Green Fields of France

War is so glorious y'all.....



Green Fields of France is my favorite anti-war song....






Please don't forget the troops dying.
45 in July and already 40 in August...there will never be enough bodies for Afghanistan.

Girl Crush

What can I say?
I have a girl crush on Lara Logan:

Support The Troops?

Jon Stewart hit it out of the park last night regarding the difference between saying you support the troops and actually supporting the troops.

Memorial Day 2008

I was going to write a post, but Kim already did, she said it better then I would have.

Support The Troops, Support The New GI Bill

The Campaign For A New GI Bill

And please let them keep their porn.*
K?


*Porn is dehumanizing but war is not?......Really this just shows how morally bankrupt fundi Repugs are.

RIP

You know, I'd like to make this blog just about vintage clothes.
I'd like to just discuss fun stuff....lots of people do.
I'd like to not piss off potential customers.
Really I would.

But I just can't.
Everyday, in my name as an American citizen, more people die.
Solders die.
Civilians die.

And everyday the Bush administration sounds more and more like the Johnson administration during Vietnam.
They are lying to us and they are wrapping the American people in the flag and patriotism and "supporting the troops" that we will not see what a mess Iraq has become.
The press is complicit in this.
Where is the nightly body count? (for those too young I can remember watching it go up on the nightly news as a child during Vietnam.)
Where are the pictures of the flag draped coffins? (who cares what the Bush administration says. Only by showing their sacrifice to we actually honor and support our troops.)
Where is the outrage that the lives given are not being acknowledged or honored.

So from now on, amongst the fun stuff and the great vintage I'll be including the casualty count for both the military and civilians at the top of the page in the right hand corner.

• American Military Casualties in Iraq: 3,387 as of 5/10/07

• Civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq: 63,373 min.

I'll try to honor the fallen by at least making sure we know their names each week.

In WW2 the sacrifice was spread all around. Rationing, even in fashion, was an everyday sacrifice made by everyone. Now there are huge sacrifices being made by just a few while the rest of us go on as before. War is not fun and it is time that we Americans stop and think about what is being done in our names.

I hope this will not make me loose any customers, but if it does so be it, it is the least I can sacrifice for the sacrifice they have made.
