Add me to the list of those who think the young woman in question hasn't 
a clue when it comes to how others see her in that get-up. She looks 
dreadful. The only sight worse would be my 61 year-old body in 
skin-tight clothes that let my middle hang out. ;^) Moreover, the 
expression on her face says "Drop dead" and she has a hard look about 
her..... at least to me she does.

I was in Sam's Club in Macon, GA, this afternoon and a young teenager 
with her mother crossed my path. The girl's pants were within an inch of 
showing cleavage in the caboose area and her tee-shirt was above her 
navel. In between was the loveliest set of "love handles" over-lapping 
her jeans anyone ever saw. She wasn't a fat girl by any means but 
certainly not in shape either. There was absolutely nothing "sexy" about 
her and I wondered why she was wearing such unflattering clothes.

Still, I suppose we were just as much a mystery to our parents in the 
'50's as kids are to their parents today.
