Is This Another Burn Your Bra Generation?

[RSteve]

I missed the first go-round in 1968, because I was in Vietnam. When that Coors TV ad appeared last year on TV, where the young woman magically removes her bra through a blouse sleeve and the announcer talks about the "remove your bra beer" I thought, "Could it be....again?" But I didn't see much of a change.
The last few weeks, with temps in the high 80s and 90s, I'm seeing more and more young women letting their "girls" out of their confines. Yesterday, my older daughter at I went to a 5 Guys hamburger shop. A group of 5 girls came in who looked to be late teens, early 20s. All were wearing some type of thin halter or kind of a gypsy look thin linen blouse. With the sun shining though the window, they could have been wearing nothing on top. All their lovely goods were on display and not one seemed to be self conscious. All these young women looked to be athletes; all looked very much in shape. I asked my daughter if my eyes were playing tricks on me. She said, no, that a lot of younger women are going natural.
Then today, I stopped at Aldi's to pick up supper food for my grandchildren, and some of the younger women shoppers were obviously sans bra. I don't mind the eye candy, but I'd certainly be upset if one of my daughters, at that age, was displaying her goods.
It's difficult not to look and not become transfixed.

Don't know quite how you missed it as it as the trend continued for several years. When I came home from Nam in 70 and started college a lot of the flower children types were braless. Have to say I rather enjoyed it, lol. After a lot of visits to Sturgis where many of the women let their "girls" hang out seeing a woman or girl displaying their wares doesn't bother me in the least.

In the early 70s, I had a girlfriend, who became my first wife. (divorced in '76) She had a perfectly matched set of perky 34Bs on a 115 lb. body. I guess I really wasn't paying much attention elsewhere, plus in MN winter, everybody's pretty bundled up in warm clothes.

I honestly feel like an old "perv" for even looking at these fine young females young enough to be my granddaughters, but I'll get over it.

I try to walk briskly for about an hour daily along a blacktop path along the Mississippi River. Lots of young woman jog along that path, many from the nearby St. Thomas University. Wearing only a tank top above the waist and no jog bra, as they come jogging toward me, I have to laugh as their "girls" bounce around, unfettered.

yeah I guess you do qualify as a "perv". Just kidding. Nothing wrong with admiring the female body. Being a biker with numerous trips to Sturgis and many local rallies with wet t shirt contests over the years, and also being single for many years after my divorce, I have seen untold numbers of female breasts. Hundreds if not thousands. Like you I can appreciate the eye candy, but honestly at my age seeing 2 more just doesn't turn my world upside down anymore. LOL.

Some years ago, a while after my wife had passed away, I was shopping at Trader Joe's in St. Paul. Because of local ordinance, there's a separate entrance to the liquor store. One of the store staff was a young, quite beautiful African-American woman. She was stocking a lower shelf as I pushed my cart passed her and I guess I paused for a moment while I was behind her. She immediately popped up, looked directly at me and asked, "Were you looking at my backside?" I responded, "Not looking, miss, worshipping!" She broke out in a huge smile and gave me a hug.

Yep, you're a perv alright, lol.

That’s one of the downsides of getting to actually partake of the sorts of things we all dreamed of as kids: if you get enough of it, it becomes blasé.

My most recent ex and I spent a little over a week at an awesome topless optional resort in Cancun several years ago. The first couple of days, I nearly gave myself whiplash looking around. By the time we left, it felt… normal.

I got desensitized back in college art classes. The professor enjoyed hiring 70 year old women as nude models. "Everyone knows what a nude 24 year old looks like. With Thelma here, you HAVE to look and observe, and that's the point." Brrr. Despite hundreds of pairs of nicer ones observed since, I still appreciate variety: compare and contrast.

In 1966, I took a student tour along with my then girlfriend to Europe. We flew via Icelandic Airlines, which was really cheap. For the cheapest airfare, we had to stay a full day and night in Iceland. Our student group decided to take in Iceland's natural hot spring baths. In the baths there were men and women of all ages, sizes, and shapes buck naked. Along with my girlfriend there were lots of beautiful young women, who seemed to have no concern about being naked in front of a lot of people. Most of the guys, me included, were very concerned about having "lumber". The girls in the group did sufficient teasing about it that it became a non-issue. That really was a wonderful trip.

I should add that the thermal baths/pools of today in Iceland are a far cry from what they were 55 years ago. My understanding is that they have become quite luxurious.

Wonderful buffets at Desire......

Don't know about MN being it's a "blue" state, but some of the best looking older ladies around here are in the Republican Women's group. If I wasn't very happily married I would join the group. Men are allowed as associate members. Largest group in the nation, over 400 members. Many widows, single women, and many of them quite attractive. Maybe there is a similar group in MSP?

 

[RSteve]

I prefer women from the cocktail party.

Temp. This was pre-makeover. But what a great time. I have memories of everyone dancing one night in one of those torrential tropical rainstorms. It’s just coming down in buckets, but it’s just awesome.

As much as I dislike the heat, the skimpy outfits that come with it make it easier to "bare"
