NEWS: Fundamentalist Fashions for the Little Lady

CULTURE: Fundamentalist Fashions for the Little Lady

A few months back, the polygamy-loving Texas sect of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made the news for all the wrong reasons - namely, when state authorities conducted a raid to "rescue" children who were allegedly being abused. A state court later ruled that the children should be returned, leading to many questions ...

Are those children safe?
Is it really healthy to force underage girls into marriage?
Where can I get one of those dresses?

Well, at least one of those questions can now be answered.

Wow.

So, if you're fixin' to marry your 14-year-old cousin and you really want her to look the part, your prayers have been answered.

You can't make this shit up, folks.


crispy is holding out for the long-awaited debut of www.amish-attire.com

This is insanity! I am so pissed that these lunatics brought these children into this world. The kids are going to be fucked up for the rest of their lives, no matter if they had been released into the care of the adoption system, or as they did, went back to the mothers....The whole situation is just fucked

How are the folks, anyway?

Oh, so you've got jokes now? You are just fucking hilarious, aren't you? I am agreeing with the fact that this is an insane and horrible situation, and you want to come at me? Why don't you add something of substance to the topic? Or better yet, go pound sand!?!? Thanks! (sorry Crispy )

What the hell are you apologizing to me for?
The article is not about the fucked up kids, it's about pretty dresses!

I am apologizing to you for the fact that for a brief moment your thread got jacked by MisterSatan's rude fucking comment, and my use of strong language within the thread. I just don't appreciate the joke....And yeah, it's not directly about the kids, but the fact that this bizarre, loony behavior exhibited by the adults/parents of these kids are going to have a lasting effect on them and I feel bad for them.

Who jacked what now?

You know, they do say that fashion is cyclical. In recent years there has been the '70s revival in pants, the 1930's swing revival, no reason there shouldn't be an 1880's revival. After all, didn't Jane Seymour prove that such items can be very sexy.

see? that was so much easier and less time consuming than what you typed. try that next time.

Vigilante justice, 16 year olds getting "knocked up" in a polygamist camp and now a fashion trend=sweet.

A thread hijacked by Stan is never a bad thing. It is more of an enhancement. Like ketchup on fries.

or coke on a whore.

I don't see anything intrinsically wrong with them selling their Laura Ingalls Wilder throwbacks to whatever yahoo wants their kids to play Little House on the Suburb. The increased interest in them caused by the scandal-happy facets of the American populace is pretty damned disturbing, but that's more a function of the buying public.

Also, "Yearning for Zion" implies a passive-aggressive presumptive knowledge of what the Heavenly All-Father should be preparing for his pawns which isn't indicative of a truly pious mindset. They really should add "rethink compound name" to their list of atrocities to be corrected. Somewhere damn well near the bottom, sure.

MisterSatan, true to form, remains good people.

The shower washtub scene in that movie was Hot!

Yes she can raise my barn, ifyouknowwhatimsayin.

Now? Lady, since you started posting, I've had material for days.

Thanks. I try.

Congratulations.

Come at you? Honey, this is the internet, not West Side Story. Buy a fucking helmet if you can't deal.

Trust me, making fun of you is adding something of substance. You've proven time and again that you not only deserve it, but are out and out asking for it. If I were you, I'd stop posting on the boards altogether, because frankly it's embarrassing for everybody involved.

The service at this restaurant is brilliant!

Rude_Ruca, you need to stop now, dear.


OT: I think one of those white dresses covered in blood would make the creepiest Halloween outfit.

I'm pretty sure if that had been around when I was a little kid that I would have been wearing those clothes. They look a lot like the kind of stuff my grandma always bought.

This made me giggle more than it probably should have.

But those dresses! I think I need one, could make for some very interesting pioneer woman gets taken by the big bad savage roleplay! My husband is even 1/2 Sioux, so this is peerrrrrfeeecctttt.

It boggles my mind that anyone would actually pay $44 for infant's clothing.

Since we are so close to the Utah/Arizona border and some of the FLDS companies do business (slave labor) in town I get a chance to catch some of those hot mamas it thier prarie garb around town every once in a while. Usually at food shows where they order mass quatities of food.

Do people still bronze baby shoes?
