Why are all you boys posting on the frock thread? Are you not taking this seriously?


And, *Bob*, you need to know that frocks are WAY too important to only have one favourite. Here's a selection off the top of my head and I've not even begun to think about it. If I was at home and opened my wardrobe doors then the memories would come flooding out.


In no particular order:


A dark blue Tom Ford dress with a long train that I wore to my friends' civil partnership ceremony in Brighton. The sleeves and the d?collet? are made from tulle. I got to go to a wedding in a dress with a train and I was like a little girl at the candy store. Except the train was nearly destroyed by Brighton pier when I was too happy to notice.


My First Holy Communion dress (obviously white with a white veil in case anyone doesn?t know what a Communion dress looks like). I wasn?t blessed with the happiest childhood so that dress is a happy memory in a sea of not so happy memories.


A Versace couture dress that was part of the same collection as the infamous Hurley dress. It?s a very simple design. Long, black, strapless, with one zip up the front (for the full length of the dress) and a similar one up the back. It?s very simple and completely stunning. It?s so well made that it holds you in everywhere and makes you stand upright, a bit like a wedding dress.


My very first evening gown which was green and gold cotton and came with its own wrap. I wore it to death and was heartbroken when it fell past repair.


A dress I coveted for years which belonged to a schoolfriend. It was yellow and purple (this was the 70s). Years later I figured out that it was a high street copy of an Ossie Clark. I would love to own an Ossie Clark dress.


Thinking about dresses I have coveted, top of the list must be Audrey Hepburn?s Breakfast at Tiffany?s gown. Swoon.


I have a few Alice Temperley dresses and I love wearing them - they always put me in a good mood because they?re mostly bright. My favourite is the ?Orchid? dress from about four years ago. It?s basically a bright pink dress with a big black orchid on it. I just can?t be miserable when I?m wearing that dress.


The pink flowery tea dress I bought for my Godchild last year from Soup Dragon. She literally danced when she saw it. We were in Blue Mountain and she put it on there and then and had to be coaxed out of it at bedtime. There?s a girl after my own heart.


And to think, all you boys have is your boring old cars. My heart breaks for you, it really does.

There's nothing wrong with a spot of cross dressing from time to time.


Disappearing into a girl's bedroom at a party and emerging wearing poorly-matched selection of their clothes is surely a Great British Tradition? It helps if you know the girl reasonably well, obviously.


Though I think you're only allowed to do it so many times within a certain period of time. Otherwise it becomes 'a thing'.

Thank Heavens I'm not the only red-bloodied Male who has a penchant for wearing Womens Clothes!


I admit I was beginning to think that I was a shade, well, unusual, shall we say, but obviously not!(tu)


My own particular preference is for a fox fur(fake) over Hot Pants but I refuse to wear Make-up which seems a little "girly"

for a strapping six-footer like me...

Tony my dear maybe I should introduce you to my neighbours... I'm sure he's the one with clonking stilettos and the "control" vest thingy!


Personally I find a suit and tie very attractive on a gal especially if time has been taken to apply decent make up and straighteners have tamed the wild hair :))

After reading that amazing list of dresses I feel like by comparision I only have my boring cars too. And given I drive a Ford Focus that is saying something.

In solidarity with giggirl, and because dresses are important, and because I fit most female sterotypes and don't care at all about cars or football, and can't read maps without getting into them, and can't park, and can't throw or catch at all, and can't reliably tell my left from my right, I'm going to take the question seriously and respond.


My favourite ever dress is my wedding dress, for obvious reasons.


But my favourite normal dress is a trusted LBD that always looks fabulous and never lets me down. It's a very clever layered empire line that floats over the dodgy upper arm area, shows off the clevage and then subtly emphasises the waist. It's perfectly demure, but totally sexy. When I tried it on, just before Christmas a few years ago, three other women were also trying on party dresses while their husbands waited patiently (it was in the lovely Hobbs on South Molton street that has the sports sections laid out on sofas for the men outside the changing rooms. Three of us all came out of the changing rooms at the same time in this dress. We were all completely different shapes and sizes, yet all looked fantastic in it. There was a moment of stunned silence then the husband who's wife had a different dress on said "I want to see my wife in that dress!"


It's a great dress.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
