. . . and you said a lot, Tom. It's amazing what some wear
in public nowadays. Just go to Wilmer's and be appalled.
Your words were descriptive and painted a great picture.
Your last line summed it up perfectly. Thanks for the
notes.
Thank you for sharing, Jan

    You're welcome, and deserving if it comes from me, for I am known to only say what comes to mind, never sugar coating something that is more deserving of salt. i.d.k. why I am telling you this other than even with a requisite of 150 characters, I continue to type. Goodnight.

Well I am not sure if I see a double standard here or not, as you put it
"back in your era" I have seen pictures/photos/films where on the beaches men have on only shorts, while the women seem to be near fully clothed-who is enticing who, I do understand your meaning and somewhat agree nowadays, very well written****kahpot

    What a man had to hide he did, as did women. I still believe a woman in a one piece swimsuit look more appealing than today's gals in bikinis. Less sexy, perhaps. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    This could make a wonderful story, as I believe both men and women hide their true intent, and no piece of cloth can cover that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder it is what's hidden that causes so much harm

Tight skirts were you can see the lines of her thong... no thank you!
The sexiest a woman can dress for me, blue jeans, boots and wearing a baseball cap with a pony tail out the back! The jeans go not need to be skinny jeans either.
The less the better. Call me old fashioned, I guess at 68 visions change.

Cheers to a great day.
John

    I cannot argue with your delightsome description, and the jeans cannot have holes and should be rock-washed (?) idk but as if worn when bought.

Yes, sir, you and I share the same feeling about a lot of things and especially this. Sometimes, less is definitely more. If that makes any sense. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Less certainly can be.

Aw, Tom, you may have stepped in it this time. However, I find your thoughts valid. There is a difference between dressing with class and dressing like a hooker with everything hanging out and clothes so tight that walking and sitting down is challenging. That isn't sexy; that is crass and not class.
Dressing with class can be sexy with a hint of what is inside the package. Maybe that is why that little black dress is so popular.
As for me, I am more of the Fish Monger's wife style in taste and appearance.
Best regards,
Mary

    I won't disagree but when I see celebrities walking the red carpet, I ask how soon the one button will be gone showing off their aereoles, and the slit so wide they reveal no panties at all. They are dangerously close, and I need to ask for what purpose?

Thank you, Tom. My husband is the same way. We live in a world where too much is exposed, online and in the grocery checkout line. Good grief, I am embarrassed by it, and I am a woman.

Sending you my best today as always.
Sally :))

I hear what you are saying but the fashion industry is also to blame because it is very hard to buy clothes, particularly evening wear or bathing suits with way too much showing. It is likely things will never return to the way they were when we grew up. Women these days carry their weigh in the work place and sometime make the higher salary. I've heard some say "why bother buying the pig with the sausage is free." I guess I've cheapened myself by just repeating that.

    No, the pig saying is akin to the cow and the milk. So why does the fashion industry shun modesty? Hollywood and teevee? The day will come when clothes will be shunned totally, and that will be scary. Women deserve to be adorned and a dash of modesty helps a lot.

While some women dress in a provocative manner to attract a sexual partner, I believe this line takes the argument a little too far,

"any woman who blatantly exposes herself diminishes her dignity while inflaming a guy's masculinity to promote immoral behavior."

If men cannot control their urges, that is their problem. I personally do not find a semi naked man an irresistible creature. Sometimes, in fact, the opposite.

I believe we both agree in a sensible moral code of actions.

    We do, agree. My wife is always beautiful, and wears no clothing above the knee, and no cleavage to where men can take a peek. Today, though males have been drawn to more and more exposure that many will undress a woman mentally, and that goes against marital mores which continually are degraded.

We live in an age of equality of the sexes today and a woman should be able to wear what she wants without being labelled a loose woman. I like to dress up when I go out and look my best, but I also want to feel like a woman and feel sexy, and I do not want to be judged by men who have other things on their mind.

I enjoyed your innocence here Tom in your youth, and your love of women and it is a pity that men judge women because they wear a short skirt. I would like to live in a world where women can choose to wear what they want without being judged.

Men need to take control of themselves and not believe that all women want sex just because they wear a short skirt! All too often women are blamed for rape because of what they are wearing, when it is men's lack of control of their sexual urges that are to blame.

Love Dolly x

How could I not agree with you Tom, although skirts were a little further up the leg, but below the knee with lots of very feminine petticoats, I loved those times, and look bab with fondness, the most daring thing was spin the bottle. Beautifully written Tom, blessings Roy

    Tarus is one anklebone. The plural is tarsi. It was defined in the author's notes.
