Reminds me of a Saturday Morning , down at the Couthouse--the Veterans of Hard Times--1920's and '30's --I was about 12--got out of Sat Morning Shoot Outs--(Theatre) and ambled down two blocks to "See what was going on"-

The Vets sat on benches, Whittling Cedar, trading knives, finding many solutions to problems the Gov't continued to drag out--, checkerboards--etc.

Anyway--one Sat Morning-a Pretty Little Thing walked by on the sidewalk, most Kept 'On a 'Whittlin--but my best Oracle--who befirended me at age 12--sorta sat up--stretched looked about- --etc., and went back to 'Whittlin--

The part that made it stick in my mind was the feeling that maybe I should intervene with some fatherly advice on her attire. Not that it was unpleasant as she certainly had the body to pull it off. She just seemed so genuinely nice and respectful that I felt somewhat compelled to try and help her out. So on my part it was the father instinct coming out.


I dont think some of these young girls realize how their dress or attire when it is on the skimpy side can come across to others and even affect how they are treated, employment oppurtunities etc. I am not saying that it should, but the reality is, it does.

In this case I dont believe she realized that her outfit was quite that revealing or focused some probably unwanted attention on parts of her anatomy.

When I see women in their forties wearing something similiar I guess I assume they are a little more aware of what they are revealing and in some cases are looking for the attention. With the younger girls I think it may be the fact that they see so much of this in the media, hollywood, and it has slowly become acceptable and commonplace for them to dress skimpily. I fear that many are not mature enough to fully understand the implications or possible consequences. They like the attention maybe but cant see the possible down side.


Am I just becoming a prude Ax:D

Agree with the fellows sentiment. Or the more common saying "I may be Married but I am not dead yet" as it pertains to window shopping or perusing the menu if you will.

I certainly have nothing against appreciating a pretty girl or the beauty of the feminine form. I even appreciate a tastefully executed nude such as Boticelli's Venus.

I am far from prudish but from time to time like this find myself thinking maybe I should impart some fatherly advise.
