Hey, they had woman's tops in the 1970s that had spaghetti staps, crinkled elastic around the boobs, then hung loosely down to past the navel. What the heck were those called?

They almost looked maternity-ish, but they were hot.

Mercifully NO. I did have longish hair in 8th grade, theough, and my girlfriend curled it with a curling iron once. does that count?

I would have called it a tank top I guess. I was too young to wear things like that so I don't have any first hand knowledge. The 80's was the decade that I "blossomed" in.

I dunno. Fortunately, the tube top has remained a fashion staple among the trailer-park set.

It was like a tube top, but with flouncy material below it. I remember the neighbor gal very fondly with that thing on!

That's a start. ;-)

Actually, I'm willing to accept that. I'm really not the domme type so I don't enjoy seeing men grovel. A simple apology is sufficient.

Dasher might require a little more than that though. :-)
