Very sexy.... (sarcasm implied).

Ellen Grote, a researcher at Edith Cowan University in Perth, has studied how Aboriginal teenage girls borrowed words from other cultures in their email gossip to construct a communal identity.

You gotta love the modern world.

These chicks in hip-huggers really aren't nearly as fat as they look. Theu just don't understand trousers: the belt goes at the waist. In addition to holding up the trousers, it identifies the waist, marking the transition from the hips to the torso. The SPOSIAFPS chicks have put thier belts in the middle of their hips, creating the appearance of two waists, or alternatively, of a huge "spare tyre" in their middle. It's ugly. If they'd put their belts on their real waists, they'd look like they have really long legs, and amply proportioned hips. Most men I know find that look very attractive, very feminine, very womanly.

Woof, the end should justify the jeans.

And the tattoo - a touch of class

I saw a young woman in a skirt the other day. I nearly fell off the train platform--wow a woman looking feminine, in California no less.

"Ya gotta admit that 'Muffin Top' is a brilliant descriptive phrase."

LOL, it is. I really didn't get it, until I spyed on today, then I was like: AHA! That really does describe it well.
