Forgive me! It was late yesterday when I read your comment. The joke went over my head at the time! Yes indeed! Donna Koran! What a wonderful play on words!
But the contrast with Donna 'Koran's' usual fashions couldn't be greater. Check out her usual styles here. Now what happened this season, eh? :-)
Do they shop at La Perla? Yes, the rich ones probably do; and then they go home and hide it all under the black sack! But the poor ones just satisfy themselves with the black sack. After all, Allah wills it that way!
Check out La Perla fashions here. Tell me what you think.
Like any red blooded male, I'm aware of the palace of dreams, but being a poor man, it's all a bit priced out of my league...Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with the dreams.
From dreams, big things are realized. Dreams are the seeds of greatness! Let them germinate, my friend. It only takes one good seed to germinate! Don't let the seeds fall on barren ground. Dream on!
Mark, what red blooded male ever gave up on that one? Though here, discretion being the better part of valor, I'd best watch my words, lest I inflame someone's feelings.
To an obtuse mind, Cast your mind back to the subject in hand. And I see you don't know the ladies too well, they are creatures of their 'feelings'.
The magic of it all is that it is the difference that fascinates and confuses us at the same time. Like moths to the flame, we keep getting burnt, but we always come back for more, for we are driven by our natures, and natures grand plan has a purpose that cannot and will not be denied, know matter how much, nor how hard, the new utopians long to fashion us to their grand designs.
Yes Mark, that last paragraph speaks to conflicts which swirl around our heads. The first part however, is pure La Perla
You know what Mark, I think I lost the plot here myself. When I said cast your mind back to the original subject, I was focused on my first post on LaPerla. See the power of women in sexy underwear.
Hhmm, must rethink this, maybe the stern men if Islam have a point...
Ok, wasted far too much time on that stupid thought. I'll take a free and independant woman, over one in chains any day of the week. On a cost benefit basis, the chance to find true happiness, far outway the security of possession.

How can you assume that "I don't know the ladies too well"? On what basis are you making that assumption?

Our natures, then, have to be tamed. Once bitten, twice shy!
Yes Mark, that last paragraph speaks to conflicts which swirl around our heads. The first part however, is pure La Perla
You'll have to explain yourself better than this to me, I'm afraid."The first part is pure La Perla"? What on earth does that mean, JAR?
Mark. I see you wish me to get serious on a lite hearted thread, OK my friend.
Yes you're right, jumping to assumptions can lead one astray...sorry.
Am I an expert on women...NOPE however, I am fascinated by human interactions, why we do what we do. Because when you look around at human relations in the world at large, it seems to operate in a state of pure chaos, which from my vantagepoint seems to be, at this time in our evolution, in violation of nature's laws, which calls for regeneration as an ongoing imperative. For we really were not meant to spend our tiny span of years in endless bickering and squabbles.
The quintissential essense of modern feminine allure, is captured in what LaPerla sells. Notice here that I did not say feminine mystique, for that would imply a totality and be wrong, women are far more than mere playthings, though much of humanity seems to actively deny this. A woman's power is in the degree she she can attract a male. A dynamic, that was at the core of the feminist movement, slated for abolition. But it just won't die. The feminists are/were fighting against not only male mysogeny (sp?), but also basic human nature, after all, boys will be boys and girls will be girls, It's a fact of nature that we just like each other.
What the feminist movement achieved, and thankfully so in my opinion, is they managed to break the male mysogenist grip on the dynamic of male dominance. But this conflicts with a basic law of nature, that women are attracted to a confident male, at least as a general rule, not to a wimp.While they may use their beauty to manipulate, or intimadate even, the basic law of the game is to attract the best possible mate to protect and help raise the family. Incidentally this touches upon another aspect of that Gramscian paradigm, the assault on the institution of marriage, but that's a tangent for another day
Some wise person, I forget who now, said that, "Man was the sum total of all his constituant parts. Whereas woman was held to be judged by their appearance only", or something along those lines. Not fair is it, no, but who said nature ever played fair.
Men are attracted to beautiful women, women are attracted to men that make them feel strong emmotions. At least that's my theory. Then of course, there's always exceptions to the rule. Feel free to shoot it down in flames if you want.
Just an addendum to my last post. Where I say that "women are far more than mere playthings". In re-reading that line, I see that it could lead to an interpretation, contrary to my actual intent. Women are most definately not playthings for men, they are our equal and like us, they are free and independant beings. I guess here, I'm sticking two fingers up at the religion of peace, 'cause they've lost the plot. No, the gist of the comment was an aknowledgement to the actual nature of women when they interact with a prospective mate,they, like men, like to play. For when humans play, they bond in a natural seamless manner. Don't believe me, just watch young lovers in the park. Incidentally, women are much better at the rules of this game. The enormous damage done by the feminist movement, as it tramped across the corridors of power, into the hands of the Gramscians, was that it maliciously and subversively undermined the concepts of masculinity in the minds of men, in short it released the man haters to wreak their destruction. Something that wasn't neccessary for the basic cause of freeing men from the clutches of domineering men. (Again this is going off on a tangent).
You naughty boy, there deffinately is a touch of the devil in you, I like that. Humour, scorn, sarcasm are great weapons at the service of a sharp mind. bld, you mentioned before that you liked my style and wished you could write so forcefully. You my friend have your own weapons, to take into service of our endeavours, you just don't recognise it yet. We each have our abilities, lets play to our strengths. We need to start forming our plans, instead of just reacting to events.
I think it safe to say, we all here regard Winston Churchill as the benchmark to aim for. Well one of Winston's greatest gifts, was a rich and razor sharp wit, he used it in so many ways, not just to skewer his enemies but to raise the spirits of those around him, bld, develop those skills, which you obviously come by quite naturally, and you will aquit yourself well.
And lastly, just because they look like idiots, dress like idiots, and behave like idiots, do not be fooled, they are devilishly cunning, don't underestimate them, but yes, their weak spot is their inability to handle humour. Hey, maybe we can call it the humourous war, or wars of humour, or some such, anything but this bland meaningless 'war on terror', think on something which could also poke fun at our 4th estate. The little snakes are lacking in that department to.
Incidentaly bld, marks & sparks may be fine for the average, but they ain't LaPerla, cause they're definately the Rich man's phantasy palace, it's a differnt world, and the prices are astro...maybe I'd better shut up.
"Is that the latest from Donna Koran?" That's a good one. However, as a woman, I must admit that running after fashion becomes tiring and tiresome at times, and the simplicity of the hijab might be a welcome change, but, and there always is a but.
But, I would demand to make the choice to make or discard fashion changes. The problem with veiling is that there is no choice as once the veil is adopted, social and religious expectations limit that choice, often with violent repercussions.
I am aghast to learn that some women in the West are forced to put on the veil in order to protect themselves from the unwanted advances of Muslim men. The lack of responsible self-control in Islam for both men and women is sore point for me. One shouldn't have to wear hijab or see women veiled in burqas to know and follow acceptable, responsible bounds of behavior, making clothing a crutch and an excuse for either virtue or licentiousness. The raimnents of virtue are in the heart and not on the body. One also has to remember that the most potent aphrodisiac is the human imagination as men wonder about and can't wait to find out what is under those robes

Chanel, I think! :-)

That one? I don't quite follow you.

I still don't know quite what you mean. I was talking about dreams. How can those inflame someone's feelings? Or am I simply being obtuse?

I wonder if members of the Saudi royalty dress this way when they go to Paris and New York shopping?
VERY good question, UIP!

Whoops
should be "freeing women from the clutches of domineering men"

Thanks for that clarification.
