Whatever happened to tube tops?

Fashion comes and goes.
For the most part, I refuse to pay attention.

A favorite, however, was the tube top.
We need to bring that one back.

Of course when I say bring that back, I mean only the ones who *should* be wearing them. Invariably the wrong ones do. (it's a nightmare at work, I swear)


But what do I know - I've got a collection of Hawaiian shirts.

I still wear a Vest with my white shirt...



I loved the Tube Top and for one would absolutely support the return..

Yet, as you said, only for those that "should" be wearing it...



Semper

Hate the tube-top. Love the corset, wish I had one.

Guys, ya have to remember, there is a fine line between sexy and skanky...

Usually crossed by those who choose to wear the "wrong" piece of clothing, for their body.

*Like, too short shorts... ahem... you guys!

You forgot to mention that "Vest" you wear is made out of Kevlar.

ahh the Tube top, a fashion nightmare!! When i wore one i spent the day pulling up the sides (Girls will know what i mean) It was just so irritating..

I think when Brittany started to wear them most of us chucked ours out! lol

Ladies, ya have to remember, guys *like* the hooker thing.

I have a real weakness for it. And big hair. Julia Roberts `Pretty Woman' big hair.

You are most tactful, Lady

Oh, I didn't know about Brittany.
(that's so sad for me)

And yes, I know about pulling sides up.
Some guys are observant


Victoria's used to carry a bunch of them in different sizes. I tried to institute Tube Top Tuesdays at work but for some reason I'm not getting too far.

I gotta go now. My weekly meeting with Human Resources is coming up.

I think they exported all the tube tops to Africa.

Every time I see pictures from over there all the women are wearing them.

In the bars I play in Lefty; around the middle of May, skin is proudly displayed in all it's feminine glory; be it tube tops, bikini tops, frilly bras and sometimes topless. May is tequila season here in the Land of Enchantment. yeehaaawwwww

LadyS.......

That does it. I'm moving.

The frost is barely gone here in May.

Keep up the good work (and send pictures).

I see tube tops all the time, though granted, they're on prostitutes walking up and down Central....

Don't be skankist!

Skanks need love, too!

I miss mini skirts and garters. Corsets are good, too.

Alright already!

I see that I'm outvoted here.

Yes! Corsets are HOT! Red leather ones paired with black leather mini skirts, fishnet stockings, and stiletto boots, pale skin, black nail polish and lipstick and long red wavy hair. Yum!
