That's a pretty good suggestion. I know a bunch up in Appleton, WI decided that they wanted to wear the 'halters' that other women wore in the town. They went to some place like Wal-Mart & bought bras & when they wore them in public, they were told that they couldn't wear this sort of thing in public. I really do think they were trying to imitate the American women & that's the best they could come up with??? ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: "jkaywojack" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [KYHeritageFolklore] Re: [HS] Roll Call > You would think so.
