Women of Paris, Hand Over Your Trousers!!!

Yes, all women of Paris, it is still FORBIDDEN for you to wear trousers in public (unless riding a bicycle or a horse) according to a law that was enacted in 1800 and still stands to this day.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/f...-in-Paris.html

The rule banning women from dressing like men – namely by wearing trousers - was first introduced in 1800 by Paris' police chief and has survived repeated attempts to repeal it.

I predict this law will remain in effect until Zelda reads this. Then it is doomed.

That is awful - how sexist. Those Europeans need sensible laws such as :

"If you are wearing a suit of armour, it is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament."

Now you know why you so rarely see people wearing armour in Westminster these days

Hmmmm maybe we should issue armour to all elected politicians.................

technically, i *was* in compliance all day today, until i came home and changed into some "lounging around the house in cold weather" clothes. i won't tell if you don't.

I just want to let everyone know that not all of France is as backwards as Paris. Their is motel in Nantes that gives customers the chance to live like a hamster for a day, with a room featuring bales of straw and a giant wheel to exercise in.

Sounds like a nice place for a meetup!

Ahem. (doggie clears throat) Um, in an attempt to comply with The Queen's directive, will all the ladies in The Llounge please now remove your trousers? And, well, I guess to be fair to all genders and persuasions, all you guys should please follow suit. Please. Me? I'm always buck nekkid, at least at heart.
