Are These Shorts Too Short?

Shorts are in fashion yet again this year, making me think that the short skirt or the mini-skirt has had its day. In fact, it was hard to find a single younger woman out and about in Bremen on Saturday who wasn’t wearing shorts, some with considerably more flair than others according to the cut, their size and a few other factors. A few I was tempted to ask whether they’d borrowed their legs from a mannequin, as they were whiter than a pop stars’ teeth.

The style is either tight and incredibly short, leaving next to nothing to the imagination, and I mean front and back, or cut-off jeans with the pockets hanging down at the front. This is a style I have never been able to make friends with: why don’t they remove the pockets? I mean, they are totally useless and, to my way of thinking, look stupid. But with some of the shorts, well, you have to ask yourselves a simple question.

Are they really wearing any fabric at all, or do we just, through social mores, imagine that there is something there?

Because I am certain that with some of the young women, if they didn’t bother wearing the shorts themselves, you wouldn’t see that much of a difference.

My favorite experience of the day, however, didn’t involve shorts at all. I enjoyed a bite to eat in the center of town late in the afternoon, when we had seen everything and bought nothing at all, and there was a young woman who came to sit two tables across from us, out in the open but in the shade. It was far too hot to be out in the sun for too long. She was wearing a very loose, very short beige dress and sandals, had her hair up in a pony-tail and looked stunning. Even more so when she sat down across from us, totally unaware that anyone else was around her, and sat with her legs unsuitably spread apart, affording one of the most interesting views you can imagine.

I hasten to add, she was wearing a bikini under her dress, which probably makes all then difference. With panties I suspect she might have been a little more discreet. Still, it made my day. Now I just need to find that young woman who wears a belt and has forgotten her shorts…

Love & Kisses, Viki.
