Holy Joe and Naughty Panties

I’m back from Salt Lake. We luckily slept through the windstorm that affected Kat at Brianhead. The funniest thing that I saw while in Salt Lake was at a mall.

There was a demure store called Dressed in White that sold frumpy looking Mormon temple garments. These are different from the sacred long johns, and as such can be sold in a retail environment in which the damned may window shop along with the Latter-Day Saints. I looked at a series of temple garments in varying degrees of modesty (Think: burqas for white people) until the lady behind the counter looked at me oddly. I scooted out of the store before she could talk to me about Holy Joe and hid in the next storefront...

....Victoria’s Secret.

I had to chuckle. I ran from an underwear shop where the culture doesn’t fit me into an underwear shop where the thongs don’t fit me.

Next up: Nipples!

I do feel that churches are a little bit like underwear, but I draw the line when churches regulate my underwear. :)

I think that it would weird me out going to church with everyone dressed in white like that. In all seriousness. But, if I had to, I'd choose to sport the Ginger skirt & blouse.

Mormon readers: What's the significance of the satin envelopes? What do you use them for?

the men keep their baker's hats and aprons in there. the women keep their veils and aprons in there.

also, they don't wear all white when they go to church. just when they go to the temple to do their rituals, like baptizing dead people and marrying dead people.

John, that should definitely NOT be next to a Victoria's Secret.
