Well, how about combining the two most volatile clothing items of all, linen jeans? I have dry cleaning plastic to wrap them in so I should be ok. At least I won't take my linen shorts you all will be happy to know, even though I do have great gams.

You have to realize that I am the paradign of fashion and I can say gams all I want. Don't you every use different words or do you just stick to the same ones all the time?

Thank you, Sam. I don't know why linen would stir up such controversy, do you?<BR>Anyway, this is fun, I am so glad I found this web site.

Pearl, get lost you are a troll and one that uses old words too. Take your linen and leave already.

Pearl also likes to use the word "gal" a lot, I have a feeling. And Pearl, even though paradigm is a made-up word (like my favorite, synergy), it does have a meaning, but not the one you seem to think. Try using a dictionary once in awhile.<BR><BR>Why do so many southern women think they are quirky and fun?

Ann, I am quirky and fun once you get to know me. I am sitting here on my veranda drinking a mint julep looking at my magnolia trees, does that upset you too. Lordy me, you Northerners!! Is this southern enough for you? Oh, yes, I am reading a dictionary too, and, of course, I am in my stylish linen dress with a straw hat perched perkily on my neatly combed blond hair.<BR>Now, I have to get back to planning my Italy trip. Bye for now.

Please, if you start lumping Southern women in with morons like "Pearl" then we will have to start re-thinking the Northern ladies too!<BR>I think it is an insult to all women that anyone is even giving credence to this moron-who may also be HIHO in another life form!Ick!And most likely really a MAN.<BR>

Comrades, "Labor" Day in September is an American holiday, created, like Miller Lite, to dull the senses of the proletariat.<BR><BR>May Day, on the other hand, is the date recognised internationally as the principal occasion for celebrating the value of work and common effort in advancing human society. <BR><BR>You have nothing to lose but your chains!<BR><BR>Oh, wait, you said Linen. I thought you said Lenin. Sorry. Never mind.

Whether before or after September isn't the issue. I mean, seriously, who wears bed sheets or tablecloths?

Besides the amazingly (un)important question as to time of the year... MUCH more importantly and I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet:<BR><BR>Linen does not travel very well!! Wrinkly, easily soiled, not washable.<BR><BR>Get some new pieces - clothing in lightweight rayon, cotton, even good synthetics in mix and match prints and neutral to dark colors.<BR><BR>Sheez louise, how hard it this?

Can't believe, read more carefully. Several people referred to the fact that linen is a bad choice because it wrinkles.<BR><BR>Vlad--love ya.

She just asked about linen and you all go off on her. I am sure she knows about other material as well. I don't think it is a bad question, I live in Los Angeles and linen is still looked down on in the Fall, in some circles.

Ann,<BR><BR>Darlin you sound a wee bit jealous of the Southern women. I personally can understand why, they're a hell of a lot better than those big haired, makeup caked NE tramps that chew and crack gum with their mouths open while smoking a cigarrette.<BR><BR>BTW, ever wonder why Miss America almost always comes from the South?<BR><BR>There is a reason and its called looks, talent and class!<BR><BR>US
