bridging the gap
bloody hell !!!
one wy of getting ur ph num out !
our sentiments exactly
In depth photo essay following shortly...
... and don't hold back!
I think the the antics and carry-on of the participants in the Pride Parade are a disgrace and does not do any favours to those who are suffering at the hands of bullies. A more serious and sombre march highlighting the effects of isolation and distributing leaflets about support groups etc., would be more effective and would be taken more seriously. It's such an embarassment to see people with hardly any clothes on parading themselves down our historical O'Connell Street in broad daylight, about how fu_kin great they are and how much they love fu_kin themselves. I saw the Parade once and I was mortified and I'm doubly mortified at seeing these obscene photos.
I personally couldn't careless whether people are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, agus araile, I mean it's not as if I'm thinking of fu_kin everyone I meet, yet some people have this compulsion if they are gay, lesbian, whatever your having yourself, in telling everyone in sundry, making others feel uncomfortable, when it's really nobody's business but their own. People should keep this class of a thing to themselves.
No doubt if I wandered down O'Connell Street wearing hardly any clothes at all, that laughing Cigire of An Garda Síochána would be tripping over himself in the rush to arrest me for indecent exposure!!
Good on yous, what a great Parade, best way to protest in my opinion, long live Pride!
"it's really nobody's business but their own"
Exactly , it`s only been thirteen years since what some choose to do in their in their bedroom was a criminal offence.
Oh and theres a c in fuck
Ah, you are a sad character. Why not go out, even come out? Let it all hang out. You'll feel better for it. Anyway thosands enjoyed themselves on the Pride Parade yesterday.
Dispite the rain nothing could dampen the spirits of the 2000 or so who took part.The divesrse group was well catered for with the event concluding in a free patry held on public space .Wheelchair access ,kids area and signed language to facilitate a true sence of inclusiveness for all that gathered for the after party.A much smaller event than many counterparts held over seas Dublin Pride has not yet become the commercial entity that has caused untold problems abroad,let`s hope it syays that way.

those shocking ladies and p
In the 1960s, right into the early seventies women, and girls as young as 13/14 wore 'girdles and more'. Girls were put into girdes and suspenders, nylons, heels etc and were not allowed outside the door without them on.
Aer Lingus and the airlines then had a policy that air hostesses had to be girdled.
It was expected in society that women didn't let it all hang out, as most do today.
Many boys growing up in the Sixties alongside their girdled sisters, Mums, aunts, girls, girlfriends etc loved the style which came to an end with the mini and tights about 1969/70.
As a result many men from that became transvestite or at least love to see and make love to women in girdles and stockings, vintage bras and heels etc etc.
How does society view such males? And how does society view the latest fad of girdles nade especially for men, rampant in Japan.
Do girls/women like girdles any more? We liked them back in the Sixties as they moulded our figures into much prettier proportions, though it was almost a legal requirement for us to wear them, and there was definitely an erotic appeal to them and we knew it too - it gave us girls a sense of being totally different to men, gave us a certain sense of mysterious authority - and we saw that many a boy turned gooey at the mention of the word girdle, corset, roll-on etc.
They did give us great support , they held us up, controlled us perfectly - and we didn't roll all over the path in public like a hippo when we walked. They made our tummies disappear, our hips and thighs slim. and we didn't mind them at all as we got used to them after a few months, though it was hard in hot summer weather.
But we were able to wear the most fabulous tight-fitting dresses and skirts like models and film stars - they still wear them in front of the cameras.
The biggest reason we were put into them I think was to "hide the Divide" between our buttocks and achieve a lovely figure with the fashionable "unibottom" they gave us under the tightest of dresses and costumes.
So, what do women really think - some of my school-friends hated them, but most of us got on with life, getting used to the restrictions in sitting and bending, for instance in a girdle. Certainly they made us walk more lady-like and sit up straight at school.
But they gave us that fab 'girdle hug' that I must say I enjoyed and continue to enjoy. They were too a sort of "rite-of-passage" into becoming a woman.
What do women/men think today? Am I alone in loving girdles and people who wear them
See the classic fabulous Zona the Girdle Zone for the best of girdled haute couture.
Just type Zona the Girdle Zone, hit return and you're in.
What we need in Dublin and elsewhere throughout the country is a private undercover corps of defence volunteers, preferably strong active fit men and women who would unobtrusively 'police' the streets, pubs and clubs - and move in fast to sort right-wing troublemakers and attackers out.
And with mobiles and all readily available, we could get our defenders to spots where gays and trannies are being abused - fast!
The macho Hard Chaws would soon find out that they are biting more than they can chew, and like the cowards they are, disappear when they know that they are liable at any moment to be confronted.
A camera would be usefull, these lads are very camera shy.
A gay-trannie defence blog maybe a good idea .
My comment was prophetic - with Playtex girdles now in Boyers' windows in O'Connell Street, it must be forty years ago since they were featured there last . I went in and bought some. They give me a fab figure again under jeans and skirts at my age. The saleslady told me that young girls are buying them again for Saturday Night Out.
I'm not on my own anymore, yippie :-)
