I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I, an obsessive girl watcher, don't really want to see many more young women with bare midriffs. For three reasons:
1) They have love handles, or what ad copywriters used to call "lardosis", plus their bellies tend to quiver when they walk, not exactly the height of femininity;
2) Some wear tattoos, almost always a blotchy blue, which sometimes too proudly suggest that they extend to the private parts; and
3) To paraphrase the immortal Oscar Hammerstein II, many of the midriff barers are broad where a broad should be narrow, and they're narrow where a broad should be broad.
Or to paraphrase another great lyricist, Johnny Mercer, women's clothes used to accen-chu-ate the positive. Now they elim-I-nate it. That's what you get for messin' with Ms. In-Between.
Fortunately summer is ending, and now we can see more women in ugly dirty-looking jeans.
