Title: People of Wal Mart
Post by: Tammy Hope on October 25, 2009, 02:38:28 AM
You guys seen this site? It's fascinating, humorous, and more than a little horrifying all at once.

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ (http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/)

With over 300 pics posted, I don't know where to start.

I don't always agree with the choices - for instance, to me, there's not THAT much humor in someone who's clearly in costume stopping at the store without having changed. also, I think sometimes his standard for when shorts are too short is a bit too strict but even ruling those out....man oh man!!

The fascinating thing to me is how many of these pics are of men in some sort of "gender inappropriate" clothing without - clearly - having made a full effort to complete the image.

For instance, there's one nicely dressed...man? woman?...except for the fact that s/he has a full beard.

Then there's this guy, your typical little old man who just so happens to have, as David Kieth would say, "bodacious tatas":

I understand when physically you just have real difficulty pulling it off but you gotta be yourself, but most of these - like this one:

Don't even seem to be trying. I counted over 15 examples not counting borderline cases and those of uncertain gender and one pic I'm certain was photoshopped.

the only one that I thought was at least in the ballpark was this one-

A nice wig would have really helped there.

Don't get me wrong, there is much to mock besides crossdressers here, some of the cars are particularly funny, I just kind of picked up on the gender stuff for obvious reasons.

Is this what people mean by "genderqueer"?

I don't really even see the "point" of those pics, they cause no reaction in me.
I do cringe at the 275 lbs ppl in extremely tight spandex however.
