Beauty: The Great Divide

Dear Reader,

I am enthused to write to you to-day about a subject of the utmost importance which needs some addressing, or should I say, needs some DRESSING. Let's talk about undergarments and how they can prevent one from exposing her backside to the rest of the world when worn properly.

I hate to come across so callously dear, but this is just a topic I never thought I would need to discuss. However, modern trends in fashion call for such a reprimand. I have noticed that lately, the fashion in trousers is to wear the "waistline" below the navel; now, if the tops aren't long enough, guess what you see? A long stretch of pasty white "you know what"! Now, skin is meant to be seen on the beach, and modestly at that. The problem nowadays is that skirts are no longer as in fashion--when one wears a skirt, she will also wear a full slip, thus eliminating "peek-a-boo" issues when she bends over, reaches up high, etc. With trousers, even a camisole can ride up, causing a free "peep show". I am afraid that one has to wear a coverall corset to prevent such things. There should never be a divide between one's top and bottom, ever. Mark this down in your course book, dear--in ink!

I hope this lesson has encouraged you to dress more modestly and appropriately. And by all means, wear skirts so you can enjoy the luxury and ladylike genre of lingerie at its finest. Let's bridge the great divide!

Until next time...

HF
