Sunday Focus: Clothes

From New York City to Dadeville Alabama, clothes are under assault.

     The Big Apple is fighting men and women who have taken off their clothes and appearing in Times Square with just paint on, charging tourists to have their photos taken.

     In Dadeville Alabama, a ban on mini-skirts is under consideration---equal treatment for woman in a town where sagging pants have already been outlawed for men.
     Sagging pants were also made illegal in Selma, Alabama.
     In 2007, a Louisianna teen went to court against an ordinance there.




     And as NPR reported, this is just another chapter in a long history of "illegal" clothes. Including "Zoot Suits", which caused riots in the post-WWII Era.

  1. My pants sag, but that's an "unintended consequence" of losing weight!

    Suspenders for this old man now.
