[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland]  
Listen bub, the only man that would say that a top which artfully displays a woman’s breasts, is “ugly” is either lying or gay. Immodest, I can see. Scandalous? Sure, why not. Ugly? I don’t think so.  
[/QUOTE]  
I disagree. What about the ones that do not handle their tasks artfully? I have seen–and I am not going to link to it here–some remarkably ugly tops meant to display certain physical attributes of some remarkably-attractive women.

Since I’m always embarrassed when people comment on my looks (in particular my hair), I tend not to say anything about anyone else’s. A former office mate started growing out his beard in a Grizzly Adams style, and everyone who came into our office felt the need to say something. Our boss even ribbed him about it. Eventually, I think dealing with all of that made him cut it. I felt a little sad for him, because I liked his scraggly beard. I don’t think he was prepared for dealing with unsolicited responses, because otherwise he had a conventional look.
