Update: I have added a blog list on the right. The blogs you will find there are from people I know. With the whole blogging phenomenon, it will most likely grow over time. I hope it will because there is nothing better than some advertisement!
Driving home from the train station, after dropping of Heron, I was idling at a red light when I saw an older lady, probably mid-fifties, approach the intersection. As her light turned green she started jogging. She got my attention because of what she was wearing, or the lack thereof. Sporting sweat pants and a bra, she started jogging past my car.
It was great to see because recently I have been having random thoughts about what people wear. Men are allowed to walk around topless, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but why can't women do that? Among other things, don't we know it all, society has implemented certain standards and we are to follow them or else we break the code, the rules or what is believed to be 'moral', or appropriate. Bras are an example of that. What's the problem with women walking around topless? They are breasts; simply breasts. Men have them. Men have nipples too that don't have to be covered up. What would make it so shocking, and inappropriate, if women started walking around topless on hot, summer days?
If you think I am joking, I am not. This is a serious question. You know why people don't do it? Because they think it's not appropriate. Why is it not appropriate? Because society says so. We are sheep. Another example of how humanity is controlled by society and its institutions.All the power to the jogging fashionista! Don't be afraid to take it all off and tell society to shove it where the sun don't shine!
(By the way, I don't think this makes me a nudist. Or does it?)
