My Oregon is getting stranger and weirder by the day.

Unless that meeting was at a pool, the mayor wasn't dressed appropriately. If that woman hadn't filed the complaint, I'm sure the dress code would be ignored more often.

 

[boonesmom]

oh i agree--what really gets to me is that the mayor is a transgender and would show up dressed like that. maybe i am just getting old but this just is too weird for me.

Some people just go looking for a fight.

LOL Well, I was trying to be 21st century about that. Personally, I think the mayor was flaunting his/her transagener-ness. Maybe he/she was hoping someone would complain so he/she could scream discrimination. Gad, I hate that I think like that! For the record- I have no problem with the mayor showing up in a dress/skirt and heels. It's the type of skirt that I think was inappropriate.

eta- I'm betting this town isn't too far from Portland, is it?

 

[boonesmom]

no it's not. and it is just a little burg of a place. i always thought it was quite conservative and also, a catholic abbey is not too far away....

Wow! That story really reminded me of things Ken told me about Portland (he was out there for work a few years ago). Which also reminded me of Woodstock, NY.

one of portland's favorite mottos is--"keep portland weird" you will see it on bumper stickers, signs, etc. i have lived here my whole life but thankfully moved to the burbs about 24 years ago. don't get into portland too often and when we do, we are happy to leave.

You know what I love is the video that goes along with it. You see him from afar and you can't really tell, then they do a close up and your like "Oh that's a dude!". BWAHHAHAA... Ya have to love Oregon!

 

[BigBrownDog]

Not a lot of actual women that age would have the balls to wear that get up. I wonder if he/she owns a mirror.

 

[boonesmom]

I haven't seen the video--how could I have missed that ?

 

[boonesmom]

He is one ugly woman and I don't think he was handsome as a guy either !!! LOL

Or not! I agree Joann, this is a little too weird for me! I don't care that he is transgender, or gay, Bi, heterosexual, or anything else, the dress was not appropriate for the meeting! I love alot of things about Oregon, the Ocean, the mountains, the rivers etc.. The rain and the politics, not so much- I need to move to Eastern Oregon, Central Oregon, or maybe Burns!!

 

[boonesmom]

how about silverton, di ? i'm with you and i am ready to move to central oregon. nice piece of property, little cabin and peace & quiet.

 

[Wendy]

Give a few more years and Oregon will be just like California, budget in the dumper big time. Ted Tax&gougeme is going to make sure of it.

I think I'll pass on silverton!

 

[amazongold]

That s/he is really ugly, and that outfit was certainly not appropriate for any sort of business meeting, much less one with children!

 

[Buckyball]

LOL I agree! HAHA!

hmm that outfit was not appropriate for any kind of professional setting especially for a public servant visiting children (no matter how hot the day).

She could have worn a nice cotton sundress and kept herself cool and presentable!!! That outfit is totally something one would wear in the evening while bar hopping around!
