The sequined ones have already declared themselves neutral.

Ok now, hate to break this to ya, but i got rid of my sequined dresses a long time agao, long time ago.

Hubby thinks i am nuts asked him if he though my black dresses could be racist lol he looked at me like what the hek.

Did not tell him in the context we are talking about.

However he did look at me, and got a funny look, and said how bout putting the red dress on right now. No one is home right now. See it always gets min into trouble.
Right now i'm up for it.

You know, I've never thought of it that way. That's a hell of a good point.
