Short Shorts Days of Summer

Mini skirts, hot pants, and daisy dukes.  It’s raining short shorts everywhere. Fashion statements for the summer heat seem to be “the less apparel the better.” You’ve got the short jumper, the short romper and the short playsuit. The look is playful, youthful and cool. It’s deisgned to attract attention to a woman’s legs too, but not to the point of gawking or lewd stares. For those who are length conscious don’t have to be made to feel self-conscious or like they are under visual attack.  

So be careful of how short you go. Summertime is here, and the heat calls on us to exercise more decorum than usual. So when you see a woman sporting short shorts in any form, remain calm and be courteous. Let’s not be short with each other and allow tempers to soar along with the temperature. A short fuse might be all it takes to ignite the fire of frenzy that could end with a fatlity. Stay cool and maintain your dignity.

“Wear colored shorts so that they’re bold and they’re bright

And by all means make sure they fit you just right.

Like a flower in the day

Think of yourself as a walking floral bouquet.

Let us respect those who are wearing shorts

Don’t glare at them and run them away.

And while you have a basic right to say what’s on your mind 

Keep those ludicrous ideas in your head

And grow a man-sized spine.

If your choice is to go short

Be dignified when you cavort 

And add respect and dignity 

To the way you want to be.” –munson steed
