#41-Animal Print Clothing/Purses


There is one fashion trend that will never die amongst Apostolic females and that is animal print clothing.

Competition
At every big Apostolic event (congress, conference, convention, etc...) females compete viciously for the title of best dressed. More time is spent getting ready for these big events than time that is actually spent engaged in the event itself. The females may claim they are trying to look good for possible future husbands, but we know guys could really care less on how a girl dresses. The truth is, the ladies dress to outshine each other. Death stares make their way across the venues as one female declares to her friend, "can you believe she wore that outfit?" when the female in her head is really thinking "I wish I had the guts to wear what she is wearing."

And the winner for best dressed: Women dressed like leopards
But out of this clash of egotistical fashion sense is a small demographic that will be present in at least 5-10% of all females at every big event: The animal print skirt/dress/blouse.

Be it leopard print or zebra print, the females who ally themselves to such a fashion sense are truly more than most saying "I am woman hear me roar." This makes perfect sense in the competition amongst females for best dressed as what says "I will win the vicious contest of feminine superiority" than dressing up like a carnivorous animal from Africa that eats other animals for breakfast?

Sticking out when trying to blend in
If this hypothesis about the popularity of leopard print (or the less violent but still aggressive zebra print) is not correct then I am clueless as to why animal print clothing/purses is so popular....It's like the females, when picking out their outfits couldn't decide what to wear for church so their fallback is always trying to camouflage themselves into their surrounding environment not to be noticed....except the one problem is leopard print clothing camouflages itself in the African Savannah and not at church.

Credit for the idea of this blog can go to an unnamed source since I am not sure the person wants to their name to be outed.

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit  http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#280-Jeff Arnold and His "Idiot" Friends.

So basically this happened last week at Because of the Times (no, not the Kings of Leon album, but the preacher's conference that was named after the album): And by "this happened" I really mean a Jeff Arnold sermon-rant to formally announce his senility. Literally, the dude was Khrushchev slamming his shoe on a podium, a rambling Richard Sherman in a postgame interview, a conservative Michael "Shame on you Mr. Bush" Moore at the Oscars. In short, Jeff Arnold pulled a Kanye in front of anyone who matters in the UPC. And it's not like we didn't see it coming . For those who haven't been paying attention to Twitter or simply got wise enough to not really care one iota about the ongoing Reality TV tragicomedy that is the UPC, let me tell ya, you're missing a whole lot of chuckle moments. But to catch you up to speed.. here's the run-down of Mr. Arnold's sermon: -Confesses aspirations to be lauded by God as one of the greatest ...

#160-Pants

Chantell has previously covered pants from a women's perspective (more specifically pajama bottoms) . I think it's high time to present the topic of pants from a man's perspective: First off, when I realized pants have not been discussed on this blog, I immediately went into shock. And then I did what anyone would do in regards to the topic of pants amongst apostolics: I thought of a parody. I quickly envisioned a rip off of the song  "Men in Black" by Will Smith , except the hook is changed to "Here comes the men in Paaaaants..."...but then I remembered I was lazy and I would also have to manipulate the verses as well. And then I would also have to make a video. That requires work. So I gave up.  So if any youth pastor is looking to make their youth group famous on Youtube that thousands of Apostolics will end up watching, make the above video I referenced. And just send me a link to the finished product. I will put it on this blog, and the winds of...
