Out on a dike

Out on a dike phr. [mid 19-C] (US) going out in one's best clothes. [DIKED DOWN] I'm out as a dyke, occasionally out with a dyke. What I do when I'm out on a dike can become your business once I write about it here.

This is Out on a dike. I had no choice but to find out my fashion era.

I took the "Retro Runway" quiz on gURL.com
		My fashion is inspired by... the '20s Are you more tomboy than full out fashionista? Do you have a favorite pair of jeans that factor into every outfit? If so, the 1920s is the era for you. Known for shortened hemlines, wild times and a rebellious freedom, this decade shook up many general assumptions about gender. Read more... Which fashion era do you belong in?

That's reassuring. Anything else and I would have needed to appeal!

Methinks Sir Hastie may be addicted to the polls over at GURL!

I think you could be right, Julie!

It clearly also pays to know your addiction!!

Oh, I was 1930s. I do actually favour the 1930s when it comes to furniture, but not clothes so much. I think. Apart from shoes maybe.

Hi Kellie,

Were you hoping for a different outcome? Does this mean you'll have to work your way through all the dress patterns from the 1930s to the 1960s now?
