Please Pick Up Your Clothes

Seriously, You Think This is a Dress?

So it’s come out that Kate Middleton (the future wife of Prince William) caught his eye wearing the “outfit” that you see to the right—and this can all be yours at an upcoming London auction! I wouldn’t call this a dress, nor would I call it a skirt: The garment was initially intended to be [...]

Is It Wrong For Women to Wear Pants?

In Paris, France, the answer would be yes. In 1800, a Paris police chief introduced a rule banning women from dressing like men—namely by wearing pants instead of skirts and dresses.  This idea is not that foreign.  The Biblical Old Testament speaks of it being wrong for women to dress like men such that you [...]

NYPD vs Superman and Batman

Two panhandlers were arrested when they dressed up as the caped crusader and the man of steel without a permit to impersonate these characters—and it didn’t help that superman punched a female police officer.

What Do Looks Have to Do With Anything?

It all started with Hillary.  We had the discussions about someone that was running for high office could show cleavage, whether they should wear pants-suits, and even some discussion about what a ladylike sitting position is—and this was all before Gov. Sarah Palin even walked onstage.  Indeed, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that [...]

Is This Modest?

I invite you to come check out the launch of a new website that we’ve started called: Is This Modest? The point of this site is to help people answer questions of modesty from both a guy’s and girl’s perspective. We have a group of writers lined up, but the key feature of this new [...]

What Does It Mean to Look Pretty?

Shortly after God made clothes out of sheep skin for Adam and Eve, the very next thing Eve did was turn to Adam and ask, “Does this make me look fat?”  Or at least we can imagine that she did. As far back as the Song of Solomon we know that women were judging themselves, [...]

What the Media Wants You To Think

Not that you were aware, but Barbie celebrated her 49th birthday last week (thanks, Lydia).  My first encounter with Barbie was not a pleasant one since it dealt with a mischievous boy on our bus.  You see, Barbie isn’t bad in and of herself.  She could be just about anything, and that allowed little girls [...]

Clothing Finally Catching Up With the Times

There are many things that have changed in the whole realm of having children since the days when our parents had us. For one thing, dads are actually expected to be in the room and– GULP– cut the extension umbilical cord. They are given all sorts of instructions about not holding their wife’s hand and [...]

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

I’m going to say this in advance– I apologize for the lack of clothing on the girl in this picture, but I’m using this picture to hopefully make an important point. The man on the right is said to be the father of the girl on the left. What is wrong with this picture? What [...]

What Would Jesus Think About These Shirts?

When I was on my honeymoon with my beautiful wife, we went to different shops and one of them was a T-Shirt shop.  They had a whole rack of “Christian T-Shirts”  much like the ones available at Unkle Makk’s ChristiantShirtshop.  They have expressions like the shirt you see to your right, You To be, and [...]

Showing Your Stuff No Longer a Problem

At least, that’s what our culture is telling the younger set. At one time, not so long ago, a Miss America contestant was forced to relinquish her title because some nude photos were found of her. Now, we live in a time where a sex tape or naughty pictures are almost expected. The latest, Vanessa [...]

Before They’re Even an Adult

How old should a young lady be before she’s able to be the cover model for a fashion show? Take a look at the young lady at the right and meet Maddison Gabriel. She was picked as the official ambassador of Gold Coast Fashion Week in Australia. She’s modeled a number of revealing outfits for [...]

Top 10 Modesty Issues for Men

Min’s been so serious lately, I thought I would drag thoughts in a little more light-hearted direction. So with tongue fully in cheek, I present the Top 10 Modesty Issues for Men No Speedos. ‘Nuff said. Except for professional athletes, No Spandex! Midriff baring t-shirts were only acceptable for 80′s male aerobics instructors. Visible tattoos [...]

Do We Really Need to Exploit Women This Way?

If it didn’t bother you that coffee shops were serving the public in sexualized attire, that waitresses at the Heart Attack Grill wear sexy nurse outfits, or that there is a car wash where women wear next to nothing simply for the reason that they did these things behind closed doors and you could choose to ignore [...]
