You...o Senor Montalban?

Nice to rub in that they offered foreign languages at your fancy-pants schools. I will just take my unclassy self off to Jamaica.

Or, better, the Texas Riviera.

That post was funnier than anything posted here in months. Not only that, that sock was requested. And it actually came through with something funny. How often does that happen?

Are you mad because you have that outfit or something?

He's mad because when he tried to order the outfit, he was told that they don't carry his size.

There also appears to be good and bad news for parents of teenage girls... The good news is that low cut hip hugger jeans appear to be on the way out. The bad news, from the store windows I saw, is that they are apparently being replaced by micro-micro-miniskirts which don't come within a half a foot of the knee...

Not in my house they aren't.

You are reminding me of when my 17 year-old self discovered that a black tube top can make an excellent skirt. I had just started working in a bar. Those were the days.


(of course I look back now and I'm appalled, just appalled)

Right. Which is why they will be donned at school while the more demure pants or skirt sit in the bottom of the locker.

So the guy only has to roll it up for easy access? That's better than the skirt flip.

It was hot. smokin'. but no picture, alas.

I remember we got our tube tops/skirts from a store called "Fashion Crimes" in Toronto (my co-worker and I). A most excellent store, that I still visit on my sojourns back to the motherland.

Except of course by the kid's friends, who I'm sure are fair game to you.

If you could yank your brain out of your pants, you would understand that you should not deny your kid's teachers and bus drivers and any construction workers who might happen to see her the pleasure of watching her bend over to pick something up unless you are willing to forego seeing anyone in such outfits. Including Kim Possible.

Oh, and the homeless guy who flashes people (but who is difficult to convict ever since legal aid figured out that lots of layers of dirt and, uh, slime can be characterized as clothing) likes to see up wonkette's skirt too. Even when she is wearing underwear.


ETA this post is intended to convey that people who both post gross, lascivious stuff about women and insist on their own daughters being treated with the respect due pre-pubescent cloistered novices are truly, truly the most despicable.

What kind of freakishly long-torsoed chicks are you acquainted with? There's no rolling. There's just bending.

Actually, it was because they have discontinued the Speakeasy Tux Shirt. I had to settle for this (modeled by our own TM):

I don't recall the tube-top skirt look. What year was this? I may have still been working on armpit hair.

Those were the days... that I missed apparently. When I was in HS and college the look du jour was unfortunately the oversized burka-like sweatshirt.

Actually, the Wonk Princess is very demure and modest. Mrs. Wonk and I are at a total loss as to where she gets it.

The spandex/cotton skirts may have been longer in Amish country, which is apparently where you live.

You probably were working on armpit hair.
