Bret Micheals?

The title of this post?  Stay with me... I am getting to it...

Before I continue... I do understand that there are far more important issues at hand.

"Peace" between Israel and the Palestinians is "unstable."

The pending "Fiscal Cliff" threatens dire circumstances for our already weak economy.

It is estimated that well over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during 2012... in the USA alone.

Lest we forget... this is MOSTLY a fashion blog.  Inconsequential in the grand scheme of truly important matters but hopefully fun for me and those of you that take the time to read.

BUT... it is also intended to address crucial subjects such as...

WHY DO WOMEN WANT TO LOOK LIKE MEN?

I have to admit... I chuckled a bit (actually out loud) while typing this post. 

Hee Hee

I hope that I am not the only one tickled a bit by my incredible wit?

Even that was supposed to be a little funny.

Hee Hee

Anyway...

On Monday my sister was still recovering from the nasty sinus infection that she was fortunate enough to contract over the Thanksgiving Weekend.  You may recall from my previous post that I spent the weekend with them.  Wonderful weekend.

Anyway...

She took the day off from work so I dropped her kids at school on the way to the office.  Personally, I think she just wanted one day of peace and quiet after the mayhem of two elementary school aged kids at home for a full week.  Hee Hee

Anyway...

While in the "drop-off line," (BTW... a remarkably efficient system) I noticed one of the teachers.

She looked like a man.

Why?

She had long flowing blond hair, a reasonably nice figure and a pretty face.  She could have been so much more feminine with just a little effort?

I did not take her picture for two reasons...

1)  Rude.  Simple as that.  She did not ask to be on my blog.

AND

2)  There was no need.  I could Google her picture so easily.

Here you go...

This is her... I kid you not!  Twins!  Separated at birth!

Bret Michaels!  I swear!

Unfortunately (okay... I already mentioned Gaza & Cancer), she elects to take on the persona of a frustrated former front man for '80's big hair band. 

Why?

Now do not get me wrong, I LOVE Poison.

I am not old enough to actually remember them gracing the airwaves with regularly but Big 'Sis gave me a box of her old cassettes (yes, cassettes... how old am I???) when I was around 13.

Some of those old songs still stick with me.

Honestly.  Every Rose Has It's Thorns is a classic ballad that all reading this blog should listen to again (or for the first time) right now. 

Try this You Tube link.

Bring back any memories?

Okay, so Poison is not exactly Bach or Beethoven (not that I really appreciate their genius either) but their artistic talents speak so clearly to a love struck 9th grader.  Occasionally even one a bit older.  Hee Hee

Back to the fashion...

Why do women do this?  Does anyone know?

We have the ability to be so feminine.  I personally like being a woman.  I like dressing like a woman.

Why do women want to be men?

Generally, men are stupid.  Funny stupid, but stupid nonetheless.

Hee Hee

Men have no sense of style.  None.  I cannot begin to recount the number of times I have seen a couple out for the evening.  Girlfriend... sharp, even sexy... boyfriend... did you just get out of bed?

Men say stupid things.  Sometimes they know it and say it anyway.  I have decided that this is out of their control... kind of like breathing.  Sometimes they sincerely do not realize how stupid their statement is.  I have also decided that this is out of their control.  Merely ignorance based largely in an inability to observe even the most obvious things going on around you.

Hee Hee

Men are a mess.  I know it is hard but the beer can really will not fly to the recylcing bin on it's own.  Same goes for the pair of jeans on the floor, the half read news paper...

I could go on and on.  Hee Hee

Before I sign off let me be VERY clear.  I truly LOVE men.  I am not a hater.  I just do not understand them.  Men are great... they are just men.  I accept them as such.  I ask nothing more than what they are capable of providing.

Which brings me back to the point of this post...

Why do women want to look like men?

God LOVE Bret Michaels... BOTH of them...

Hee Hee

I hope you half as much fun reading this one as I had writing it?

As always, I look forward to reading your comments.  I get so excited every time that I see a new one.  I read them all!  I do try VERY hard to circle back to each and every one.  Please be patient with me.

HAVE A GREAT DAY

-- The Leather Skirt --

Four In A Row...

Today's post will be quick but I didn't want to miss today if I didn't have to.  Here goes...

Today I am wearing my leather skirt & tall boots.  This is simply one of my favorite combinations.  This is such a simple combination for me to find something in my closet to finish the look with.  Its easy to "dress down", its easy to "dress up"... its just easy.  I like easy.  What do you think?

What is the easiest thing in your wardrobe to build around an outfit?

 

Simple.  Clean.  Sophisticated.  Chic.  Fun.  I think all apply.  How about you?

My new blogger buddy, CK, from CK Staying Warm recently told me she would be watching my blog for ideas on how to style her new leather skirt.  So, what do you think of this look?

By the way, her blog is great.  If you haven't checked it out, click here to take a look.

Isn't this sweater just gorgeous?  I just love the big cowl neck collar.  I think it adds an extra bit of femininity.  What do you think?  

Don't you just love how well the two flow together.  I have actually never paired this sweater with my leather skirt before but after today it will not be the last time.  You may have to endure this combination again sometime soon.  Hee Hee

It is cooler today so the boots seemed appropriate.  I think they add a little extra pizzazz to any outfit.

I have mentioned before that these are boots that I simply adore but I really cannot say it enough.  I think the buckle detail is an added touch and they wear so well.  I can easily go all day in them.  Stylish and comfortable.  What more could you ask for?

Sorry but I don't have any real funny stories for today.  Only one person said anything to me about today's wardrobe at all and she was complimenting my sweater.  I love the compliments but they aren't nearly as funny as some of my other interactions.  Perhaps the opportunities for funny stories were muted a bit by the long over coat that I wore this morning?  Hee Hee

That said, while waiting on the DART rail this morning there were a couple of guys that apparently were lost as they walked back and forth in front of me a few times.  They were looking around as if they did not quite know where they were.  I can see how that might happen as the rail stop is rather large.  Men are funny.

I Hope Your Day Was Fabulous!
