batskeetsI haven't done one of these in a while, and I have something to bitch about, so here we go!
Put some freakin' CLOTHES on already!
Okay, so the weather outside has been the roasty-toasty, bright and shiny, melt-your-face-off kind of weather, and I understand that it's hot outside, but for some reason, people take that as an excuse to veer sharply towards nudity in public places. And let me tell you, it is GROSS.
Now, don't get me wrong, it's not as though I haven't ever appreciated a well-built shirtless guy in my day, because I have. But for every nicely-toned fellow out there, there are tons of scary-ass people who insist on parading around half-naked and acting like they're hot shit because of it.
What the hell is the mystique about being naked in front of other people?? And I especially don't understand the attraction for those who have nasty bodies. I mean, yeah, I don't have the world's best body or anything (granted, it's not horrible either... I actually consider myself rather well-proportioned in my semi-stockiness), but you also won't see me joining the floppy booby tribe and running around in a stupid Old Navy halter top and micro-shorts.
So let me just say this: No, Mister "I Only *Think* I Can Play Ball", I do *not* want to see your out-of-shape gut hanging out over your trousers. No, Little Miss "Please Ogle Me and My Tube Top", I do *not* want to see your goddamned nipples. PUT THAT AWAY. Thanks.

Re: I don't know if I agree.
Date: 2001-05-25 06:31 am (UTC)I guess I've also made catty comments about women my size or larger, and it's pretty obvious anyone looking to dress in tiny things needs to be attentive to cut and style (the same goes for the tiny people, too, though), so I'm not innocent. Time and place, I guess. And support garments (Mara, think la leche league cosplayer).
But still, yeah. There's an element of shame here I don't like.
