More often than not I hear my girls rattling off about what someone else is wearing or...not wearing!

I used to be the same way, when I saw someone wearing or saying something that I didn't like, I was the first one to jump on the wagon and start bashing them.

Howcome girls do this? I never hear my guy friends saying "OH MY GOD, THAT TOP IS SOOOO NOT."

sure, everyone has their feux paas, mine are crocs, I just can't stand them!

and clothing, or nudity that is inappropriate isn't good either.

and I'm not saying there aren't plenty of people walking around with bad clothes and low self esteem.

But more often than not I see my friends making snarky comments at the girl in "ugly" shoes who just happens to be glamorous enough to pull them off.

 

I guess my real question is, why do individuals think that they are so fashionable that THEY can make the calls on what someone is wearing.

When I realized how much I was judging people, I started to notice it isn't the clothes that fail, it's the person that picked them out.

Remeber that lovelyish post about the "Ugly" shoes?

well I've come to realize the only thing making any of those shoes ugly or unfashionable is the person wearing them. (I'll save my rant about the difference between things made for aesthetics and things made for the sake of art for a different post)

All looking good really is to me is knowing what you can pull off and doing it, and if someone walks past me wearing crocs, a tutu, and 5 pounds of eyeliner, while being absolutely fabulous, I have no room to judge or dictate what is and is not acceptable.

Do you find yourself concerned with what other people are wearing? how often? why or why not?

if you do, maybe you should turn your comments on yourself

what were you thinking when you put that on this morning?

do you know what other people are seeing?

where did you buy your clothes?

 

Why are we not more concerned about what we are wearing ourselves anyway?

 

 

I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not angry at anything.

Now I'm not highly religious or anything, but if it's one thing I've learned from church it's that god wants us to treat each and every individual with respect. Yet throughout history religious wars involving christians have been pretty popular.
I live in Texas, and there is a very strong religious foundation here, but what worries me is the condemning nature I've observed in "true" and "real" christians. I don't really understand it, the whole fire and brimstone thing, the whole 'call your neighbor a devil worshipper and don't ever contact them again' thing. I don't understand making christianity look ugly.
Honestly, I think that kind of stuff just drives people away.Sometimes I wonder if it's a question of morals or maturity.
I remember there was a "real" catholic girl in my class, and she wouldn't talk to anyone who she knew used tampons, because in her eyes they weren't virgins.

Sure there are more controversial issues in which christians have been ugly. Homosexuality, being a very popular issue nowdays.

People come from all different walks of life, yet I see highly religious christians disowning good people, because they don't go to church every sunday.

Why is it that believers find it justified to be UGLY to other human beings to stand up to their god? Is that really what the bible teaches? Shun the nonbeliever?

Now I have seen plenty of ultra religious people who are good to everyone and they are some of the nicest most curteous people I know, but I have also seen some ugly, ugly, ugly, christians and it's embarassing to me.
