And the tight satin blouses are very popular here as well.

But the shorts could really not get any shorter or tighter - perhaps if I had the figure I might wear them but I doubt it.

It does seem to be the fashion.
Not seeing the problem here........

My husband was laughing when he was in the CBD on Sat night, he saw this girl frantically tugging down her skirt as you could see her knickers and these Aussie blokes were yelling at her.

On Sunday we saw this girl who had on such tight shorts that she had to sit down with her legs spread out wide, it was a wonder that she didnt hurt herself.

And to think how hot it was on Sunday

But these girls do seem to all have perfect legs though - I would love to have a figure like that.

I wouldnt however, squeeze it into some shorts like two ferrets fighting in a sack.

Well you might, rumours have it that if you do a special dance at immigration then suddenly you get the figure, the tan and the super short/tight shorts. Anyway, there isn't anything wrong with your figure now

Ahhh ... but 'beer o clock!' ... don't spose you've heard that one!

I personally hear it ALL the time! ... normally about half hour before 'end of the day' on a Friday! ...

"Beer o clock!" ... love it! ...
