Ah, our "misspent youths" -- it's good memories, though.Charlie wrote:Ahhh skating. Take me back to the days of my yoof when they opened an ice rink in Bristol. Us lads all took up skating just to go and look at the girls in their short skater skirts. When the girls started wearing jeans our interest waned somewhat.
The magic of the "short skater skirts" is that despite first appearances, it's all quite modest indeed; that's not flesh, everybody's well covered up so as to not get cold. So it's all left up to the imagination -- and that makes it all the better (at least for this bloke, then and now). Jeans leave me cold 100% of the time.
I'm contemplating acquiring one before I lose the physique to carry it off well. The trick is actually sourcing one large enough; they only seem to go up to size 10 or so and I'm a 14 ("so fat as to be unbecoming in one", or so the retailers would think?).Half a century later I've got my own skater skirt which is just right for a hot summer's afternoon in the garden
