You were very articulate. Thank you! <br /><br />P.S.

These lavalavas are very important as they signify womanhood. They are also given as gifts as a sign of respect. They are mostly worn and given during important events such as weddings, important gatherings and funerals. <br /><br />Your friends are right in saying that there is a time frame of 'trendiness' of the skirts. The more the glitter the more the recent. In the 80's they only used poplin and in solid colors. But the skill set back then was amazing. Women drew elaborate pictures that depicted daily happenings. Things like animals (chickens, fish) and even people and plants (coconut and breadfruit trees). <br /><br />There are many more aspects of these skirts, but it would require too much information. It was very nice to read your blog..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770998505368066036.post-74167275318368596172009-11-12T14:17:13.194-08:002009-11-12T14:17:13.194-08:00Everybody learn something new at some point...even...Everybody learn something new at some point...even I did...gender differences??HLodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623468320427160389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770998505368066036.post-24574858604610500752009-11-11T22:25:58.978-08:002009-11-11T22:25:58.978-08:00This was very informative.Many things I did not kn...This was very informative.Many things I did not know. I wear my skirt to church but not my mu mu. I guess I have to change that.<br />I also wish I could have been there to watch.
