Early stuff...

[silveradept]

...examination tomorrow, you see. Need to get up early so that I can accumulate all the stuff I need to be able to pull off this stunt.

Here's a curious thought from the back of my head. What is it about sleeveless tops that are just long enough so that they sit right on the top of jeans on women that makes the women attractive? For a large part of the recording session tonight, I was trying to figure out the reason for that on one of the other members of the trombone section. The top in question was not spaghetti strap, and had full shoulders. Ideas?

...there's more to that explanation. That's not to say I think i know where you're aiming, but...

It's all just tantalisation, really, isn't it?

Because the top sits *right on* the top of the jeans, it only just covers all the body. Hence, you continually expect every small movement to reveal something which is currently hidden... (and of course, because it's hidden, it's intrinsically interesting/attractive...). But of course, they usually don't, hence building up a kind of "potential" of "almost seeingness". (Yes, I'm not bothering to use real english at the moment).

Isn't this the principle behind a lot of social reactions to both clothing and particular body parts? (Things you generally see a lot, or can see easily are much less interesting than things you don't, which in turn are less interesting than things you only see glimpses of... hence the whole Victorian thing about Women's ankles...)

I think you win. Of course, it helps that the woman that i was staring at was attractive herself...
