She's not my type either. I'm engaged to Richard Geer. But I think AlphaFrog secretly desires me. She's so obsessed with me! It's quite flattering, even though she's not the right gender.

And why would Kirsten be wearing her traditional Swedish dirndl with those sandals? She should be wearing thick socks and brown boots with it.

Um, its a DOLL - why are you questioning her fashion choices? And what the heck is up with you & the socks? I think you have a weird sock fetish or something... again, really really scary!

"my Kirsten right now is wearing the mint green work outfit"

The fact that you know what your doll is wearing right now is beyond scary. My mother collects Madame Alexander dolls (the limited edition pricey ones) but I can bet you a zillion bucks that a) she doesn't change their clothes; and b) she wouldn't have a clue as to what one would be wearing without going to look first.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with adults collecting dolls. There are way worse things a person could be collecting, honestly.

I don't care that a person chooses to collect dolls... its the fact that some of them choose to clothe them in different outfits and play with them that fits the "worse" part of that sentence.

It's a good thing we're getting married because I love you right now.

Now, you KNOW that I would have bright orange crocks. I wear them to the pool. Actually, they are pretty comfy! But I'd feel silly wearing them with a dress.

The big one in the center in the blue lace and curls is going to give me nightmares. Thanks.

And WHOSE idea was Bob Mackie???

ETA: Bob Mackie belongs on Cher and Carol Burnett and that's about it.

What about dresscodes for formal events? My husband is in the Army and we have a lot of functions to attend and it never fails that I see a woman (because my husband is in combat arms and there are no female soldiers in his unit) dressed very inappropriately. The uniforms for the guys are eq1uivalent to tuxes with and without tails, so it stands to reason the women should at the very least wear an evening gown, not the hoochie skirts they seem to be so fond of. Me personally, I'd love to go looking like this:

Audrey and Givenchy will never go out of style.

I don't think either of those is Bob Mackie, especially not the demon doll.

When I went to the ex boyfriend's fraternity formal, there was a girl there wearing a dress so short that she couldn't sit all night! Classy.

I agree. My motto is that unless it's a VERY cute dress, if it comes from the juniors' department it's probably a bad choice. I saw a woman at a wedding this past weekend wearing a short lace (eek!) skirt and a black top that showed her midriff. It was a black tie wedding. She also thought it was appropriate to freak her date down low on the dance floor so all her business was out there on the street. Very classy.

Let's talk about leggings. Does anyone here think that, since leggings are coming back into style, they're appropriate for the workplace? I don't. Especially since most of the girls who I see wearing leggings are wearing them only so they can get away with super-short skirts.

Speaking of leggings, please, PLEASE don't ever wear these:

The blue crotch reminds me of the liquid they always use in maxi pad, baby diaper and Depends commercials.

I think the girl was from New York, so that may have been the same girl! LOL
