Time does not permit me to go into detail but I especially liked what you said about Broadway.<BR/><BR/>Tshirts, flip flops and a box of whoppers at what was once a grand affair.<BR/><BR/>It makes me sad.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305469033894977351.post-79584289433804401512008-12-01T21:36:00.000-05:002008-12-01T21:36:00.000-05:00I think part of the reason for it is that as corpo...I think part of the reason for it is that as corporate America demanded longer hours and more productivity from its workers, it threw them the bone of "casual Fridays." And then later allowed casual dress every workday.<BR/><BR/>I miss dressing up too, but in my case, a lot of it stems from working at home. Some days, I don't even get out of my pajamas until I have to walk the dog at noon.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305469033894977351.post-83244759267097480162008-12-01T21:25:00.000-05:002008-12-01T21:25:00.000-05:00It is interesting how different we can feel about ...It is interesting how different we can feel about ourselves depending on how we dress. I think the culture has lost something by most everyone dressing down for most every event. There was something so nice about going to church on Easter Sunday in the 60s (when I was a kid) and seeing everyone dressed up in their finest. It just felt extra special. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, of it's any consolation, just know that your daughter (and anyone else who dresses nicely for special events) simply stands out from the masses in a nice way, and people do notice. So in an ironic way, the general downward cultural trend in dress codes makes those who are thoughtful even more special than they used to be. I say we need more of that countercultural outlook.John Ettorrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229971392235689875noreply@blogger.com
