Re: Tattoo's???
I vaguely considered the tiny, discreet, hardly ever seen, top of the thight thing when they were very, err, edgy?, when Chrissie Evert* had a little daisy just under the hem of her tennis skirt.Not now, when the world and his dog has them. And not the places people have them; if it was a port wine stain birthmark all over their shoulder they'd be weeping and saying their life was ruined and they couldn't wear a pretty dress of a revealing top .... but they voluntarily get an ugly (imo) grey smear.
And back to my abiding thought on tattoos and piercings. Fast forward 40 years to the Bideawee Retirement Complex for Older Gentlefolk. 35 old ladies and 5 old men sadly comparing saggy, wrinkly, pale grey smudges and saying "but you shoud have seen it when it was young and fresh - Sydney Harbour Bridge all over my shoulders and Maori peace symbols round my thighs"
* Sad to see Chris and her new golfer husband (Greg Norman?) have split after less than 2 years. *sigh*
