Those Whigs were some fun-looking dudes!

I did a report on Calvin Coolidge once.

Dapper!

I like how women dressed in the early 20s. Just pile on whatever you've got and top it with a funny hat.

Mmm, needs more dead animal carcasses.

Harding's wife looks like she could be an extra from Dances with Wolves with all that fur she's got on.

She probably got cold on the way to the event and grabbed the dead animal for warmth. It was the way they did it back then.

Ragtime player piano music was going in the background the whole time.

Man, I mean seriously. Fuck a pair of jeans. I want a big floppy drop waisted dress and a hat with an ostrich feather in it. I can gain and lose 40 pounds and the only part of my wardrobe I'd have to adjust is my belt.

Also, I'd get a pet racoon.

Or as that lady calls it, "my new sweater."

Let's see if we can exhaust the GIS for Grace Coolidge posing with animals:

I also think all male children under 14 should wear newsboy caps and short pants and break into spontaneous four-part harmony on street corners.

xp - with that, I think you just exhausted it.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Look at that dress! You could shoplift a watermelon with that thing! It's less structured than most of my loungewear.

Damn it, I'm bringing slouchy back.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

Another one of the 'coon:

I want to know why Cal is wearing a black armband above.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Presumably somebody died.

Ahhhhhhh waist-less dresses are the bane of my sartorial existence, they make me look like a full sack of flour.

― Laurel, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel 8080

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

What's the 8080?
Infinities? Multiple infinities?

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

They make everybody look like a full sack of flour. That's the beauty of it!

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Let's see if I get this right:

8080 was the port through which computers connected with the nu-ILX server and was often blocked by people at work. DC people started saying 8080 instead of OTM.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know why, but then again, DC doesn't really need a reason, nawmean?

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

I think they make boxy thin women look just fine, though. also all those 20s minidresses work for women with nice gams.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

Not so! GFY is full of similarly thin women in sack dresses looking very flour-bag-esque.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

Jenna Jameson seriously looks like a different person in that picture.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

Come on, ladies. Embrace, nay, revel in our natural roundness. Nothing but floppy yards of natural fiber fabrics with nary a constructed waistband in sight. Our biggest fashion concern will be how to get the skirts out of the way when we ride bikes and not getting our hems caught in subway doors.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, she's not looking real great, sack dress or no. Poor woman.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know who Rita Coolidge is, but I did think it was funny that when I did a GIS for "coolidge" that Jennifer Coolidge suddenly popped up in the third row, underneath all sorts of flapper-era presidential portraits and whatnot.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

August 2005 was a great GFY month for otherwise socially acceptably constructed women to look not so great in sack-like dresses.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

okay, but someone like Kirsten Dunst, I think she pulls off the sack dress look (I realize this is a controversial opinion.)

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

I'm actually just accepting the GFY opinion as the norm. Unless they are talking about something really outrageous, I usually don't see what the big deal is, personally. Pam from the Office on the Aug 05 page is a good example - I love that dress and I love her and I would totally want to wear that dress and be her friend. I just read the site because the women who write it are funny. We also have a shared befuddlement with formal shorts and Uggs.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Like, I am almost 100% okay with wearing dresses over jeans, which makes the GFY writer apoplectic. I also think leggings are a great invention.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

I love go fug yourself, it has saved me from boredom many a time, but those women operate on a really conservative aesthetic, yeah. I hate leggings, though, but only because they look awful on me.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

I actually appreciate some of the conservatism, at least as far as their shunning of trashy, "my thong is the centerpience of my dress" type outfits. I also think they have some sound advice w/r/t foundation garments.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Jenny, you know I luff you, but I must take serious issue with your campaign to dress all women in an old potato sack. Here in this land we call the Midwest, we lack the sweeping vistas of a mountain range, an ancient forest, or an ocean. Our greatest resource of natural beauty is nice round Midwestern girl parts, and depriving us of the view would make our land a much bleaker place indeed.

― kenan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Uh, I like looking at girls, don't get me wrong, but aside from the mountains we actually do have these things (more or less in the case of the latter i.e. the Great Lakes).

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

I wish they'd leave Kirsten Dunst/Maggie G/Chloe S alone about not wearing bras, though. Sometimes the girls just need to roam free, fashion be damned.

xp - you're right, Kenan. The great flaw in my campaign is that I failed to consider the desires of men. What was I thinking?

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

Plus women can wear what they want, it just makes the task of getting them to take it off more... interesting?

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

Jenny 8080 that's the part of fashion snarkiness that always gives me pause, where it becomes super-overtly antifeminist. I was talking to a friend of mine recently about bringing bralessness back.
