I’ll tell you what, one thing that living in a tourist town has taught me is that when people are on vacation, they clearly feel a sense of liberation from any reasonable fashion decisions. Maybe it’s because they think they’ll never see anyone from here ever again, but whatever the case, you do see all kinds of crazy outfits here in the summer, ranging from the almost naked to the downright bizarre.
This lady… I wish I’d gotten a photo of her standing up, because I cannot describe just how short that “skirt” actually is, but perhaps you can get the idea from what you, ahem, see here. Mind you, if I had a body like that I might dress similarly (though I’d still cross my legs), and who am I to judge? But let me tell you, this was not exactly what I wanted to see five minutes before dinner. The guys may disagree.
Hilarious and disgusting all at once.
I heard a great podcast on “this American Life”
( http://thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1194 )
An American living in France tells a hilarious story of being on a train and listening the American tourist sanding next to him talk to his girlfriend about him in English (assuming he was french.) You have to hear it to understand how funny it is.
At one point he comments on the american guy’s attire. He describes him as wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt advertising a pizza place in San Diego. I believe the actual quote was something like this
“I know that comfort has it’s place, but I’ve always thought it was rude to visit another’s country dressed as though you came to mow it’s lawns.”

Omigosh!
I have the same experience when i was waiting for my plane, the girl in front of me sits exactly the same thing that she’s doing, not only that most of the passengers at that time are male, and theyre gawking at her like theyre going to shred her into pieces, and guess she even sits like nobody’s watching. SICKENING.

Yes, I respectfully disagree. 😀

@Jake: haha, it’s so true, so many Americans do dress like that in Europe… and people think you can’t guess someone’s nationality from a distance, but you totally can. You develop the skill quickly.
I’m going to go listen to that podcast now.

@meow: yeah, it’s surprising how girls can expose themselves and not even be aware of it… I mean, if you insist on wearing a skirt like that, cross your legs! Duh.

@Jen: *lol* Ironic that you’re telling me to chill – not sure if you noticed, but the tone of this website is fun. No one said it was “a big deal.” It’s ok, you can relax here and laugh along with us, you don’t have to be the blog post police.
Anyway, kind of hard to mind your own business with some chick’s white cotton hoo-ha flashed at you. *snicker* My point is that people who come here on holiday don’t realise that some of us live here year-round and have to see hundreds of hoo-has (some not in cotton) every season without asking for it. I’m sure if girls were doing the same around Dublin city centre you’d have noticed it and wouldn’t be surprised if someone blogged it. So, you know… chill. No one wants a nanny blog. We’re allowed to laugh at girls’ cooters here.

Fortunately, no one has ever died from seeing a hoo-ha, becottoned or not. There may be rare exceptions when the beholder is driving a fast moving vehicle, but in general it may be considered perfectly safe to ogle (or avert one’s eyes from) the object in question. Afterthought: white cotton panties are conventional signifiers of innocence (and, hopefully, personal hygiene).

@mfzh:

omg, imagine if that were possible… I would totally use my powers for evil. No white cotton for me, no sir.

@melissa: as far as I know, do psychoanalysts interpret the myth of Gorgo Medusa as an expression of male fear of the female parts of woman. you look at them directly and you turn into stone, which is almost the same as dying. but, of course, it’s only a myth, otherwise britney’s fans would all be rubble today.

@mfzh: not to mention Lindsay’s and Paris’s. Actually, Lindsay’s might just spontaneously combust.
