Someone said that *nobody* should wear sleeveless blouses or dresses if they
have flabby upper arms (here in Houston where it sometimes gets to be 115F

What do you guys think? Should you not wear a mini skirt - even if you have
killer legs - past a certain age?

I'm not a guy, but I will never forget a lady in the church
where I sang, back when mini-skirts were fashionable the
last time. She had a gorgeous figure, shoulder-length
platinum blonde hair, and wore very trendy, youthful
clothes. She could get by with it from far enough away, or
when you saw her from the back, but then you'd catch sight
of the seventy-plus face, to which no amount of heavy
make-up could impart youth! She was a wealthy widow-woman,
whose constant attendant was a handsome young black man. He
may not have been her gigolo, but you know what everyone
