International Bow Day

Interesting history here. We are not talking about bows that shoot arrows...rather the kind that people wear.

During the 18th century, men primarily wore bows. However, as fashion trends changed, women began to wear the accessory, too. They chose a variety of fabrics, styles, sizes to compliment their wardrobe. Throughout the generations, bows continue to maintain their fashion power. While they never went out of style, designs and place dictated the fashion trends.

I'm guessing that most men on this board don't wear bows - or even bow ties. But maybe some very early Dawgs did!

It's also National Aviation Day. Hat's off to Wilbur and Orville and many other pioneers of the skies. Hard to imagine life without flight.

    The gap between the spoken and written word is a funny thing. I thought I was going to get to make my second Karate Kid reference in a week in this thread.

    The changes in which gender used a thing over time are always interesting, see also:

    High heels

    The color pink

    The name Ashley


    All of these used to be male only/extremely masculine.
