wearing dresses

[ballettalia]

Girls,
I'm putting together a series of 3 posts on wearing skirts and dresses--part is old and I'm wanting to add in new material....LAF is using it now so I want it to look nicer. Anyway! Those of you who wear dresses/skirts....would any of you want to send me picture(s) of you in some of yours to post as examples and proof that beautiful young women can dress in skirts and not look frumpy? ;)

Chantel and April, I'm thinking specifically of you, but would welcome submissions from anyone. If you want to write a bit too, on why you like wearing them, etc. etc. feel free! If you don't have my email address, comment and I'll get it to ya.

PS this is NOT for YLCF---this is just on my photography blog....linked thru LAF. If that makes a difference....it's not as public. :)

Hey, I'm wearing one today! :-) We're about to go to the grocery store...I wonder if they let you take pics in Whole Foods...? I would be happy to contribute. :-)

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

Whole Foods....:drool: ;) Their 70% dark chocolate is to DIE for--you ever gotten some? It's good our WF is an hour away....I'm addicted to that stuff, lol.

I'd love to have some of you--esp with your hair and all. I can think of a lot of older ones that you've posted that would be fine too--whatever you want to choose.

Methinks we will be getting a few pics Saturday too!!! :)

[sweetpeapink.livejournal.com]

Hee...well, my sister has balked at the thought of lugging a camera around the store for two hours, not to mention the extreme geekdom of taking pictures of me in a store, so I will have her take a pic before we go.

70% dark chocolate, eh? I'll have to look for that... :-D

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

Lol. Thanks...your sister reminds me of me sometimes...as much as I want pictures, I get embarrassed to have them taken. ;)

Yes, I can tell you just where it is--it's in the hot soup/cheese/bakery section. It's the best chocolate I've ever had--it might even be 80% bittersweet organic chocolate. :grin:

(I have WF about memorized, hehe)

[songofsummer.livejournal.com]

Whole foods? Whole foods?? :O No fair! :-P

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

How is Whole foods different then Trader Joes? There are both here, but I've never been to WF. Ex-communicate me if you like. ;-)

[rowannrose.livejournal.com]

I've never been to WF either. ;) I used to love going to Trader Joe's, however, down in California.

[sweetpeapink.livejournal.com]

Hee...ummm...I don't know how they compare since I've only ever been to WF. The one near us is enormous, and has regular, natural, and organic everything, three different cafe/eateries, large fish department, large meat department, huge bakery, heirloom live plants, and a fair size cut flower department. It's a pretty new store, though.

[songofsummer.livejournal.com]

*grin* I've never been to Trader Joe's either, so I don't know either. ;)

We stumbled across our first Whole Foods somewhere in Virginia in 2001. We had NO idea anything so wonderful existed, as Alaska basically only had a smaller Health food store, Natural Pantry, in Anchorage and sometimes a health food section in Fred Meyers.

The nearest one is Colorado Springs, and it's pretty nice...though I only get there once in a blue moon. ;)

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

Do want pictures of all of us? What about that picture of me in front of the fountain at ASU that I posted a while ago? I could send that to you, if you like, or look at what else I have down here.

What is LAF?

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

When I say "all" I mean, do you want a full body shot?

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

oops, Jennie just broke that link, lol. Try this new one:

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

How does one break a link?

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

the webmaster can do what she wishes. ;) Because it was broken--I told her it was and so she finished breaking it so she could fix it.

Lol

You've never heard of LAF!!!/???! Girl, where have you BEEN? ;) I find that hard to believe. Wow.

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

No, I never ever have. Well, I take that back; it sounds familiar, but I couldn't tell you anything about it.

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

I don't remember a specific pic, but yes, send me anything you like. And it doesn't have to be full-body but the goal is that they can tell it's a skirt at least. ;)

Ladies Against Feminism is linking to this....ever seen this collection?

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. you can always look on facebook too, and see if there are any pictures that would work. :-)

Nope, I've never seen it...

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

I found one on Facebook....that fountain one. :) if ya have any others, great. Just lmk

[abideinchrist.livejournal.com]

Do you want that one, or should I look for another/better one? Does it fit the goal you are looking for? Do you want the original copy, or can you use the one on facebook?

