I haven't posted my comments here yet. I wasn't even aware of the scarf until this latest uprising about it. It is a paisley print. The "official" pattern of the Palestinian head dress is a herringbone pattern.

Years ago, the youth in our church did a Christmas play in church. One member of the congregation was a travel agent and did a lot of Holy Land tours. He helped with the pagent and used a couple of scarves he had brought back. One was the official Palestinian head scarf. I was outraged and let him know and our priest know exactly what it was and what it meant. It's distinctive. He said he'd bought it in Jerusalem in a market and didn't know what it meant. BS, he knew. They did dump the head scarf as my two boys were in the pagent and I threatened to pull them out if they insisted on using it.

I'm actually glad that we are finally turning the tide here with our outrage. It's usually on the other foot. Don't make the terrorists angry, LOL. Ms. Tieger's scarf does look like the Palestinian one, Rachel ray's does not.

Right on right on. :clap:

Well, I am no fashion expert. My idea of a good look is jeans and a sweater, jeans and a t-shirt, capri jeans, and well you get the picture.

I have watched 30 minute meals for years and never have seen RR wear any scarfs. Besides that I did have some scarfs like that in the late sixties, early seventies...are they back in style.

Thirdly, maybe a wardrobe person put that on her, because it is not usually something she would wear...that alone makes me well.............curious...LOL

Hey, I thought I told you to STAY OUT OF MY CLOSET!!!!! Being on a farm/ranch, this is standard clothing. Going through the winter sweaters now to stash them away until fall. The T-shirts are being put in the dresser drawers for easy access. I do have some dressier wear, but sorting through winter and summer boots to make room is driving me crazy. I need to also get my sandals sorted out also. Those I wear to town and those around the house.

I drove into town one day and about got whiplash. No one ever dresses up here in the country. There were two young gals dressed up to go clubbing. They stood out like pork chops at a Bar Mitzvah...LOL
BG I understand about the sandals. I usually prefer barefoot, but I will wear sandals to town. One day I forgot and one my slippers. Not one person seemed to notice:blowkiss:

 

[Mygirlsadie]

To me the scarf looks like a dish cloth anyway. I have about 20 of them in my kitchen drawer.

 

[amynrich]

I'm fairly new to posting so be easy on me . But honestly I thought the scarf wasnt anything but an accesory. Mind you I watch her show from time to time and think certain things she does/says annoying. But seriously do we really need in this day and age to pick apart everything?!?

Well, you apparantly live in, either (let me guess) Vail, Aspen, Telluride, Breckenridge, pick one. Would the Cruel Girl jeans do I got on sale work there? How about the bling bling belt I splurged on? I do wear my good Ariats for dress only, and a couple of really nice expensive shirt. Those are my dress casual. I usually wear the stained T-shirt and torn jeans around. I really can't go barefoot in the house, cause between the BarnGod and the dogs, I have a carpet constantly full of goatheads (OUCH!!). I did pick up some brand new Bjorn sandals at the second hand store for dress. Yep, I can fit in in Aspen for casual chic, but I need to lose about an inch to get those Cruel Girl's to button comfortably.

I love scarves. I have a number of them, including one from my grandmother that is black raw silk with fringe. Right now it's very fragile due to age. My sis sends me great scarves all the time. If the scarf was innocent, and I believe it is, then a simple photo of the paisly print of the open scarf will show the truth. I just dislike the flaunting of the Palestinian head scarf. It's in your face and to some Jews it's like wearing a swastika on your sleeve.

Well, discussing Brittany or Paris' latest shenanigans might be more important to some people.

Not to me.

No I live in a little town by the Arkansas river. All the locals think that people are trying to make this into an Aspen/Vail, ect. This place was voted one of the 10 best cities for Baby Boomers to retire in. I had never heard of it but one day I read an article, came to visit, fell in love with it and retired here.

You know I felt the same way about the scarf. I honestly find it a bit strange, as I said earlier, because of the fact that RR NEVER wears stuff like that. I still wonder if some producer with an agenda put it on her????

 

[amynrich]

Its not about Brittany or Paris or whoever...its what about I guess oh hmm should I wear this..Ohh wait it means this or that I shouldnt wear that. I mean come on..

Ok, so you wear your swastika and I'll wear my Confederate battle flag and we'll go hang out.

When do you not get dressed and wonder what you should or shouldn't wear?

Do you wear a leather mini to your office? Sweat pants?

It's about wearing what's appropriate for your geography and your situation.

That's hilarious, Mygirlsadie.
I have a few myself...

Welcome to WS, amy!!!

 

[BhamMama]

Stylish and hip? mmmmmyeah...she should pair leg warmers with a pair of booty shorts. I know I always wear a scarf with a short sleeved, lowish cut shirt.

"looks nothing like what they say it does?"

I posted a link earlier to other "scarves". You should check it out.

See, that was my first thought, not that it was a symbol of anything, but who in their right minds let that child walk around with a scarf wearing a short sleeved shirt?

I still don't care about the symbols. I'm a Native woman with red hair who goes to a Jewish temple wearing a Salwar Kameez. And yes, I cover my head with a sal, some days out in public, some days only at Temple.

I've never, ever had anyone say anything, make fun or tell me or say I'm an idiot because I choose to wear something they would not. And if they did I'd not say anything. It's MY choice.

Maybe it's because I live in an area where folks can dress up like angels with wings and tell you the end of the world is coming while holding foam tombstones, or paint themselves silver, slap on a cowboy hat and earn money in the street, or think they are the worlds next greatest vampire by wearing velvet cloaks and bouncing bar....folks just don't care what you wear.

Where was the picture taken? It looks an awful lot like Washington D.C. area though I was only there once. Does this have anything to do with the scarf and a political statement.
I thought this whole deal was stupid too until seeing where the picture seems to be taken. Anyone know? It looks familiar.

 

[Truly]

(pardon me while I don my Confederate battle flag baseball cap, to wear with my Obama = Curious George tshirt)

See, now, that is just plain ugly and racist. Why not just wear something celebrating something you support instead? If you wore a pro-McCain (or whatever) shirt, nobody would care. Why would anyone want to be all nasty and racist? Yuck.

A handful of people here seem intent on expressing hateful racist ideas. I don't know why. If it is a story about African-Americans, I see the same people yelling '' or 'gangster'. If it is a story about Hispanic-Americans, some people are blatantly hostile and determinedly racist even when the person is a victim of a horrible crime. Racism is honestly worse than the crime of murder, because it is insidious and carries hatred on down through generations. It is un-American at it's core.

Who is anyone to decide what a person in America should wear or what political ideas they ought to express? In America, we are free to decide for ourselves what to wear and who we support. There are many people here who are pro-Jewish, yet abhor how the State of Israel has treated the Palestinian people. Not everybody buys into the right-wing, hate-radio version of international affairs. In America, there is room for all opinions. Wouldn't you agree?

Who cares what a person in America wears? I was once with a group of friends, and some idiot (who thought he had the right to tell other Americans how to dress) started giving one of my friends grief about his red converse high-tops with his cut-off jeans swim trunks and his brightly-colored T-shirt.

The ignorant man snuffed and huffed and said, 'What's that, the costume of your native country?'

My friend responded, 'Yes. That's right. I'm an American. I can wear whatever I want.'

Ha!

It's so funny how the same article of clothing can be construed so differently! The kids often wear kaffiyehs in the Christmas pageant at my church. It's a garment common to shepherds around the Bethlehem area to this day. I think it's nice for a simple piece of clothing to demonstrate a thread that ties the centuries together,
