I was wandering along the high street and saw a girl (well she was about 20) in black leggings (that really looked like black tights), black (short) t-shirt and black ugg boots. I did a double-take as I thought her skirt had got hitched up somehow. She had a black lacey thong and you could clearly see the labels for the leggings and her knickers through the clothing.

Then I saw a girl wearing footless tights and a short balerina-type skirt. All very see-through.

Am I getting old? I don't want to see your knickers!

stop staring at their arses then

meh

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:28

No, I don't want to see next weeks laundry either. Nor do I wish to see someone's tits and legs, it's one or neither.

LilRedWG · 01/07/2010 14:28

At least they were wearing knickers.

Colliecross · 01/07/2010 14:28

I'll stop doing handstands then...

YANBU I keep seeing women in dress tops worn as dresses they only just cover their bottom so when they walk you can see their pants. Very odd. Having said that boys have been wearing their jeans hanging off their bums for years.

I feel your pain, especially at the supermarket when women bend over and show me the tops of their thongs cutting into their back fat, plus a large expanse of the top of their arse. WEAR CLOTHES THAT MEET IN THE MIDDLE AND PUT IT AWAY! Thank you.

wahwahwah · 01/07/2010 14:29

but sometimes they are just... there... like a car crash when you think... 'can I actually see a crack there??? Besides, today that bloody thong just looked so tight. Like a cheese wire.

Can you tell me which High street this is

Songbird · 01/07/2010 14:30

Isn?t the cardinal rule with leggings that you don?t wear a short top? And Uggs? In this weather? The youth of today eh? Tsk!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:30

Is a crack better then camel feet?

Colliecross · 01/07/2010 14:30

car crash

wahwahwah · 01/07/2010 14:32

My DC had a thing about pinging your knicker elastic if you were sitting on the floor and bent over. He was quite little at the time and fopund it very amusing.

I had to just about rugby tackle him one day at Gymboree - the class teacher was crouching over. Did she really have to wear a thong with little diamante bits? Oh they were twinkling away when they put the lights on for the glitterball.

'car crash' as in you know you shouldn't gawp but just can't help it.

Eurgh - camel toe.

ipanemagirl · 01/07/2010 14:35

LOL Lauriefairycake meh

yanbu I agree, I don't want to look at your thong or your tits or your ass you strumpets! Put it away.

Colliecross · 01/07/2010 14:36

Thanks - sorry - bit slow there - I might have let DC ping her actually

ipanemagirl · 01/07/2010 14:36

oh a mother at school always wears heinous tight leggings and the 'camel toe' (my husband's expression not mine) is an egregious act of unattractiveness imho.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:36

This isn't quite related but....
I was in the city centre last week, there was a child (about 3 years), very overweight, pushed in a buggy, wearing a burburry baseball hat and drinking... a fruit shoot. I just thought of you all. I'm truly sorry.

Colliecross · 01/07/2010 14:40

belledechocolatefluff That's you out of the running for fabulousness then.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:45

judging a small child drinking a fruit shoot? Oh, the shame of it.

Colliecross · 01/07/2010 14:46

Oh, sorry, thought you were describing my child's probable appearance - I take it back.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:47

ROFL!

diamondsandtiaras · 01/07/2010 14:49

My child has been known to drink fruit shoots. I never let her do it in public though

YANBu about the underwear though....yuk.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 14:50

The poor lad just needed a gregs sausage roll and he'd have had the full set!

ipanemagirl · 01/07/2010 14:51

don't get the fruit shoot thing at all. is that like, some kind of code?

camel toe = infinitely worse than bumcrack imo
