Why would I want to fight them off? There's enough names and
other things to go around for everybody.

I have seen a poster which shows a beautiful young girl in a bikini who is hugging a balding, overweight man. The caption of the poster is: "Guess which one is a multi-millionaire".

The city where I grew up has many beaches. It is common for girls to go topless at any of them. It is a truism that the less one wears the more they are there to be seen and they are not interested in connecting then and there. They are wishing to be remembered and recognized later.

Now that's interesting. The ones I meet are more impressed by the number
of names a poster has had. Different strokes for different folks, and so on...

If it is true that the good die young then any person who is more than fifty years old is evil. :)

The girls I meet are more impressed by the number of message boards posts that a guy has than how good-looking or rich he is.

I lived in Southern California in the 1970s and I met many real surf and beach girls back then. While they might look good in a bikini, they all seemed to know their commercial worth, and they all seemed to be looking for the best looking young rich men to date. An average guy usually had no chance with them. This was different from what I had experienced as a teenager on Gulf Coast beaches in the South.

The girls in the pre-code films usually looked more like nice sweet girl-next-door types... in lace and satin, which was more like what I experienced in life living in the South.

Sad to say, but most clothing in that style is still popular with drag queens...

For many years there has been a contingent of ladies dressed in similar styles in the April Fool's Parade in Odessa.

It is sad to say I can post no pictures as I can find none which are appropriate to a family forum as waist-down designs are popular.

Who knew "Fred Dobbs" is also "Fredrick's Of Hollywood"?

From 1957.

The sweatshops in Third World countries don't know how to make clothes like that.

Oh, and also, Walmart doesn't carry that stuff.

Probably had something to do with accidental flame-ups, strangulations and assorted trip-ups.
