Would you ban any item of clothing if you could?

[Archae]

I'd ban ties if I could.

I hate them.

[OhioChick]

1. Pantyhose

Horrible invention.

[dimbear]

2. Chastity belts.

Just too medieval.

[struggle4progress]

3. You mean, like, totally or, like, on certain people? I could see individually-tailored bans:

whoa! there's a person who shouldn't be allowed to wear polyester stretch pants!

or

oh, whoa! now, there's a person who shouldn't be allowed to wear anything at all!

[csziggy]

28. Cereal Killer: "Spandex: it's a privilege, not a right."

One of the best quotes from "Hackers" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113243/quotes

[Initech]

52. Ever see the website poorlydressed.com?

There's whole categories of people that should be banned from wearing a lot of stuff. :scared:

[hobbit709]

4. Never had any use for those Croatian self-strangulation devices.

[arbusto_baboso]

21. They were originally intended to be sweat rags.

For Croatian mercenaries in the employ of Venice. It's where we get the word "cravat" from.

[Terry in Austin]

44. Man, did that one ever get outta hand! -nt

[Maine-ah]

5. thongs.

oh, and high heels...frigging torture devices both of them.

[OriginalGeek]

7. but....but....but

butt...

[dawg]

23. The lady said she wants to ban thongs ...

They probably just make her feet uncomfortable.

[seabeyond]

42. i know. kids get such a kick when i call them thongs. we all get confused. nt

[HopeHoops]

6. shirts

well, at least on women.

[OriginalGeek]

8. culottes

there may be more than one definition for those but I am speaking of the things the girls in my high school had to wear for gym class. They were looooong shorts. or short baggy pants. The point of them was that they looked like a skirt but revealed nothing during vigorous activity and covered legs down past the knees because normal people gym clothes were for sluts and whores.

To me it's another example of the hypocrisy of fundamentalism. We were constantly told how women should wear dresses because pants were for men and it was a sin for a woman to dress like a man (and vice-versa but we didn't have too many guys trying to wear dresses to basketball so that wasn't really a problem. Although we men were definitely looked at askancely if we parted our hair anywhere close to the middle lol). But they also needed to engage in physical activity that, if they were wearing a dress, might expose some tender, enticing expanse of flesh. SO what do? Make pants that look like a dress. Loopholes! God 1, Satan 0!

[Skittles]

59. pantaloons?

:D

[geardaddy]

9. Skorts

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Those skimpy little tops that let your middle hang out.

Unless you are quite slender they look terrible. Most people have a roll of doughy, pasty flab showing under the top that droops over the waistband of the pants or jeans. Ick.

[geardaddy]

43. That's called a muffin top

when the flab goes over the waistband.

[Initech]

11. Pants. Kilts all the way!

[nolabear]

12. Bras. And no, not for the mens' sake.

Those mofos hurt. We get used to them but even the best fitted ones pinch and if you have major ta-tas your shoulders just plain suffer. And contrary to what your mama told you the tendency for the girls to eventually hang low is more genetic than anything.

So there!

[seabeyond]

13. i think it is more gravity than genetics. big you are the more gravitational pull.

but agree, .... the literal freedom of unhooking.

huge .... sigh.

[nolabear]

14. I thought that too, and think there's some truth but apparently genetics plays a big part.

Or so my "lady parts" doctor told me.

[seabeyond]

15. interesting.

i have heard a certain complexion wrinkles naturally way more than others.

brunnette, brown eyes. but then you have the african american face that does little wrinkling. i heard blondes wrinkle least. maybe genetics is in the sag and bag

it is what it is... doesnt bother me. healthy and fit is all i look for or expect out of me.

thanks for info

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. Ironically, the absence of a bra can sometimes...

.
.
.
... cause certain "man-parts" to defy gravity.

[AngryAmish]

22. a well fitting bra does not hang from the shoulders

it is the band that does the support. I saw this on oprah.

[seabeyond]

24. lol, ah ha

sometimes you guys... are just the cutest. listening to you explain the bra

this

is when i fall in love with men

hubby did something this morning that tickled the same funny bone. i had such a chuckle and sent him off to work with a smile

yea, you

[AngryAmish]

25. who would you rather believe:

me or someone who knows what they are talking about?

[seabeyond]

38. lol

hey, you heard it from oprah.

'nough said

[nolabear]

26. But...but...I'm a girl. And apparently one whose bra has never fit well.

You mens talk among yourselves; I'm doing research here.

[seabeyond]

39. ha ha

i have never found one that was not a relief to get off. total restriction. i hate restriction. i pull on my tshirts around neck cause i feel like i am choking or strangled.

you research woman.

find the perfect bra.

and if it is 100 bucks, dont even tell me.

[csziggy]

29. You've never tried to ride horses without a bra

If you are bigger than an A cup, it's more painful without than with. And it looks horrible, all that bouncing and not in a good way.

That said, now that I don't ride any more, I wear a bra only when the lack of one might embarrass other people or when it would be uncomfortable for me. Since I am rather large, many people seem uncomfortable if I go without one. Around home, and around the farm, unless I am doing work that needs a lot of movement, I refuse to wear one regularly.

[GoCubsGo]

33. Ditto for running.

I am overly endowed. Most activities beyond sitting and lying are more painful without a bra than with. It's like having a couple of damn giant pendulums swinging from your chest. Unrestrained, the girls throw off your balance worse than they do when restrained. That being said, it IS a relief to remove that sucker at night.