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

tis fine. thanks. you can see what I'm doing here:
www.nataliephotography.blogspot.com

[songofsummer.livejournal.com]

Shall take a look through my pictures and see what I can find. :)If nothing else, I can always have a couple taken in the next day or so, though I'm sure there must be some in my files. About how big should I make the images?

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

you can send them full-res or whatever is easiest for you....I'm not sure how big I'll put them on the blog post--probably not more than about 500x800--likely a lot smaller.

thanks Chantel! Oh, and that icon is simply gorgeous!! Wow. What is it from?

Makes my Oki hibiscus look limp ;)

[songofsummer.livejournal.com]

Ok, I've dug some up. Can't say I'm excited about the faces I made in all of them, but I shouldn't have made them if I didn't want anyone to see. ;)

I didn't make the icon- but I loved it! You can grab it if you like. I think that I got it from the icon journal of raptureicons

[sweetpeapink.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, I oodles and oodles of pics of me traipsing and hiking all over Australia in a skirt. Would you be interested in any of those?

[sweetpeapink.livejournal.com]

Correction: Australia AND New Zealand. Yeah. Whoever says you can't hike in a skirt and sandals has never tried it...

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

:cracks up: it sounds like you already read my post. :)

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

lol mais oui. The more active the better--prove that you can hike in a skirt ;)

BTW, are those still online? If so, I'd love the link to show Rick some--he wants ot go to Sydney and I want to stop over in N.Z. ;)

[sweetpeapink.livejournal.com]

Hmm...well, it appears that they were deleted by Snapfish. Argh. Umm...I could give you copies of our Sydney and NZ DVD's if you wanted...then you could send them back to me when you're done (or give them to me the next time you see me). When you are getting ready to go, make sure you tell me because there are certain things that you absolutely MUST see.

Sydney is the most beautiful city I have ever been to (and I've been to a lot), and NZ is by far the most beautiful country.

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

I THOUGHT they'd been on Snapfish but I hadn't seen them on there lately.

It's no rush on those....we won't be going til after we're married. :) But we'll definitely talk and such before then. I'm surprised a little to hear you think Sydney is the most beautiful. Wow. Rick says the same....I just wouldn't have thought of that off the top of my head. But my grandpa agrees with you that NZ is the most beautiful country--and he has been EVERYWHERE (even Antartica! ;)).

[misshoneybee.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll participate. I don't think I have your e-mail address.

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

that anonymous comment was me not signed in :-P :) that's my email

[everjoyfulsong.livejournal.com]

I probably have some pictures somewhere if you're still looking for more. I wear dresses most of the time. Just let me know if you want me to check.

I commented to you once asking if you would add me, but I never got a reply. I can understand how you would easily miss it since it was only one comment. But I am still wondering if you would be willing to add me. I greatly enjoy reading what you write for YLCF and I would love to read more that you write. I do understand if you'd rather not, but please let me know either way. Thank you!

God bless you Natalie!

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

Hi,
If you would like to submit a couple photos to be used, I'd like to see them. Thank you!

As for the friends list, I use YLCF for all my public writing and my LJ is mostly for a very small group of real life friends. As such I keep it very limited. Thanks for understanding.

[countrymaiden.livejournal.com]

I have a couple pictures that I could dig up and share with you. :D If you still need some...

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

I sure do! If you could email them to me, I'd like to include some....a short description of what you are doing, name and age would be great.
my email: aragornsrose at gmail

[countrymaiden.livejournal.com]

Ok. :D I'll hunt for them, and get back to you asap! :P

[songofsummer.livejournal.com]

I love the pic you sent, Christina! :) Can I save it for my friends' file?

[countrymaiden.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you would like to, you can! :D I don't mind. :D

[virtuouswife.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

I saw you had commented in one of songofsummer's recent posts. I found this post of yours and was wondering if you still had the articles posted somewhere. I've been very curious about the idea of women always wearing skirts and dresses and would be interested in reading what you have to say. Thanks a bunch! :)

[catatinan-maid.livejournal.com]

i do indeed. it is here:

http://nataliephotography.blogspot.com/2005/09/unexpected-benefit-of-dressing.html

LAF (ladiesagainstfeminism.com) has a lot of really good material on this subject as well. I love love love wearing skirts all the time. :)
