMO).
Seriously...most of the clothes they have out there now are inappropriate for a work environment. That doesn't mean that there aren't going to be people who wear them. LOL!!

You, my dear man are wrong, again. The fashion industry is not into what YOU want. Women dress for other women not to attract men. Besides the last time I wore a sundress you tried to increase the Native American population.

My Rare Political Statement...Illegal Immigrants

This is a long post. However, it addresses BOTH sides of the immigration issue. The actual bill as it was received in the Senate from the House. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h4437rfs.txt.pdf In a nutshell, here is what the bill provides (ref: Wikipedia ): · Requires up to 700 miles (1100 km) of fence along the US-Mexican border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. (House Amendment 648, authored by Duncan Hunter ) · Requires the federal government to take custody of illegal aliens detained by local authorities. This would end the practice of "catch and release", where federal officials sometimes instruct local law enforcement to release detained illegal aliens because resources to prosecute them are not available. It also reimburses local agencies in the 29 counties along the border for costs related to detaining illegal aliens. (Section 607) ·

What is it About Shoes?

I just have to know. What is it about shoes? I own five pairs of shoes and I can tell you where they are located at any given point in time. Each of them has a purpose. I have a black pair of tie-up shoes used for work and only work. In fact, they stay in my locker at work. The second pair of shoes are basically a backup for the first pair. They are slip on Dexter loafers in black and brown. Multifunctional and works with nearly every outfit. Third are my Nike Air Monarchs. I use these for nearly everything casual including my daily trip to work. After arriving at work, I put on the shoes mentioned first. Next are the mowing sneakers. They are plain white New Balance and were the predecessor to the Monarchs. I use them when I am mowing. They are green. Lastly are my bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes. They cannot be worn outside of a bowling alley, so they stay in my bowling bag (lately without any usage at all). This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why in the wor

Moving on and moving out

I have made an executive decision in my life today. MomofJenMatt is right about a very sensitive issue and I have been running it through my mind for most of the night. I am strongly against the support of child pornography and to be honest, Xanga could be considered as contributing to the distribution of child pornography. Therefore, this is my last post with Xanga. I am moving to http://www.blogger.com/ . Blogger.com is tied to/owned by Google. It is a little more complicated to use, but I figure I will get used to it. This is my new blog site: http://n8ivwarrior.blogspot.com/ I welcome you to join me, although anyone can read and comment on my blog. You do not need to be a member. I hereby resign the Viewer's Choice to LarsThunder. Thank you for viewing and good luck to you all.
