Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Nora Gardner update


Our favorite designer of professional womenswear (see Forbes: Nora Gardner Turns A Careerwear Challenge Into Winning Looks) has come out with...


... a line of men's polo shirts with her seahorse logo.


It's Spring up here, so I'm gonna get me one, in black. Be the first guy on your block to have one. Those Brooks Brother's dead sheep logos are so dorky, and the Ralph Lauren polo player is just plain gay, and nobody wants to be gay unless they are. A seahorse is cool, like Neptune.


Photo is a Nora Gardner day-to-night dress.

Duude!

Male seahorses are the ultimate beta males. They do all the child rearing.

No way would I wear a seahorse logo.

It takes a confident male ...

to wear women's clothing. Yes, and there should be no social stigmas about wearing what you want, but there are.

haha.

My wife made me quit wearing dresses.

she probably was jealous about your fashion sense :)

Seriously, those NG dresses in many places would not be allowed in offices, be considered "too sexy" because the hemline is higher than the knees (or even ankles).

That's ever more the sad reality of a society that associates showing a limb as causing sexual arousal, a self reinforcing attitude of course.

Actually, I was a single father to three boys for many years after "giving her the space she needed."

So I was only kidding about the sea horse...but you knew that.

That's one good looking model in the turqoise dress.

I used to like the Munsingwear penguin.

Haven't seen them for years.

HAHAHAHA!

Ok, so first off, I was killing my dad over 'the dead sheep' logo years ago. Of course, I still own a few BB suits. Well made, great fitting.

However, while I agree the polo player is 'gay' (OMG I'm soooo not PC and sooo insensitive!), both sons tell me otherwise and gave me a Polo shirt for Christmas. I prefer a 'no labels' approach to clothing. I'm not a billboard, after all.

However, the Vineyard Vines whale IS THE LOGO OF THE MOMENT. Just sayin'.

I like the seahorse. I'll pick three up. One for each of the boys. Let's see how that goes over.

Forget the seahorses: this woman needs to design clothes for women who are built more for comfort than speed.

Any idea how to find out what gulag sweatshop they are made in? For $45 I very much doubt they are made in the USA.

Come on. Its just a t shirt dress. No designing there. Nice t shirt dress and all.

I miss the Britches of Georgetown warthog logo. Nothing pansy about that!

Cute clothes, but unfortunately they are all made from synthetic fabrics - polyester, nylon, rayon, etc.

I am not a big shopper and tend to purchase clothing for the long haul, which usually means items constructed from cotton, linen, silk, and wool.

If they started making clothing from natural fibers then I could see myself shopping there.
