Gee, maybe Grits would be interested.
a gentleman not long ago wrote a letter to the editor (arkansas democrat gazette) which said that these women were NOT dressed strangely (i had compared them to little house on the prairie women myself) but were dressed correctly. that women shouldn't be 'wearing mens clothing. wearing makeup, and looking like jezebels'. i could see him buying things from them for his wife--assuming he's married that is.
