Comments on: Polygamous Sect Comes Out With Clothing Line http://beyondmom.com/2008/07/polygamous-sect-comes-out-with-clothing-line/ A mommyblog (mom blog) that covers parenting, life, business, tech, current events, television, and it all somehow connects together and helps you understand me a little better!

My favorite so far is "What Peace There May Be", by <a href="www.susannabarlow.com" rel="nofollow">Susanna Barlow</a>. Her story and experience of leaving the sect of FLDS is amazing. I'm not too interested in learning a lot about the polygamist groups, but I find that this particular memoir gave polygamy a human face. I too have read a couple of memoirs.

The dresses do suggest a Little House on the Prairie nostalgia, albeit the shoulders are a bit over the top. They need to be worn with daintier shoes, however, than the group members favor. I don't think they would get far launching the hairdos, though. Sewing is big in those communities, so they probably do nice work. In a way you want to support the independence of those women, but in another, run the other way from anything having to do with their lifestyle.

There's an entrepreneurial spirit for them. There's something romantic about the prairie look, the same way there's a romance about civil-war-era gowns. I assume that people in other countries have their own outfits that evoke that sense of ancestry and whatnot. I've thought that the look could work IF everyone did it. Heck, I'd be glad to wear a nun's outfit/old order Mennonite dress (since I'm a new order Mennonite in jeans...) just for the sake of not needing to have a variety of clothes, follow styles, etc. As a plus, those dresses weren't designed with size 0s in mind. But I'd never buy from them. If I wanted those dresses, I'd go Mennonite. If. Wow. There’s an entrepreneurial spirit for them.

Just visit a little house on the prairie fan page and you'll get the jist LOL Polygamy is so awesome in theory (especially if the #2 wife does housework) but in practice...I'd think I'd kick her ass in the first week.

WOW! I've always wanted to read one but I'm afraid if you leave you're all bitter and it's going to be a one-sided account. I mean, I'm sure it's pretty kinda awful, but I also know what my exes say about ME and it's all lies, I tell you...LIES! After you get the third one, would you be willing to recommend one to start with? I have a morbid fascination with the Mormon polygamy groups. How they survive and whatnot. Hell with the horror stories the Amish have to offer (as shown to me by 20/20 - always fair and unbiased right *laugh*) the Mormons have got to have some good stuff. I always wondered what someone with my innate personality would have turned out like in an environment like that. Would I be a perfectionist polygamist wife? Would I have escaped? It's weird to think about so I don't linger on it long :) You’ve read two autobiographies? WOW!

That feeds right into my curiosity about the FLDS. I have read 2 autobiographies from women who left and I am waiting for a new one to come in the mail. I want to order a dress for Halloween! OMG!
