I feel sorry for females in tight clothes. One of the things I love about being 42 is my absolute refusal to wear anything uncomfortable. To hell with that.
At a recent Indians game, as we baked in the sun, I looked around as I’m prone to do, at the people. So many girls/women in short shorts. Thighs sweating, and sticking to the hot seats. Shorts just too damn tight.
I remember being a teen, and smooshing myself into clothes that didn’t fit. Cut-off denim short shorts, with too short crotches, (and my Dr. Shoal’s sandals finishing off the look). It was unpleasant. How did I stand it?
I watch females do that awkward walk, ever so casually lifting a leg unnaturally as they step, trying to dislodge a camel toe. Or sometimes they actually have to stop and tug the thighs of their shorts down. Because they creep up, and let’s face it, thigh chafing is nothing to mess around with.
I’ll have none of that.
I want my shorts mid-thigh. Even knee length. I want them lightweight. Elastic waists are nice, though drawstrings are also good.
The heat index here today is somewhere between 105-115. It’s uncomfortable enough. No one needs to squeeze into ill fitting garments.
‘Cause the only thing worse than how a camel toe looks, is how a camel toe feels.
Ladies? Don’t do this to yourselves.
Drawstring shorts are the best. If it uncomfortable, it does not remain on my body. Life is too short. 🙂
A woman who speaks my mind!
Dear Michelle, I like people who speak their own mind and walk their own walk. Go for it! I’m 75 now and I’m loving wearing just what I want when I want how I want. Ah, growing older is such a delight!
Peace,
Dee
Love it! The only thing camel toes are good for on a woman is so that I can point them out in public to my husband and watch him shiver.
I’m sorry it’s so hot there. It’s raining here and supposed to be sunny and 80 this weekend. Come for a respite! Bring the kids and the dogs and HT! We’ll barbecue some meat (instead of you).
I knew there was a reason I stopped going to ball games! ; )
Hope things cool off there soon.
Oh you are SO on my wavelength!
Real Women have curves!!
Hello, Michelle, first I’d like to thank you for commenting on my blog today. I’m thrilled when that happens. Thank you, also, for suggesting the book about the Cleveland community of nuns. I’ll try to find it at the library here and if not there, then at Amazon. Peace, Dee
Lol! Ouch;)
I love this post! This is exactly why – even though I had a baby almost 3 months ago – I refuse to put away the maternity pants! I am so glad they are getting bigger every day (me getting smaller!) but nothing beats an elastic, all you can eat belly panel or a big, old drawstring! I’ll always feel a little nostalgic when I walk past the Motherhood Maternity store 🙁
Michelle, your blog brings me so much joy!
AAAAAAFREAKINGMAAAAAN chick!
Not to mention how it makes me sad sad sad SAD to see wee little girls in these shorts!! No. Not ok.
