Robert Edward Caldecott wrote: will lead to women being told to show off less flesh, etc. hehe. :) There's a line, somewhere (between a g-string and a full body bathing suit, for sure :-D) It's an interesting analogy, but I'm not sure it's valid. A more hormonally mature person than me can look at a barely clad woman and admire her for her beauty. That's fine. But showing your underwear in droopy pants? I challenge anybody to show me the beauty in that. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

                  Sorry Marc but how can you claim there is absolute beauty in the clothing sense when cultures vary so greatly. Here in Africa tribal women freely expose their breasts and it the culture accepts and even demands it. The Khoi San women wear less than a thong over their entire bodies and it is considered a beautiful thing by their men. You and I have been brought up in the western way which puts underwear in a certain place. When it moves out of that place it feels out of place to us and we rebel. It's not anything to do with absolute beauty though. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell. "

Similarly, ugly things resonate with our spirit in a different way, usually with antipathy.

                            This is why targetting the revealed thong is a poor choice. It is how the person wears it, how she presents it and the thought which she put into it that makes it beautiful or not. It can be grace and elegance in some yet vulgar ugliness in another. We agree, beauty is a resonance and projection and that breaks down any absolute ugliness in a particular clothing. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell.

                              I remember a fad back in the 80's that involved girls walking around with the zipper and button in the trousers open, obviously, the trousers had to sit real tight :-) "After all it's just text at the end of the day. - Colin Davies "For example, when a VB programmer comes to my house, they may say 'does your pool need cleaning, sir ?'
