Overheard at Church
Working a TV camera during one of this morning's worship services, I heard a question over the headset that I don't recall ever hearing in that setting, as the switcher and director contemplated a potential shot from the remotely controlled camera mounted over the choir loft:
Fashion tip for ladies: When dressing for church, consider all the various angles at which you might be viewed.
Of course, since the directorial crew consisted of all males, the answer to the question was "no, there's no such thing."
OK, just kidding. Well, the answer was "no," but the question was asked out of an abundance of caution given the setting. The young lady in question was appropriately attired -- from every angle.
Just another item to add to the list, along with gum-poppers, nose-pickers, and sermon-sleepers.
"Smile, you're on candid camera" Ya never know do ya. It's not just cleavage but you better be careful picking your nose cause there may end up being a few thousand others watching

What time are those services, by the way?
Posted by: Jim at March 26, 2007 10:01 AMDeborah, that proves how clueless I am about fashions. I don't even remember those shorts, much less the six month period during which they were en vogue. But, I suspect that a taller-than-six-feet woman would have problems with just about all of her fashion choices.
Bob, we do our best to screen out such behavior, but sometimes the hand is quicker than the eye. ;-)
Wallace, you and Jim go stand in the corner. I, in the meantime, will discuss with our pastor a new idea I just had for outreach.

This reminds me of the early 90s, when those cute suits with "walking shorts" were all the rage and showing up everywhere. An elderly gentleman at our church thought one lady was showing entirely too much leg and insisted that the pastor speak to her about it. Instead, he spoke to me.
In defense of the woman, she was over six feet tall and her legs were stunning (as was the rest of her). I advised the pastor that the shorts would be out-of-style in less than a year, and that minding our own business would be the best thing to do.
Nothing was said, and by the end of summer, walking shorts were passe. Whew.
