Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
So glad right now I don’t have a daughter.
Attention ladies, particularly the young ladies: This…
…looks…bad. Bad with a capital B. That thing with the pockets. If it’s in fashion, it should not be.
I guess I’m just not very well-educated about this stuff. I always figured, these young ladies made themselves some cut-offs for the summer months, failed to calculate the lengths of the pockets, didn’t want to do without ’em and figured they had themselves a garment for hanging around the house casual-style, maybe possibly hauling the trash out to the curb.
Yesterday morning at brunch I saw a youngish type walk into the restaurant with accentuated pocket liners, with glitter. Oh, so that’s intentional now? Turns out, it’s not only a feature and not a bug, but a highly desirable one…so says somebody somewhere.
I struggle to imagine what other things a girl-woman could wear that would look more hooker-ish. And to think, somewhere, there’s a mother allowing her to go out of the house like that.
Update: I spent all that time waiting for the never-ending so-called fashion of “guys pants sagging down around their underwear” and this seems to be just a continuation of it.
We seem to be living, in real life, the imaginary fashion world depicted in this highly forgettable Ryan O’Neal movie. Images associated with the idea that the wearer forgot to clothe him- or her-self somewhere around the pelvic region…suggesting lack of competence in attending to personal tasks dealing with attire, and probably hygiene I suppose, that’s desirable in some way?

Now that I think of it, it’s something of a shock somebody hasn’t actually done assless jeans.
- Rich Fader | 07/18/2012 @ 20:43I actually kinda like it.
But then again, I’ve always been more of a fan of … shorts… in the summertime. Because the primary purpose of shorts, in my book, is to stay cool.
And my shorts growing up were cutoffs. And yeah, sometimes the pockets would hang out past the bottom, especially if you had something in them.
Because I didn’t cut my shorts off at the friggin’ knee.
I’ve seen this this summer in girls shorts, and I just see it as an acknowledgment that cutoff shorts do this, and they might as well make it pretty. And I like it when chicks make stuff pretty. It’s one of the things that makes them chicks. (Even though, yeah, I know they’re not really cutoffs, they’re mimicking cutoffs. I see it has homage, really).
There are plenty of modern female (and male) fashion trends that I can’t stand…. but this isn’t one of them. Your mileage, obviously, may vary 🙂
- philmon | 07/22/2012 @ 09:08My personal opinion is, after Adam and Even ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and felt shame at their nakedness and made themselves loincloths, and The Lord made it known to them that He was plenty pissed about it all and they had stained humankind forever, and were exiled from the Garden of Eden, He probably said to them something like “Okay, the clothes thing I can get past, that’s not such a big deal…but there’s no reason to go covering up her legs.” Females were built to wear shorts. Guys weren’t. Take a good, long, hard look at guys’ legs sometime. We’re supposed to wear pants, it’s like, just obvious. Girls aren’t.
But the pockets? Gah. Looks tacky, and terrible.
