Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)
Because it is pretty and doesn't have any skeletons in it. ;P

A, but only because baseball and soccer players wear tight fitting uniforms.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.

I've been thinking about the corset a lot lately and how it was rejected around the turn of the century. It really is an amazing event in our history, in my opinion.
At one time, the corset was thought to serve a purpose. It was able to make a person look acceptable. It was structural. There may have been people around that never expected it to go away. Some people still do corset type things to their bodies. Some people still want to be controlled in order to look a certain way.
Honestly, I think it's challenging to be comfortable with the type B religion.

I do get your point Z, but even 'B' owns its own superficiality....doesn't it?
Off topic but, I've worn a moustache for most of my life. I finally gave it up a few years ago as I grew weary of trying to figure out.... the conundrum of Men belittling women's use of makeup and their own manicuring of facial hair?

I suppose nude is the purest form of religion.
But I'm really digging Exhibit B.

It would be nice if we could find a religion that is not very complicated, controlling, or addicting like opium. If we could just find something Barbra Streisand might wear in the 1970's. Now that would be a religion!
