Out Motoring Girly Love

Doesn't anyone think this is just a little offensive to our female owners? Come on Out Motoring, Girly? How about one for Motoring Out Boy Love?

:: Out Motoring :: Girly Love
It's pink. It has a MINI on it. It has hearts on it.

It's $9.95

The OutMotoring Girly Love Tshirt:

What about this shirt do you find offensive? This is the first that I've seen it, but was thinking that one of my female co-workers would love it.

I'm ok with the shirt...it's the use of the word "girly". Generally offensive and vaguely child pornographic.

Gotcha, then you should probably stay away from Motoring Chix (another vendor here), i think she has a whole Go Girly collection.

On a side note, I never really liked Sparkling Silver until I saw your gallery

I've been out OutMotoring. I've also heard "girly/girlie" used widely without any double meaning implied. It means young, hip, feminine. Nothing else.

Kinda have to agree with you. I associate "girly girl" as a very feminine woman, as opposed to a "tom boyish". My mind doesn't go anywhere near pornographic......well, except for imagining legs!!!

I DO offer the "Go Girly or Go Home" brand! And I can't wait to add one of OutMotoring's Girly T's to my personal collection--love it!!

I see that shirt in BGWC's collection in the near future.

Child ****? Unless there was a full length shot of a child model wearing only the shirt, I don't see it.

hmmm, something tells me that a mens shirt with a heart of any type and any color near pink would be a bit of a hard sell....

I have a mens version of the shirt that we will release in about 1 weeks that has the same front view image with the tagline "it's not cute. it's mean." only on a grey shirt with black ink...

will that work?

Can you add a football and maybe a gun or a beer, or all three?

Cabrio.. dead deer.

Am I the only one here who's gone deer hunting in there convertible before?

Last year my Grand Cherokee broke down during Bow season. Not one to give up
a day's hunting, I jumped in my Mazda RX7 convertible, and into the woods I went.

(Unfortunately, I didn't have any luck that day. If I had, my plan was to buckle
Bambi in for the ride back to Charleston, top down, 2 1/2 hours away )

'girly' = offensive? You might be too old. It's common to hear 'hey girly!' among young friends these days. www.girliegirlracing.com... women in an historically and exclusively male dominated field

Well I'm only 24, so maybe you're the one that's too old. Our generation thinks it's a little weird for grown women to consider themselves Girlie, unless you are Eliot Spitzer friend then for $4700 you can call her anything you want.

I have a mens version of the shirt that we will release in about 1 weeks that has the same front view image with the tagline "it's not cute. it's mean." only on a grey shirt with black ink...

Add a photo of Hillary!

you are only 24? I thought I saw you at the last MoS breakfast....do you have a daughter? You appeared to be more like late 30's, early 40's, but perhaps it was the wrong modded sparkling silver R56 I was admiring.

Now that would be a sight to see!
