Last semester I was in the parking lot at school when I spotted a woman walking down a nearby aisle. At first it looked like she was topless but then as she came closer it turned out she was wearing a flesh-colored shirt. The bizarre thing about this shirt was for all intents and purposes it looked like two cloth bags sewn together with straps/laces/whatever that tied in the back. The woman was fairly buxom, and had no bra on. Watching her stroll past on a cold December morning had me so distracted I accidentally locked my keys in my car. It was as if her shirt was painted on; I was rather surprised at how form-fitting it was. What the hell are these shirts? It wasn’t even bra-like in its functionality; as she walked by she was bouncing all over the place. I should reiterate that it was quite cold that morning as well. ---

Since no one’s asked for this, I suppose I’ll have to be the first: I’ve never heard of such a shirt, do you have a cite? Particularly one with lots of photographic evidence? ---

I wish- I suppose I should have put this in GQ but I didn’t think anyone would take it seriously (apparently nobody has anyway ☹ ) It was very provocative looking; and the color of the shirt made her honestly look topless. I guess with college and all, people are more apt to express themselves, but this was a significant jaw-dropper for me. ---

You know there are websites out there where people paint up women as if they were wearing clothes and then having them walk about in public and photographing them. … I have nothing else to add. ---
