Welcome to My World

My friend S (no, not the obnoxious “S” that coaxed me to move to Florida back in April … that twerp is now going to be referred to as “B” (figure that one out), but a real friend whose name also happens to start with an “S”) made the astute observation tonight that we might as well just rename Halloween entirely. These days adults don’t seem to celebrate the holiday by dressing in scary/spooky costumes, but instead by dressing in as little as possible, showing as much skin as possible, and being as suggestive as possible.

That’s not to say I mind this, of course I’m a big fan of women showing off as much skin as possible … when it’s attractive, at least. S definitely looked good tonight (she won the costume contest, in fact), but she dressed rather conservatively (okay, yes, the skirt was seriously short, but nothing was being “shown off” except some pleasant curves) compared to the other women in the place. Almost every woman in a costume was showing off lots of cleavage, plenty of tummy (even when it seriously shouldn’t have been shown), lots of leg (again, even when not strictly “desirable”), and as much other skin as possible. Quite literally, with the exception of S, almost every one of them dove into “skank” territory with their costumes.

A few of these costumes were done in reasonably good taste, but the rest were kinda gross when you get down to it. I don’t know how to convince a woman that it does not look good to expose a stomach that rolls over and covers your pants or shorts when you expose it. We’ve all seen that look — tight, sexy shorts or jeans, and a bunch of fucking skin oozing out above it and folded over those shorts or jeans a bit.

The bare midriff look is very sexy when you’ve got the right body. For the record, I’ve noticed that S does have the right attributes to pull this look off very well, but, in a nod to her sensibilities and good taste, she’s one of the few who doesn’t do it because she also thinks the look is overused (this is encouraging, actually — at least some women have good taste, and I’m glad she’s among them). The look is downright nasty when your damned belly hangs out over your pants. My ex-roommate was like this, and it completely wrecked what little appeal she had when she tried it anyway. When a woman bends over in front of you, you’re supposed to notice her butt, not flabby skin oozing out the top of whatever she’s wearing to hide her crotch from the world.

Anyway, expect lots of pictures in the coming days. I had some minor issues with the photo gallery tonight but they’ve been cleared up; now I just have to sort through the pics and upload the good ones.

Tomorrow promises to be another busy day of coding with some time spent on the phone tomorrow. I have an issue I want to consult with a lawyer about before I decide what action to take, but it promises to be an “interesting” experience, to say the least, no matter how it goes. It may well be quite an impressive little fight.

It’s raining outside (pouring buckets), and I find it seriously relaxing and soothing. I’ve always been a sucker for a good night-time rain. I even snapped a couple pictures of it before I headed home tonight.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween (er, I mean, Dress Up Like a Whore Day), and with luck, we’ve got ourselves a good holiday season coming up, too. Take care, all, and good night!
