Low Rise Jeans Question

[Selkie]

Tramp stamp---kinda says it all, doesn't it? Those things are a dime a dozen--where I live, I see them mostly on overpriviledged princesses whose parents bought them BMWs for their 16th birthdays. Probably had to get drunk before they could get up the nerve to get them, too! (meow!).

I have a tattoo of a small bike on the outside of my lower left calf. No, I wasn't drunk when I got it. It was my "mid-life crisis moment" and a salute to my glory days in the 1980s when I was a punk rock girl (multiple piercings in my ears before it became "the thing"). If old age ever makes my bike start to sag, I can easily get it lasered off because it's a simple "line" design in black ink.

I think you need to post a pic of your tattoo.

Clever! And yes! Pix!

Same here. And most of them REALLY should not be wearing this fashion - ever heard of "the muffin"? That is the little roll that hangs out over the belt. Apparently, college girls don't own full length mirrors (apologies in advance to TE sisters who have WAY more class than this!)

Hey Kitsune!

Thanks for the link on the kilts .

They look cool - and, I'm sure they'd "be cool" on a breezy day.

Reminds me of a very talented guitar teacher I had (focusing on traditional scottish/irish tunes), Tony Cuffe, who passed away in late 2001 from cancer.
Not only was he a multi-talented musician....he was a very sweet & simple guy. It was a privilege to know him.

Back to those kilts......wonder if my DH would wear one cycling???? (somehow I don't think so...but, they are cute!)

Peace & Love,

Denise

The ones with the privacy snap work very well on bikes and ladders, etc. XDH wore them pretty much exclusively, even when he commuted daily.
I'd use that snap a lot- running, biking, etc- if I had one. As it is, the kilt comes out for special occasions. I've got the black standard kilt with the silver rivets and wear it with a thick leather belt/silver grommets. ...with my work boots. It's a certain look, but very, very nice at summer festivals etc where it's really hot.

looks very good on guys w/o shirts and if you go to the OCF in the summer, looks pretty good on girls w/o shirts.

(hey, we're on a thread talking about going commando. I figure it shouldn't be that much more taboo to talk about going topless where legal and acceptable...)

Back to the 'how to negotiate heavy flow days' discussion--I too have what I've been told is a light period (I believe I was also beaten repeatedly in a rage of envy). Before I started oral contraceptives I averaged a few hours' light flow every month and a half. It tapered off completely as a high performance athlete.

I thought oral contraceptives were supposed to LESSEN the flow--now I've got a good three days where I need to wear tampons. When it tapers off, I only own black thongs anyway and it never leaks through them.

On the 'muffin' -- I observe many a "bare midriff wobbling over the confines of its low-rise jeans and the oblivious face above it."

They don't necessarily lessen the flow in general, they do REGULATE your period.
They can lessen the flow if you normally have excessive flow. And if you have irregular, sparse or irratic periods they can help make them more regular. If you excercise like a demon, you may stop having having periods altogether for a while. Your body senses a high stress situation and shuts down the baby-making potential until it senses normalcy again, this happens with anorexia as well, with illness, or just if you've become way too thin.

as far as the thong panty liners go. i bought some to see how they worked. considering i usually use "dental floss" they didn't work for me. i used them with a regular thong (not fond of) and they just gave me a bigger weggie. went back to the floss and tampons, and i'm a happy camper.

I think it depends upon the person. I went on the pill back in my twenties because I was so erratic; a period every three or four months. Then, when I had the darn thing, it was heavy the first three days then tapered off the last two. While on the pill, I got onto a regular 28 day cycle and the flow significantly decreased to a light flow for maybe two days total. It could also be dependent upon the different amount of hormones in the different pills.

But back to the thong thing, I gave them a try for a good week or two, 'cause I thought they'd be cool in shorts (I was living in Guam at the time). I just couldn't get the hang of them! More power to those who find them comfortable, I just couldn't.

and yeah, lots of scots do wear 'em 'traditionally'.

I'm Scottish (and yes, I have my own tartan - Clan Scott). Brings to mind a few years back. It was Hogmanay and my neighbour had a party. Her brothers (big, strapping, fine looking lads) were there, dressed in their kilts. Some time later one of her brothers crouched across from where I was...and...what a view!!!. He was definitely a true Scotsman
