One of the advantages of living in the tropics is that my breasts can "protrude exuberantly" whenever they feel like it, all year round. Heh.

The article fails to address an equally important, related issue: the viability of shorts as a clothing option and the resulting exposure of leg. Not to mention the traffic hazards exacerbated by these phenomena.

Ha, that is so dead-on about the real meaning of today's fashion choices. I'm surprised they didn't work in any references to the baring of midriffs, which is becoming nearly as important.

Would the traffic hazards from leg exposure be the result of viewers not having seen publicly-bare skin for months, or the resulting blinding glare off of pale, sun-deprived legs (from the melanin-challenged)?

Avogadro: Yes.

Avogadro: you like your women with a tan. That's fine, lots of guys do. But I prefer my skin non-cancerous. I would hate to think that I'm causing some sort of traffic hazard by wearing shorts.

Spring, another season to annoy you.

Ok, tiaka, you got me. That was a little pissy. I guess I'm a bit sensitive about it.

Forget the shorts . . . miniskirts, man, miniskirts! (gratuitous testosterone post.)

Crosswise purse straps are dangerously distracting.
