Wearing only a bikini

Hardly worth adding a reply after 23 pages - who is going to read it.

However, it does raise an issue I have noticed a lot lately - women and girls walking around the streets wearing nothing but a bikini. The weather has been warming up a lot in Melbourne recently so just after school time a lot of the kids head down the beach.

I just don't get walking 2km from home to beach in just a bikini. I have nothing against bikinis. I think the look lovely. But can't they throw a sun dress over them? I think it would look gross for a guy to be walking the streets wearing nothing but his speedos so this is not a sexist thing.

Last year I was enjoying a coffee at my local cafe on a warm weekday morning. This cafe happens to be just 50m from the beach. A rather attractive, well-endowed woman came in for a take away coffee with just a wrap around her waist and a brief bikini top. It would have looked great on the beach but I thought it was out of place inside the cafe.

Now if you've looked at any of the articles on this site you will now I like breasts. I like breast weather (like we are having at the moment) and I like it when all my breasted friends come out wearing their summer tops. I have nothing agains a t-shirt or top with lots of cleavage if that's what you like wearing. In my opinion it's quite nice.

But just a bikini top over a couple of DDs inside a cafe? Not my cup of tea at all.
