Women's wardrobes need work

Women’s wardrobes need work

Published Feb 16, 2006

Women's fashion has never made sense to me. I'm continually amazed when I see naturally beautiful women who mangle and contort their bodies in order to fit into something "cute," all so they can impress their girlfriends.See, from what I can tell, women don't dress to make guys notice them. If they did, they'd listen to our complaints. Instead, many women participate in a daily battle to see who can be the best-looking. It's an internal war, and the victims are the men who are forced to view the disgusting ensembles worn by the combatants.

At 39, Laura Crawley's strong and slender limbs are masked behind her black leggings and rubber flip-flops. Normally a marathon runner, she had to change her workout because of a stress fracture. Fresh out of her yoga class, Crawley sat at the table, tearing her sour dough bread apart with her shivering hands. "I'm cold," she said with a quiver. A blue bandana pulled her cinnamon hair back from her cornflower blue eyes and fresh face lacking makeup. She brought her chilled fingers above her ears that contained only one gold stud to point to the gray hairs that weren't there.

All right, I have a confession to make. I like frat-daddy clothing. Honestly, the boat shoes, the khaki shorts, the Polos - minus the popped-collar (read: misguided fad) - I love it all. Now, look down. If you are currently sporting clothing similar to this, you can kindly stop reading; this won't apply to you ... today. For the rest of you, take a seat, continue reading and please, try not to let me hurt your feelings.

Published Feb 15, 2006

John Parker, a junior entrepreneurial management and finance major posed some excellent questions of TCU in his letter printed Feb. 10. I'm not an official voice for the university, but I can shed some light on a few of the issues he raised."I am very supportive of all the initiatives the university is taking to enhance the value and quality of education, but I am not benefiting from any of it - so why am I having to pay for it?" Parker said.

"Lucky me, loving you/ morning, noon and nighttime, too!"With Valentine's Day just past, I am certain several cards expressing sentiments like the one above were sent out yesterday. The message may be cute, but it is not genuine. It doesn't express the sender's feelings toward the recipient. Instead, it is the cheesy brainchild of someone who works in an office building in New York, or wherever Hallmark is based.

Baseball: Texas State slides past Frogs

Published Feb 15, 2006

The Horned Frogs were unable to sustain an early lead - or any offense - Tuesday night as TCU fell to Texas State 5-1.TCU (2-2) benefitted from shaky starting pitching and jumped out to an early 1-0 lead but fell victim to an opportunistic Texas State (2-5) offense as the game progressed. The Frogs also had no answer for the Bobcats' bullpen, and Texas State pitchers retired the last 19 TCU batters.

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle said the team was simply outplayed.

"I thought their pitchers pitched better than ours," Schlossnagle said. "We hit balls right to them."
