summertime fellas.

[darkandstormy]

So us girlies on the whole make an effort, we dress accordingly, moisturize, shave fake tan,whatever.Perhaps the boys should follow our example as there have been some dreadful,chicken legs on sight today.Not to mention the ruddy red faces, or the whaley torsos, god fellas get a girdle or stay indoors.I know we can't all be drop dead gorgeous, but have some decorum.What makes me laugh most is their utter confidence in their "looks", god, puke.
I probably am being unreasonable but there have been some sights for sore eyes on the streets today.

YANBU. I don't want to see nakedness in the street. Don't even like to see my own nakedness (but those are my ishoos!)

Yesterday I was stuck in a queue behind a stinky man with no top on and a hairy, hairy back. Wet hairy back.

Put a top on!

WingedVictory our DS's could join forces. Mine says "Boobies! I can see your Boobies!" "Shake your boobies!" whenever he sees nipple (man, woman, child, no discrimination here!)

( He's not encouraged to though, I don't approve of him saying it or anything!)

blackfly, what a fantastic child! (How old is he? Mine's 2, but from the syntax you describe, yours is older?) It's so good to hear truth being spoken like that!

What you don't understand is these fellows getting about in the cockney heatwave sans-shirts have liberally applied Lynx to their torsos. So if you'd just get a little closer, and appreciate the seductive aroma of this modern day Spanish-fly, you'd get the point.

I am far from perfect but I make sure my skirts aren't short enough to show off the not-so perfect parts of my legs etc. Went into town today though and had to see loads of guys without t shirts. It's not a beach for Gods sake. What makes people think it's ok to walk around without a top? And that in Glasgow, where it wasn't even that hot. So it's not like people would shrivel up and die because they wear a shirt and get over heated. I mean nobody is perfect but it would be nice to at least wear clothing your size/clothing at all. And no, bikini tops do not strike me as appropriate in a shopping centre

Screaming Eagle - bet he was gay!

He's 3 WingedVictory, he's very honest,and has unfortunately has no volume control!

has don't know what I used 2!

There are only two rules for summer dressing:

1. Never expose more flesh in public than you would in winter, just wear lighter clothes;

1. If you really must take your clothes off to sunbathe, always work with gravity never against it, by laying down quickly on a lounger.

We went out to a lovely little riverside town yesterday and got our eyeballs assaulted by various gentlemen displaying their man-tits/lovely tattoos of killer dogs. As I said to DH, the police should be issued with t-shirts to hand out to these bare-bellied bushpigs.

I'm aware that I sound very nazi-ish

blackflyinyourchardonnay, at 3, I imagine your little one has developed a bit more lung power, and is more articulate, too! I'm quite looking forward to that age. I wonder what else he can have a go at with a bit more vocab and the bigger voice?

Anyway, we can congratulate ourselves that our little ones are still cute when naked, so ner to hairy moobs and sweaty exposed muffin-tops!

I have to agree completely!
Why is it that the most fattest, sweatiest, hairiest man can prance around with his shirt off thinking he is the next supermodel but if he sees a woman with some excess skin/fat showing then he feels he is within his rights to make rude comments about how fat the woman is or how much she resembles a whale etc

I dread to think WingedVictory!

Ha and very true about our DSs' still being cute naked! In fact, only yesterday I was looking at DS's chubby knees, and thinking how lucky he is that his chubby knees are cute. My chubby knees aren't!

blackflyinyourchardonnay, I'm sure no-one looks at your knees when you are borne along by graceful wafts of Chardonnay, as I imagine from your nickname!

And what is cute about the littlies (apart from the hairiness, gratuitous lard, overt sexuality and other things we are complaining about on this thread) is that they are not posing. (Anne Geddes naked babes, by contrast, don't always do it for me.) Then we get the prudish sort of teenagers who, again, are quite sweet because we don't see Everything. I don't like half-naked teenagers any more than half-naked old-enough-to-know-betters! Ugh.

Oh, dear!

I meant: "apart from the lack of hairiness, gratuitous lard, overt sexuality and other things we are complaining about on this thread"

What a horrible mother I nearly was, saying such things!
