Won't work... Zorba' visuals are the equivalent of a mental thistle :drool:
I'm guessing he's actually thinking of can-can girl kicks - which isn't what I'm talking about at all. Knee stays bent, calf stays vertical. The knee kicks up sharply while the foot remains pointed (downward). There's a bunch of cultural and esthetic reasons behind it, but the short version is the move is often used to kick enough skirt fabric up to where the dancer can grab it for skirtwork (think Flamenco dancing). Not much leg or anything else to see, and its very fast.

Actually, unless you dress like a nunn, thigh holsters can be very comfortable and practical with a skirt. Beats stuffing everything in a purse lol
That's exactly the one I was thinking of, I'm more worried about it being hot and sweaty more than anything else. I'm dealing with "Prickly heat" at my waist right now.

You wear countless other forms of women's clothing and embellishments and you're not "technically" a woman so why would one more article matter?
He makes a valid point. Besides, I suppose not only does the article in question come in multiple sizes, but 'enhancements' can always be made. Just sayin' :tooth:

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND then he ruined it again..............
It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

I "draw the line" at anatomy. Skirts et al are unisex as far as I'm concerned. All it takes to wear one is a waist - we all have them. I don't have boobs!

Welllllll, I did promise to brighten up the place lol. Nothing like men it tights to start the show :applause:
Never one to disappoint the ladies.
This was taken quite a few years ago at an early Greek dance performance. This is the traditional Greek "Foustanella" (male skirt), worn by their honor guards:

A while back, you posted a pic of you in a Victorian dress with one of your butt pillows and a little umbrella. I wouldn't consider that unisex by any stretch of the imagination. If it was, you might see CPJ, and NN, and some of the others guys wearing that outfit in shrimp, or salmon at the SE shoot.

Culturally, you are correct. But culture is an artificial construct, and has no basis in what I call "Ultimate Reality". The Victorian outfit (and its a skirt/shirt combo, not an actual dress) will fit anybody. Its only "feminine" if it involves a bra, its only "masculine" if it involves a jock strap (otherwise, its just fabric, no gender) - and even that isn't completely absolute; but is as close as you'll get on THIS plane of existence. Lots of psychobabble!
For SIGgal's reference:
Space/time is a large construct - men have worn what we now call "feminine" accoutrements for thousands of years. Why do we stop on a red light, and go on a green? Neither color has any intrinsic meaning, but society has agreed upon that particular convention. It may very well change in the future! Remember, it was in our lifetime that women weren't supposed to wear pants - so what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Blah, blah, blah, blah... :blah:
I think all ya'll should try wearing a dress, you will see it isn't so bad........ but then again it limits your shooting positions
I've been telling these guys this for several years - or more correctly, telling them to try a skirt as dresses on guys are problematic as off the rack selections aren't made for our shoulder/hip/waist proportions - or chest shape. Most comfortable thing you can wear in public!

No bra - ain't cross anything. But whatever works for you. Its VERY interesting that women don't get hit with the "cross dressing" label when they wear (so-called) men's stuff. There's a lot of psychobabble and relative "gender valuation" involved, so I won't bore everyone with it (including myself :tooth:).

As long as he is happy, that's all that should matter. Love the dress FYI lol
Skirt/shirt combo. Only way for me to get that look off the rack - a dress would have had to have been custom made, and thus a lot more expensive. I have 2 or 3 actual dresses - all of which are dance costumes - and they had to be custom made for me.

I don't have a problem with guys in dresses....... as long as mine isn't in a dress!
A lot of gals say exactly this - and it both puzzles and annoys me as I don't understand the "why" of it.
Either way, we have a lot of fun with the "back and forth" on the subject here. These guys are pretty much "whatever floats your boat" live and let live types, even if the subject *does* make them uncomfortable at times so I don't bring it up often as I really am here to learn more about firearms. :guns:

More back to the original subject, what is the consensus on front pocket carry of a compact single stack 9mm? I know there are "pocket holsters" made. That's one option I'm thinking about - T-minus 1 week until my CCW class!

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.

Thank you for getting the mind worm of Zorbas sweaty thighs out of my head......

Thanks.

My "tramp stamp" tattoo is unhappy right now. :rotflmao:
Yeah but everybody's looking when you go for your gun, so much for concealment!
:popcorn:
:rotflmao::roll2::rotflmao::roll2::rotflmao:
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
Can't say as I've ever had occasion to wear that - but it would be cooler than dance tights!
Please God no, dont tempt him, he has photobucket...
