Things you should know about short skirts


1) If your skirt is short and denim and you sit down, there is a good chance the skirt will not fall down by itself like normal skirts do when you stand up. I recently witnessed this at a restaurant. A girl in her early 20s flashed the whole restaurant when her itsy-bitsy skirt remained at her hips when she stood to leave. She corrected the problem quickly, but not quick enough.


2) Sometimes you may not be sitting on any fabric when your skirt is very short. Case in point, last year my friend at Trophy Life and I were at a college football game. The girl in front of us wore a skirt so short the pockets hung out of the bottom. When she sat down the bottom of her skirt was parallel with the top of the bleacher. It must have been cold.


3) Be prepared for short skirts to blow in the wind. I myself have never witness this, but I just heard two separate stories from eye witnesses this weekend that were flashed by short skirt wearers walking/bending over in blustery conditions.


Having said this...I think there are women who wear short skirts well. I just think a woman needs to be advised of the hazards before putting on her favorite mini.

Wifey, you make it sound like women in short skirts are victims. Hardly! They know what they're doing. "Oh no! My little black miniskirt just went above my waste in this darn wind!"

I believe this to have been a very thoughtful and selfless post. I appreciate your warning and will heed it.

I had made comments on Two Pretzels alluding to the fact that leggings look good on small children's squeexable legs but should not be worn by anyone over the age of four. I stand corrected, if you are totally aware of the fact that you might be revealing your mystery in a short skirt, I grant permission to wear leggings. (I suppose if you are aware of that you probably don't want to wear leggings, what a quandry.)

I was pumping gas at a Marathon station in Columbus one time...at the pump next to me was a rather attractive young lady wearing a short denim skirt, much like the short one you describe in the blog. She forgot sometimg in her car and leaned back in to get it while the gas was pumping into her car. Well it must have been buried because it took her a while to find it. To top things off, she was thonging it. When she was done searching and stood back up, her skirt did exactly what you said, stayed up. Anyhow, she revealed her "mystery" for a good 4 or five minutes. I felt bad for her but not bad enough to say anything and not bad enough to look away either :-)

I hypthosize that it was a marketing stunt by the gas station to keep me coming back every week...

It worked!
