In fact, I'm going to birthday party next week for a one-year old girl and I'm doing my darndest to find a gift that does NOT involve the color pink.<BR/><BR/>As for my dapper dykedom, I'm happy to share the joy!J.M.

Dayum I lo...I saved this blog to read for Saturday. Dayum I love your rants. <BR/>As for pink, you hit it right on. I tried very hard to keep pink out of my daughter's repetiore of colors. Now after she has entered her thirties, pink is suddenly her color. Ugh. Pink is good for baby and bald toddler identification, after that, ugh.<BR/><BR/>As to crocs, they make my feet itch just thinking about them. Number one I can't imagine wearing them without socks - sweaty feet sliming all around in them ...shivers... I'd rather go barefoot. My mom wears a red pair while gardening. I'll stick with my moccasins.<BR/><BR/>Pink baseball gloves, isn't that for the Elle Woods gang? My mitt is well worn tanned leather and wills stay that way. thankyouverymuch.<BR/><BR/>Dapper Dyke, dayum you crack me up everytime you say that, you are such a happy, embraceable person. I love it.Celehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471318342104018488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-60873660384990256202008-09-09T10:09:00.000+02:002008-09-09T10:09:00.000+02:00Virginia: Just for the record, I would totally cav...Virginia: Just for the record, I would totally cavort around town with you and your pink suede shoes.

I don't mind pink, but the overdose on in-your-face marketing and the urgent, must-have-now-now-now consumption habits of many Americans is really beginning to bother me.<BR/><BR/>As for crocs, I've heard they're very comfortable and, for a long time, the only people who seemed to be wearing them were healthcare professionals and home gardeners. When they became a fashion must, I don't know, but they need to go.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like my bitches and rants. I try to be good at a few things in life!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Virginia: I'll keep your fashion advice in mind as gravity takes an upper hand and the middle increases in circumference. Though I may have to find something other than pink suede shoes. I'm afraid they won't go well with my dapper dyke look!J.M.

I will however admit up front that I have one smashing pair of hot pink suede flats with.... you're gonna gag... a pink suede flower on top! Don't go messing with me about my flats. When you get to be my age you have find things to distract the eye away from your middle!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-60281640357934173702008-09-03T13:02:00.000+02:002008-09-03T13:02:00.000+02:00I am more offended at the rampant overdose of mark...I am more offended at the rampant overdose of marketing and consumerism than I am with the pink itself. I love pink. :-) I know what you mean, though. I am less inclined to see a gendering conspiracy than I am to see a corporate marketing conspiracy. A way to get little girls to become consumers early and often. Bleah. <BR/><BR/>Crocs? I have little opinion. The only people who really wear them here are nurses and other hospital/medical staff, when they're on duty. I'm guessing they're quite comfortable? <BR/><BR/>Great post, though, Tewkesy. No one bitches and rants like you do! I mean that as the highest of compliments, of course. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
