Here women have taken to wearing trousers with very low cut waists. So low cut that some women are probably tanning the tips of their pubic hairs. This is a challenging fashion. Not in the least because it leaves vast swathes of midriff bare and exposed. There are definitely some that should resist the urge to expose their belly buttons to the world. I have now seen quite a few midriff's that I would rather not have. Just because it is fashionable doesn't mean you have to do it! Honest.

This fashion also exposes to view whatever undies the wearer has on. Especially when they are bending over. I think that perhaps this is the intent of this fashion - to reveal the back of a high cut g-string heading down. Which is probably why g-strings are starting to be given small stylish bejewelled displays on their back. I have noticed with interest this change in g-string design take hold as the low cut waists have grown in popularity.

But this fashion is challenging in other ways. I was returning to my office after a cup of coffee with Ian, an ex-colleague. In front of me I saw a car, back door open. Bending over, extracting something of great weight from the car was a woman. Wearing, yes, some very low cut trousers. One could not help but note that she did not have a stylish g-string on underneath. Rather, exposed to view, was a swathe of pale blue cotton. Pale blue cotton that looked a size to large. Perhaps this caused the lack of friction that explained what happened next?

For as she straightened with her heavy load in her arms, her trousers, having been forced across some invisible barrier as she bent, collapsed slowly to the ground, to pool around her ankles. The woman's face was an absolute picture. Her arms too full to arrest the trousers, one could track their fall in the way her mouth rounded in slow alarm. For a few frozen seconds she stood, exposed. And then with a flurry the load was put on the car roof, and the trouser restored to their rightful place. A few embarrassed glances at bystanders, and she was gone.

As this had unfolded before me I had grown the largest of smiles. Work has been very stressful of late. I have mentioned this, haven't I? This injection of humour brought light and well needed release. I thank my anonymous benefactor.
