Anna sends me a link to this site where the undoubtedly RHETORICAL question of “pockets: hot or not?” is being asked.
The blogger (who, I think, is also named Erin, in some bizzarro-world faceoff of Pockets!Erin vs. No-Pockets!Erin) says:
But they [pockets] defy the very purpose of dresses, that is, to make you feel pretty and girly. Jamming your hands deep in the pockets of a dress does nothing for your shape (think hunched shoulders, stumpy arms and two big wads of fabric adding unnecessary bulk to your hips).
Needless to say, I disagree. I think what defies the very purpose of dresses (which is to make you feel delighted & a lot of like yourself) is having to haul along a gigantic carry bag: think lopsided leaning, aching arms, and a huge goiter of a bag adding unnecessary bulk to your everywhere.
I also don’t think women must have to decide between having a place to put a lipbalm, some ID, and their keys and looking as slim as possible. Jeez, there are worse things in life than bulk on the hips, especially when it’s evident to any individual with the sense God gave a junebug that it’s Something In Your Pocket, and not that you were delighted to See a Twinkie. (And, might I add, so what if you were, at one point, delighted to see a Twinkie? I am getting so very worn out of machinations of the Diet-Industrial complex …)
I’d say “go leave a comment” but the site is all whirligiggy with popup boxes and too lots of flashing things and whatnot, so don’t bother. You can comment here, I don’t mind.
[Thanks to Dara for sending the picture!]
