This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Is this where we insert "You're not a bitch, you're just drawn (and quartered) that way"???

Openmindedness has its place. It's all over the LoT, where it's appropriate and important. But this group has a long history of making fun of fashion (at the core, fashion faux pas at Disneyland - - but branching out from there) ... and I think we must allow a certain amount of fun and silliness and, yes, smallmindedness, in areas that are of little importance in the grand scheme of things.

I can find many threads right now that demonstrate the enlightenment, compassion, thoughtfulness and wisdom of LoT swankers. That this isn't one of them is not, I think, a reason to despair of the quality of people who post here.

(Heheh, I seem to remember a certain Disneyland Costume Change thread that brought out the worst in everyone, but was - at the same time - one of the most fun threads we've ever had.)

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment - perhaps we've taken a few dives into the dark places here - but I think we're had some great discussion on clothing, fashion, what it means to society at large, what it means to us personally.

Frankly, I've gotten more out of this one than the President is Stupid Again threads - But I'd pick fashion over politics any day - that is my fashion statement for the night
