Wearing a crucifix

[Kyuuketsuki]

Ah, a "responsible" spouse. I've got me one of those. I can have the FSM on the back of my vehicle, because my mother-in-law doesn't know what it means. But I just can't seem to get the Darwin fish screwing the JEHOVAH fish onto my car without my husband refusing to take my car places. Perhaps it's a bit of a leftover from my angsty religion-hating years.

LOL ... probably

Also, because I'm fashion illiterate... why is wearing a cross a "fashion statement". What statement is one making, by wearing a cross?

Well for me fashion was always a way of making a statement, for most of my younger (now fairly distant) years it was "I'm an individual" (just like a million others, LOL) as well as saying I can dress better than *you* (people who weren't as fashionable) and still do it on a budget so better than *them* (the vapid "in-crowd" whose sole preoccupation seemed to be doing the right thing, saying the right-thing and looking the right way whilst doing them. As a proud member of what we called "the not-s-in-crowd) we could dress-the-dress, walk,-the-walk & talk-the-talk but spent most of our time taking the piss outta them. Ah! Those were the days, happy memories, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll (though not enough sex and it was punk rather than rock) and the wimin were just plain awesome.

Now I'm 50 plus and to some degree I am still sticking one finger up to all that's supposedly good and wholesome (at least those things that are accepted as such without good reason), an upside-down cross does tend to "challenge" some people a little and it fits in well with my current mode of dress which is black, lots of leather and somewhat intimidating (in a don't f*** with me kinda sense).

In a sense it kinda makes that same, "I'm a rebel" statement I've always made.
