But.. why?!?

April 12 2006
I love spring.  I love the sunny days.  I love the flowers blooming.  I love the warm weather.  But it's not all pretty flowers and sunshine.  With the breaking of spring also comes a most dreadful and horrible thing... the miniskirt.

Now, personally, I don't like miniskirts, but I understand that some girls believe that since their legs are beautiful, they should show them.  That does not, however, explain why girls that are, shall we say, not properly built for mini-skirts insist upon wearing them.  Do they own mirrors?  If so, what do they see when they look in them?  Because it most certainly is NOT what I see.

Some people will say that these girls are simply comfortable in their own skins and that's why they dress this way.  Well, that would be more believable if miniskirts weren't ridiculously uncomfortable.  Now, it may just be me, but I like being able to walk up stairs or sit down without worrying about having an underwear revelation.  Besides, simply because you're comfortable with your body doesn't mean that you need to show it off.  There are parts of my body that I really like, but that doesn't mean that I dress those parts up in hussy gear.

One of the worst parts is that some of these girls are really very pretty and have several good attributes.  Unfortunately, the wide expanse of not-as-attractive leg distracts from their beatiful face or their nice arms and shoulders.  Why do they choose to accent parts of themselves that aren't so nice, and thus distract the eye from the lovely parts of themselves they should be accenting?

Perhaps someone out there can shed some light on this for me.  As for me, I'm off to start an anti-miniskirt picket line.

How can one dress up and show off a kind heart or a sense of humor or a great attitude? Why can't we dress up the stuff we get to keep even after age and gravity have made a mess of our bodies?
