An Observation
There seem to be a non trivial percentage of women who look far better without clothes than when wearing them. Naturally, as a good liberal, I blame the patriarchal culture that dominates our lives.
However, I must say that poor fashion choices seem to also account for an unnerving percentage of these data points. Again, I blame society. Self image is largely shaped by peer perception and mass media is our peer perception in these modern times.
Although the repressed libertarian in me (don't worry, I'm doing my best to eradicate it) can't help but wonder if a mirror or two might help matters. Doesn't matter when they've shed their clothes, of course, but still. One would think that observing the ill fitting clothes in a reflection would lead to better fashion choices in the long run...

True. Again, I blame society.

Conversely, there is a significant number of people of both genders who REALLY need to cover up -- a lot. Hot weather is not a friend to these folk and, frankly, they make my eyes hurt.

Yes, speedos are not a good fashion choice...
