Wow, you only did this in 7th grade? My college roommate\* now uses his picture phone to (in his words) surreptitiously take snapshots up girls skirts in lecture halls. I didn’t believe him until he pulled it (the phone, people) out one day and cycled through his “catch” for me. \*honestly, it’s my roommate - I’m more than willing to admit to my own stupidity and bad behavior. ---

I _knew_ there had to be a valid purpose for those camera phones! Pardon me for a while. I’m going to the store. ---

About the phone panty shots: The YMCA has banned those phones just because of that reason, actually. And i like the occasional panty shot. ---

Some schools had more than one floor , so while they were walking upstairs ahead of you , there would be a window of oppurtunity , to view the stars. Declan ---

Where I grew up, they made us wear uniforms, which was a short dress with a pleated skirt. :mad: ---

I never ever wore skirts until I was in university. Too tomboyish. And if I did wear one, I would have had no inkling that anyone would even want to look up it. (Blame adolescant girl insecurity, I guess.) But this leads me to another question: what is it about men and ‘beaver shots’? What can you actually see except a little flash of cotton? I guess it’s the fun of seeing something you’re not supposed to. But I still can’t see how my underpants would be interesting to anyone. I mean, it’s far less than you’d see if I was wearing a bathing suit. ---

I knew there was a reason I don’t wear dresses/skirts. For petes sake, if you want to see my panties, just ask. ---

Thanks for the grin this morning **misstee** … \* /refrains from asking…\* If a guy never asks, then the answer is always no. If he does ask, at least you have the choice of saying yes or no. I like seeing a flash of panties as much as the next guy, but going out on a _mission_ to take pictures up skirts seems kinda creepy to me. ---

misstee, if you don’t wear dresses or skirts, and someone asks to see your panties, exactly how do you accomodate them? I always found it too hard to look up skirts in school- that’s why I’d lift them up with a ruler as they walked by my desk. ---

I never went on a _mission_ to see mounds of joy. I did, however, enjoy a peep show when presented to me. In 7th grade I remember a girl, Nancy, who wore a short denim skirt, sat in the front row, and sat like a boy… legs spread apart. She went in early one fine day and gave everyone a peep show. Even the other girls were too embarassed to even tell her. Bless them. OMG, i just realized, our teacher was male in that class! what a treat he got! Now that I’m older, i’m actually embarassed for young girls who don’t realize they are giving a peep show in public. I once tried to tell the parent of a 12 yr old that she was _showing_ and i got a scowl and a _what are you doing looking at her down there for?_ stare. After that, I just kept my mouth shut. ---

I mean, it’s far less than you’d see if I was wearing a bathing suit. \*\* Once, during the Disco Days, I got an accidental peek up a (grown) womans skirt. She wasn’t wearing panties. What a disappointment. 😕 There’s no substitute for mystery, I guess. And yes, I think naughtiness enters into it. ---