[Kali]

34. eh, they come in handy when fixing pens or barbed wire too

fuggin nails are painful!

you think barbed wire is dangerous for tender horse skin? uh...ouch

[seabeyond]

41. i had to hurry and swallow my coffee, as i saw this one coming.

what a hoot

[csziggy]

56. Yep, that's what I had in mind when I mentioned working around the farm

Also see my post about why bras will always hurt me. A bra saved me from an involuntary mastectomy!

[seabeyond]

40. ok... you are making me laugh, too

as i picture...whop, riding....whop.... without a ....whop

i hear ya sistah.

my line is if i have to get out of the car. lol

[Manifestor_of_Light]

36. Go to a proper lingerie store and get fitted.

Bras are not supposed to hurt.

First there is the measurement around the bottom of the bust. That is the band size. Most women wear a band size that is too tight and wonder why it hurts.

Then there is the cup size.

Those have nothing to do with each other. One can be a 32DD (small ribs, big breasts) or a 44A (large ribs, small breasts).

Get thee to a proper lingerie store.

One I've been to: www.topdrawerlingerie.com

[csziggy]

55. In my case no matter how well fitted bras will hurt

But that is because my right breast has a large area of scar tissue from a horse bite. He crushed the outside quarter of that breast - the only thing that saved the breast from more damage was the slick cloth my bra was made of that made my T-shirt and his teeth slide off. Suffice it to say, there was a massive amount of damage to the underlying tissue and that side of that breast is very lumpy.

Add to that the left shoulder that was completely reconstructed after a different horse incident with a scar that wraps almost all the way around the shoulder that makes placement of a bra strap problematic, and makes wearing anything other than a front fastening bra impossible.

The best bras allow me to not be in total pain. The average ones are torture.

I tried to look at that site - what a PITA way to "shop"! How do you ever get to actually getting a look at individual styles, sizes, selections, etc? The interface is cute, but it is not conducive to quick sorting and selection. The place I usually visit allows the shopper to select by size, then style, then look at the other options. It takes me less time to find the few options I can possibly use than I just spent trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Top Drawer. Thanks for the recommendation, but it's not for me.

[KamaAina]

17. Hell, I'd ban all of 'em!

:evilgrin:

[csziggy]

31. Hmmm, no one wants to see me with no clothes

And working around the farm would be uncomfortable, to say the least.

[Odin2005]

18. Anything with synthetic fibers!

They are like sandpaper on my skin.

[Quantess]

19. fanny packs.

waist packs are ugly, too.

[Shagbark Hickory]

20. Any clothing made from slave labor.

I know that's not a very lounge-like response.

[csziggy]

30. I agree with that

At the very least, everything made by slave labor should be labeled so we can avoid buying those products!

[raccoon]

27. Bras. nt

[ohiosmith]

32. Fur.

[Kali]

35. not that I ever wear the shit, but panty hose could go extinct any time

any kind of uncomfortable shoes too (which is to say most of them)

[stevenleser]

37. Hip huggers.

They just make anyone who wears them look worse than they ought to.

[barb162]

45. Tight clothes

I never wear them but it seems to me a lot of people do. And it also seems that the ones with a fair amount of flab don't mind others seeing their rolls of flab. Also short tops with hiphuggers, with the waist flab showing.

[trof]

46. Bingo. They no longer serve a purpose.

They came from cravats.
You could change a stained cravat more often (and cheaper) than change shirts.
I hate ties.

[hedgehog]

47. Let me say this in defense of panty hose- they are way more comfortable

than the old garter belt and stocking routine!

[Skittles]

48. the latest ridiculous fad: Frankenstein Pumps

JAYSUS LADIES THEY LOOK RIDICULOUS



I'm convinced women will never be taken seriously as long as they constantly are willing to sport the most RIDICULOUS looking shoes :(

[pitohui]

50. women will never be taken seriously anyway

we might as well have sexy shoes to make the fools who don't take us seriously lose their tiny minds even more

i notice you don't show a picture of a woman WEARING the shoe because, if you did, "ridiculous" is not the word that would spring to anyone's mind

[Skittles]

51. can't find one

but I've seen them in real life and they are RIDICULOUS - seems like they have taken over from the last ridiculous fad - the EXTREME POINTY TOE SHOE

[pitohui]

49. why? no one wears them anymore anyway...might as well ban spats EOM

.

[Arugula Latte]

53. Burqas

They are anti-women. And, yes, I know that many women are proponents of them, but that is because they were raised eyeball-deep in misogyny. They are supposed to "protect" women from men's gaze -- what bullshit! Men should be able to keep their dicks under wrap without enslaving women in those monstrous garments.

[distantearlywarning]

54. Those stupid baggy pants that young men wear belted around their knees

Most ridiculous and pathetic fashion trend ever.

Second on the list would be low-rise jeans for women. They look crappy even on size 2s, and don't fit me at all, which forces me to search the entire universe every time I need a pair of jeans.

[Skittles]

60. how long will that fad last?

I mean, WTF - it's been DECADES :o

[RedCloud]

57. Fig leaves. They crumble up anyway.

[knowbody0]

58. so with you on the ties

really, what's the point? to draw attention to your zipper?

[jmowreader]

61. Printed t-shirts

If you did, 90 percent of the male population of North Idaho would be naked, but still...

[femmocrat]

62. Bras. There is no such thing as one that fits.

At least not anymore!
