I just spent my whole afternoon reviewing photos. I was somewhat amazed at all the headless members lol. Anyway….I am trying to learn what others wear and how the over-all transformation presents. It would seem that what we present and what passes for “garb” on the street and different venues are quite different. Goin “out” in public is a confusing issue……what to wear that makes us feel fem, yet not stand out too much. We want to fit in with the “herd” so to speak. After all, you don’t wear an evening dress out to buy groceries, unless you want to wind up on the front page of the local newspaper. No wonder all this begets a huge wardrobe. I live, in this moment in a small town of 11,000 people and no horse. Believe me, went out in my Special Ops cameo jacket this morning and everyone stared at me as if I was an alien! They will get used to it then ignore me. I was just in Toronto and the current dress code seems to be slob. My town is mostly seniors and the youth do not go slob. Even office workers do not dress up like before. How sad. I envision pure nakedness in 5 years…..WE are all screwed now! well…must run….more to follow tomorrow. Lady Victoria Graunwolf
Hi girls…..been a bit behind in things here. During a week in Toronto, I spent time looking at other women. My first chapter indicated that “street wear, uniform was predominently “slob: that is scruffy running shoes, torn jeans and tank tops, t-shirts. Oh there were some very nicely dressed girls mainly in the financial district. The Oriental girls are fabulous…very flashy and well made up, pleasure to look at. Irregardless of dress, they all seems to be quite happy as they did their thing. That is what counts I guess. Yes, the well dressed did comment on the “slobby” and visa-versa.
On to the night club scene. Now here we have a horse of another color. Everyone looked like movie stars. Well dressed, coordinated and flaw-less make-up. If I could critique anything it was the fact they all tried to out talk each other, wave their hands and arms around and pay little attention to their escorts. I guess that is a time for letting loose and not persuing serious relationships. I guess I am stuck in the 70’s! Of course there are clubs for the young set, there they dress in street wear, are very noisy and flighty. As I look back in my life, I remember that things changed between groups at about every 10 years or so. Life hasn’t really changed that much. Another interesting observation was that each group didn’t seem to care for the other group. Very Interesting……the “tribal” thing goes on. I mention this as I have an article on the go called “Steppin Out”. It is about fitting in and not looking out of place, so that you don’t attract undue attention. It is mostly for the “newbies” and those who are trying to work up courage to “hit the streets” as it were.
The mall and shopping were the most interesting. You won’t find a more diverse “dress” place. I swear I was in an episode of “Wal-Mart People”. If this is new to you, go to your fave search engine and type in “photos of Wal-Mart people”. It really makes me wonder why people pick on cross dressers, or drag queens…….have they not looked at themselves?? Who in their right mind goes shopping in PJs and curlers? Who goes shopping with a 5 yard wide butt jammed into junior sized sweat pants???? My article says…”When in Rome, do as the Romans do” so as not to stand out, however, I am not going to Wal-Mart dressed like that…no sir, unh unh, no way, nyet, never, no how! I like my “Lady” status….sorry. Any howwww…..I shall add to this article with more observations later. Must scoot…..

Dear Lady Graunwolf,
It was a pleasure to read your clothing surveys. I happen to live in Swedens 4th largest town, with about 180 000 inhabitants, out of whom more than 30 000 are students at either of our two universities. Since students are always prepared to party, it is actually not uncommon to meet one or another slightly astray, wearing a ballgown or tuxedo at any time of the day. Among the rest, I must say I recognise most of the types you’re describing. As for myself, I try to look nice and proper and more often dress to blend in than to stand out in the crowd.
