Aunty's compatriots find NZ a drag

Lawyer Rob Moodie turned heads at the High Court in Wellington yesterday when he arrived dressed in a skirt and asked to be called Ms Alice. He wore a navy blue two-piece suit, with ankle-length skirt, patterned blouse and a diamond-studded brooch. Lace-gartered stockings covered his legs. He carried a handbag.

Can a navy blue two-piece suit with an ankle-length skirt be seen as a blue gown? If so, maybe the court should sing:

In my sweet little Alice blue gown, When I first wander'd down into town I was both proud and shy, As I felt ev'ry eye, But in ev'ry shop window I'd primp, passing by Then in a manner of fashion I'd frown And the world seemed to smile all around, Till it wilted I wore it, I'll always adore it, My sweet little Alice blue gown.

wearing a diamond studded brooch into court is not correct behaviour for a lawyer rather something a defendent who shot her husband would wear !!

and a handbag ??..today's modern woman would always carry a briefcase !!

Ms Alice is in need of couture lesssons.

Ankle lengh skirt suit?? Is this de rigueur in New Zealand? It is like a sack my great Aunt Miriam would wear. I agree a diamond brooch is all wrong,wrong, wrong. Poor thing and her very first outing, all dressed up like Hinge and Bracket.

I agree totally with you Pearl. But then really what can one expect from a man who, when he was the head of the Police Union in New Zealand, would wear to work Roman sandals with his kaftan!

Belive me Cedric my boy, if you'd ever seen Bob Moody you'd be worshiping the day that ankle length skirts were invented! What a pity the man's not fond of the burqha.

Roroarrr!!! Now that gets me going. I love a good burqha, it suits madam well, especially the ones with that little leather bit that goes over the nose and mouth like a muzzle.
Am I misogynistic?
No pictures of the upstanding Bob Moody in full regalia?
