The undeniable wonder of skirts - Page 4

LOL Baby-K I should kick you in the head with my furry foot. I have a cough and that story made me cough worse'n I have. Oh well.

This hobbit lass doesn't really like the color pink. That's the only problem, particularly. It's not a horrid pink though, but it's still pink. I prefer green.

I dont like pink meself, though I will wear it on a skirt if it doesn't show up TOO horridly. I would die to have a white dress like the one Eowyn has in TTT. Or maybe a green one with the same cut...with a white sash that ties by the side. I love those kinds of mideaveal dresses.
Cheers,
Sam

I am hopping that that isn't true, Baby-K.

I still don't like skirts

Starr Polish · 03-05-2003, 10:56 PM

Oh, so would I, SOTS...in fact, my prom dress (now ordered!) is medieval style.

Baby-K · 03-06-2003, 01:19 AM

Glad you guys enjoyed that

The Ringbearer · 03-06-2003, 03:58 AM

Pink...*twitch*
Green & white....yesss preciousss.

I like black skirts best, but that could be because that is the only color I have right now. I gotta go shopping....

i dont like skirts...thier too constricting (tight or short) and you can go anything in them cuz they ride up your arse and expose things

Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn · 03-06-2003, 01:26 PM

but a cool skirt is about a knee length or right about the knee length black skirt...with fishnets and combat boots

Apparently the new rage on my campus is pillow-case skirts. Girls go the local ValueVillage, buy a pillow-case with a funky pattern, seam-rip the top, hem, insert drawstring for the waist, and voila! Pillow-case skirt.

That's..... certainly novel.

Ah, prom season, eh?

Here's a tip from a prom veteran: DON'T ditch your date just because he's afraid he can't dance. A stunning dress adds insult to injury.

Baby-K · 03-07-2003, 01:48 AM

IP sounds like you had a bad experience there. I always thought you guys had prom later in the year - I forget your shool calendar differs from ours (our Matric farewell dances are usually around September).

This would be relevant if I HAD a date...

Baby-K, prom season starts in about January/February, but our prom isn't until April 26. Most girls already have their dresses and their appointments. Since I had to order mine online, it won't even be shipped out until April 2nd!

***Rían*** · 03-08-2007, 04:02 PM

I loved the title of this thread ...

*bump*

and I love skirts, too! My favorite is a soft, swingy black number that goes with anything.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-08-2007, 04:19 PM

who and where these people are. *wistful*

***Rían*** · 03-08-2007, 05:02 PM

I hope Starr's doing well - she was quite nice. IIRC, she posted her prom pics here!

*feels old*

Baby-K was fun but has been gone for ages, Earniel's still around (hooray!!!) and crick comes by on occasion.

SO - how do you feel about skirts, sis?

Men should definitely not be allowed to wear skirts.

I've been to Edinburgh a few times and after you've seen one 200lb drunken scotsman lift his kilt in public....well, it's not really a performance that you wish to witness again

oh, i have male friends that occasionally wear skirts and i tell you: they look a lot better than i do in one!

i think nothing should be prohibited just because a person happens to be a member of one sex or another (or a third). i've never been comfortable in skirts, so i don't wear them: those who are, should wear them weather or not they're female.

that's my opinion on skirts.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-08-2007, 07:57 PM

Ah, the old necropost. Good bump Ri.

Skirts are okay, but I hardly ever wear them.

I did once play a game of pick up rugby in a knee-length skirt though. That was pretty awesome. That skirt doesn't fit me any more though.

The last sane person · 03-09-2007, 04:53 PM

I have kilts. No really. I used to wear a skirt like thing when I was living with my japanese relatives. Its this tunic thing that is just a top, that folds over and belts, and then you wore a short-short sort of thing under that, over your undies.

Then unfortunatly I grew out of those tunics and have yet to go back and get some more. Then my friend Casey introduced me to utilikilts, since I always complained that regular fabric skirts never lasted. So he got me a utilikilt. I put it to the test and it works great, I can ride, run, jump (heh, not too high though, dont wanna flash) and be active. I just wear a short under it on blustery days.

In theory, I agree with you, not about skirts in particular, but about clothing in general; I don't believe in following societal mores on dress.

In practice, though, it just looks wierd when a guy wears a skirt! In a funny way, more often than not...but still, it doesn't seem normal. I just don't live up to most of my theories.
