I thought this would be kind of intersting start a string about. The little tidbits of info that one may ask about clothing or toughts in general with hope that someone will be able to give a good answer to it.
Let me start by asking.
Why do female panties have there labels or tags on the side of the panties?

Silly girl, there are no seems to sew too on any of my panties except on the sides. The border seam is to thin for a tag and if they sewed the tag in the back-midle for example it may show through as a "buge" in my clothing. Less likely to show on the hips-thighs area.
Good question!!!!!
Make the most of every day!

Thank You Danielle, the thing is once you answer the question you pose anouther question for someone to answer. It does not have to do with particulare CD I just well wanted to know the answer to that question.
The idea is to get an answere then pose an question.

Okay girls I get it.
The bra info first: A B C D...
"By 1928, entrepreneur Ida Rosenthal took the bra to its next stage by introducing cup sizes and bras for all stages of a women's life. Several year's later, Warner added the A to D sizing system."
ref:
http://www.thebreastsite.com/bras/history-of-bras.aspx
The shirt placket/button difference:
The Greek and Roman men and women wore an item called a "Toga." The men would drape their toga over one shoulder while the women would drape and expose the opposite shoulder to show that they bore no arms (a blade in many forms).
Thus a means to identify the two sexes via clothing.
In the early 1900's women went from a gathered shirt-waist device, to an independent skirt and blouse. Men also to this day wear a blouse. The U.S. Navy refers to officers white dress shirts as a "blouse."
So, to keep with history, in the early 1900's, society accepted the reversed placket/button method to distinguish between the two sexes.
Another point of view. A right-handed man places his finger on the button, while placing his left hand on the button hole, pushing the button to the left into the hole of a man's shirt/blouse.
Face a women's blouse on a hanger or your SO and begin to button the blouse. A right-handed man will place his right hand on the button, his left hand on the hole and push the button toward his left into the hole to button the blouse. Try doing it by reverse and you will see perhaps the artisians thought that it was easier for a man to button the back of the dress if it were reversed for a right-handed man?
Or the front of the dress if me-lady is otherwise occupied with other matters.
Question:
Why can't we just take a pill and do away with shaving our male facial hair?

A}Well because it would remove all hair in/on the body. We need certain hairs to both smell and hear.
Q} When did the leotard go from being a mans clothing item to being a womans clothing item? Considering it was invented by a man from himself.
Something to ponder.

Not behind door number three!
Men's facial hair is constructed differently from any other hair on the human male body. Specifically, it is directly related to and stimulated by male hormones. The same hormones that are derived from the testicular area. Several compounds were tested by an independent testing laboratory to Roche Pharmacutical Company in the 80's. In each case, testosterone levels were effected and so was the production of sperm and male "sex drive." Oops! Do not want to fool around with that!
Men still wear leotards in "dance" and other related art forms. Also, there are now "leotards" with velcroed fronts for men in several "Winter" catalogues. Yes, they refer to them by other names but hey, they are what they are. One leg at a time!
Q.: Why does our society (USA) place such a high value on a woman's appearance rather than her mental capacity to accomplish tasks?

Not to answer a question with a question, but isn't it true the other way around too? I kindly present our 40th president as possible example.
To answer your question, I suppose it is an inbred trait which exists to ensure the survival of the human species. In order to ensure that humans reproduces, we have "urges" that are triggered by, among other things, the appearance of the opposite sex. Since we have since been conditioned to take this as a "positive" trait, we let it cloud our judgement when it comes to non-sex related decisions.
Agree?

Re: http://histclo.hispeed.com/var/w/glossw.html
Throughout western history wigs have come and gone from fashion, but it is undeniably the 18th century that was the golden age of male wig wearing. In the second half of the prior century wigs had entered into court fashion in both England and France. In the early years of the 18th century the Full Bottomed Periwig reigned with its cascade of curls. As the century progressed, the proportion of the wig generally decreased and the variety of fashionable forms expanded greatly. By mid century wig wearing was available to most levels of society for the individuals who chose to do so. While certain styles of wigs became associated with particular professionals; the vast majority of wigs had no particular connotations. Made of human, horse, goat, or yak hair, the choice of material and styles changed constantly with fashion and personal preferences. Wigs are not today associated with boys or even men, but in the 18th century men wore wigs and boys from welthy familes might also wear them. While wigs were primarily worn by adults, boys did also wear wigs on occassion. There was a class element involved because of the cost. Boys from affluent families were much more likely to wear wigs. If a boy did not wear a wig, for formal occassions his hair might be dressed with curling irons, powdered, and even pomade added. In the closing decade of the century the wearing of wigs was less common amongst the young and fashionable sort, although some conservatives continued to wear wigs into the 19th century.
Sorry girls, I thought that this was such a good answer I could not resist in providing it or the reference.
Q: When did the first front-closing bra appear in the USA and whom was the manufacturer? Not a corset please just a 20th century over-the-shoulder boulder holder bra. Oh my gosh I am funny tonight!!!!

It has been a while sinse any one has posted any addtion to this post as Danielle La Belle question is a little hard, for me at least, to answer I have anouther question and I think this applies to everyone.
Why does the hair on your legs arms and some cases such as my self chest and in other peoples back grow to a certain length and the hair on our head keeps growing?
PHEW (long question)

This is a wild guess but it will make some sense. The hair on the rest of our bodies as in legs and arms only grows to a certain length because it goes back to our genetic code due to the fact that we are apes, and apes hair does not grow very long. As for head hair I thing it is still genetic but much later on the genetic history of man. Where as the longer hair on the head is sexy so it must be driven by a primal drive.
Why is it the fashon from the past seem to make a come back? When do you think the 80's fashon will come back?
