It's hot." But I can't help it. I hate them.<BR/><BR/>Then I met Flavia, found out she liked the damned things even less than I did, and it was love from there on out.<BR/><BR/>--GWBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1150130138695205842006-06-12T12:35:00.000-04:002006-06-12T12:35:00.000-04:00I don't believe in shorts either :)I don't believe in shorts either :)negativecapabilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014108944008633157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1150090229277793972006-06-12T01:30:00.000-04:002006-06-12T01:30:00.000-04:00I do believe that shorts exist (I see horrible exa...I do believe that shorts exist (I see horrible examples of them every day from April until October!), and I'm not even <I>anti</I>-shorts when it comes to other people's legs--but I find them fairly unflattering. They also require too damn much work in the hair removal department; a lightweight, knee-length skirt is cooler than shorts anyway.<BR/><BR/>And WN, I should clarify: I don't iron the khakis that I wear day in & day out: I wash 'em and hang 'em to dry (which cuts down on the wrinkles sufficiently). I love the tank-top/trousers look because it's more comfortable than anything else I own--and yet, if I throw on a pair of sexy sandals and some funky jewelry, presto! I'm dressed to go out.<BR/><BR/>(Honestly, tank tops are the best best best thing about summertime...)Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1150085658451766002006-06-12T00:14:00.000-04:002006-06-12T00:14:00.000-04:00Shorts exist!

How can you not believe in them? <BR/><BR/>I did this meme during two very hot days -- and since then all we have had is cold and rainy weather.

I don't wear shorts out officially (i.e., I'll wear them on a run to the grocery store, but not to where I'd mind if folks saw me in them), but I do think they can be awfully comfortable for simply lounging about.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I have a whole ironing thing about khakis, which makes them less than perfect for casual hanging about, but apparently that's just my personal hangup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
