...maybe it's a case of when in Rome, do as the romans do, but in this case it concerns clothing. And as Moira says not that Eddie's choice in clothing right now has anything to do with gender, but an appropriate style for the situation he's in. I always wear long trousers for fieldwork, anything else would be impractical, and maybe that's what Eddie is doing, he's focused on the work and the gender is irrelevant to the work so the focus has been pulled away from it.... -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

Howdy moira, spoot, and Magenta! Here's an absolutely crazy thought...tickle me silly if it's rubbish, but, humour me for just a moment. A guy in a dress...yes, that does challenge certain perceptions about society and the way things are "supposed" to be. A guy who easily wears dresses when he feels like it, who then chooses to go blokey...now there's a new mind feck. I think those of us who've been fans for some time now have come to accept that it's perfectly natural for a guy to go femme if he chooses, but seeing Eddie go bloke sends us all (okay, most) in a titter (pardon the pun). Eddie seems to be about challenging convention, including perhaps maybe the conventions even *he* sets. Just a thought. (NT) -- Taya Huntress, 15:23:54 06/26/01 Tue

Ah~~very true! (NT) -- Teri~of few words today...a bit too dreamy to be logical :o), 15:55:38 06/26/01 Tue

Belated happy b-day Teri and what picture are you dreaming about? *g* (NT) -- BZC, 19:27:39 06/26/01 Tue
- Oh! Thanks, BZC....dreaming of Eddie...in all his glory~~ (NT) -- Teri, 21:32:35 06/26/01 Tue

Hello lovelies! Well I remember last spring when he started his tour with beard and black levis and everybody was asking him, Eddie, where's the dress and he was testy and said he came out of one box, the blokey box, only to be put in another box, so he just wants to mix it up again. Well for sure he doesn't want to be cast as a TV or drag queen, not many of those roles, although he DID do that one with Matt LeBlanc. He's just this pugnacious kid standing arms akimbo, chin defiantly up with that crooked smirk on his lips! (NT) -- spoot he's so cute ya wanna squeeze him to death, er sleep, 21:48:00 06/26/01 Tue
