I think the "long short" is one of the better fashion developments for men in the last decade. I hate long trousers and only wear them for half of the year through meteorological necessity. That said, I would never bare my top in a built-up area.Andrew Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968231919253150433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-86941956686128980152008-05-12T13:12:00.000+01:002008-05-12T13:12:00.000+01:00Yes Kitten, and I bet these women think they look ...Yes Kitten, and I bet these women think they look hot, because they're wearing a too-tight T-shirt that says they are.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914896847679973163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-25942310789741054602008-05-12T13:10:00.000+01:002008-05-12T13:10:00.000+01:00I don't wear shorts either, and have to confess th...I don't wear shorts either, and have to confess that I do own a couple of pairs of 3/4 length combats, but they were bought in a moment of weakness during the heatwave of 2006 when even I was forced to find an alternative to jeans.<BR/>That was until I discovered the joys of linen jeans. I've had them and - and this is a biggy for me - no socks on all weekend!

Not only are men whose naked torsos look good in even shorter supply than men who look okay in shorts, but they are much too undressed for their surroundings. I always think "Put some clothes on, man, you're in civilized society now!"<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile in Walthamstow, I noticed many local housewives having their annual bash at evening up the score in the unbecoming-displays-of-flesh stakes. Incompetent tattoos and cheap Lycra boob tubes stretched far too thinly across wobbly sunburned rolls of fat, it's a look that never goes out of style... unfortunately.A Kitten in a Brandy Glasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193831795902156558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-48818388067595638302008-05-12T10:51:00.000+01:002008-05-12T10:51:00.000+01:00It was all good-looking blokes in shorts at mine y...It was all good-looking blokes in shorts at mine yesterday; it was good. But I know what you mean, I too am loathe to reveal too much, and I only do it for medical purposes on holiday.
