Michelle Malkin has this story about the demise of positive role models for young girls in popular culture (see, e.g., ”Bratz”), and of Charlotte Church in particular.  For those familiar with what made Ms. Church famous in the first place – singing beautiful sacred songs and outwardly portraying the beauty of piety and modesty — this is a sad, shocking tale.  Her poor decision has led some to stop selling her earlier works (see here, scroll down to story on right hand side).      

Update: see this story on school officials trying to deal with their students’ ”free speech.”  Ugh.  Even if it kills me, my children will never see the inside of one of these schools.  The very idea that this would be a “tough problem to solve” is ridiculous, but because these are government schools the problem has been made tough.  God save us.

Ok, the comments were filling up, so I thought I’d make a new post rather than ask/respond in the comment section of the original post.  I’ve heard that the big thing in D.C. is that those who wear seersucker suits do so with black shoes and belts….I’m not too sure I like the look.  Like I said earlier, I’ve worn my in the past with brown bucks or either brown Sperry’s, sans socks.

As for Jesse, who’s getting married and sporting tan seersucker suits, I would think brown loafers would be fine, absent socks.  Thoughts?

Ok, the nice weather already has me looking forward to the day I can sport my seersucker suit. I do have a question as I’ve never stepped up to wear the white bucks with the suit, but am thinking about doing so for this coming season. Therefore, my query is 1) what color belt and 2) what about socks, i.e., color? Please advise. (Also, I think we need an “Attire” category).
