“Tops the size of a postage stamp”

This summer has perhaps been the most ill-weathered and damp for many but for those who have been lucky to catch up with the sun, have been left tanned and battered in fashion crossfires. And they wonder why.

Well, several authorities have in the recent past challenged the ideal dress code for public pools, parks, streets and beaches. And what is it with the sunbathers doing so indecently? (Don’t ask me..) First came the saggy pants issue in Louisiana, and a while ago, the banning of thongs and bikinis in Utah, just to mention a few.

And now, Helsinki is the latest city to have been caught up in a mishap of the kind after a woman was ‘allegedly’ caught sunbathing in a children’s pool in strings and tops the size of a postage stamp. The words used to describe the incident are strong and if you’d get the picture you’d perhaps ask the lady to cover up. Apparently, a normal bikini is allowed at the pool. It is not clear however, what a ‘normal bikini’ is for this matter. What is normal and how normal can it be?

One thing beats me though; even though the respective authorities are quick to forbid bikinis and all that, they do not know what is the best outfit for a public sunbather leave alone recommending it to any would bes.

A woman is well dressed when she is closest to being naked

If you agree or disagree with the title of this article, you might actually know something about fashion, but to which side do you fall? In my world of fashion, a glass half empty or half full is one and the same thing but you may see better via an almost empty one… get the picture?.

By the way, this is not my idea, its just something that I thought would be worth commenting on and passing it on to you as food for thought.

I think that in the modern world, most fashion conscious women are well dressed when they are almost naked. Take the Hollywood red carpets for example, those that are described as fashionable by the media are more or less naked; there is nothing left to the imagination. One look and you can visualize the whole package in 3D. If it was an IT product on sale, it would perhaps have that ‘works right out-of-the-box’ tag. And thats the same with the runways as well, it is either they are barely covered or worse, otherwise.

This fashion trend of being well dressed when almost naked has got to the point that women have done away with their inner wears while they outer ones cover less or are more see me vias. The petticoat was done away with decades ago and it is now common to pose on the red carpet without a bra, with the two dudes freelancing aimlessly about and sometimes popping out to say hello! Worst shots have been captured by the paparazzi whereby fashion icons or role models have been spotted without a string, but the media loves it!

Whether it is good or not is not the issue but the thing is it is gonna spread to the society like forest fire, well, it has already. And thats why we have jumped ship: “she is well dressed when she is closest to being naked”

What do you think?
