Dear EvilSadamClone,
I absolutely second your bewilderment. Certainly I understand what the clothing alludes to, and I must admit that when used adequately, those items
can be .. effective. But they must be quite uncomfortable. The tube tops seem to fit nicely, but anything snagging on to it might pull it down,
including kids monkeying around and scary strangers .. monkeying around. Scary thought. Bare shoulders also will get chilly faster than covered
shoulders, of course. Come to think of that: how about all those girls & women wearing short skirts? Perhaps not as prevalent in warmer places but
here in northen Europe those are worn into temperatures well below what I'd think is the comfort zone (15C / 59F and bare knees & thighs? eek!).
The biggest mystery to me are the high heels. I don't think I'll ever truly understand why women go through - simply put - the
torture of
wearing such things. Again, they certainly affect me positively in a visual sense and I can imagine women having the urge to wear them; but their feet
must be agreeing with me.. Stuffed in an awkward angle into a container that tapers into an unnatural sharp point (usually), chafing on places that
your feet aren't used to (at first anyway), sometimes bleeding.. A misstep could mean a twisted ankle. It's not Chinese foot-binding for sure, but
it's just weird to me that people are doing this voluntarily. Considering how many ways there are to be sexy, is the reward really worth the pain and
suffering?
(I apologize for any possible insensitivity in this post. No idea whether there's any in there, but I confide in you to tell me if there is.)
