Jolly nice to hear from an American lady. I’m just making a cup of tea and - would you believe it - it’s starting to rain. (you’ll have to imagine the accent) ---

On the subject of fake nipples and visible nipples… I was reminded of when I first heard about them and how my thought process ran… [thoughts, links, and pictures here](http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=1063594) Personally, I never think about it. I don’t wear a bra… but I only consider boobage when wearing a light colored shirt. Then I wear like a tan camisole underneath. ---

Kathy Lee Gifford was on Conan O’Brian, what was it, friday? Anyway somehow the conversation came around to talking about this and she said that she knows several celebrity women, she wouldn’t name them, who would ‘tweak’ their nipples before coming on her old show. Anything to get people to talk about them huh? ---

Should I? Women of the Victorian age worried about showing an ankle and the effect it would have on men. Women in some Islamic contries worry about showing a hairline, and the effect it will have on men. Me, I live in America in the 21st century and I dress in the same kind of casual uncontructive clothing most men do. Now that summer is coming up I expect to see all kinds of tender young things walking around in loose tank tops WITH THERE NIPPLES ACTUALLY SHOWING! Do I expect these guys to take into acount the effect their nipples have one me? No. I’ll deal with it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lsura \* > > Would you say “naughty” for me? Naturally, a gentleman accedes to a ladies request, even if she sounds a little **naughty** and the previous discussion has been leading onto topics such as **naughty nighties**. Do you know the tuneful melody that illustrates a key difference between our two great countries? (although both have sometimes been rather **naughty** in the past) (clears throat nervously) “You say tomato, I say tomato; you say potato, I say potato; di da di da let’s call the whole thing off!”. (Somehow that doesn’t work as well in print…) ---

You know, just the other day while at work I looked down and realised that they were standing at attention. This is through two shirts mind you. Well, it might have something to do with the fact that I work in a big refridgerator and it is 40 degrees in there all the time. It is the same with me for the most part like what Mistress Dryad said, but you see I work with alot of men. Team that with working third shift, and you get alot of tired freaky people. Lsura, please refrain from having glee say naughty! You have now disrupted my day, and my husband doesn’t get home from work for another six hours. ---

Lsura (and Kricket), please dispel my ignorance. What is so fascinating about an Englishman saying ‘naughty’? 😕 (Oooh, I wasn’t supposed to say that - naughty, naughty me!) (hopefully) Is there anything else I can say? ---

Call me old fashioned, but when I saw all those women on the red carpet at awards shows, in these GORGEOUS slinky dresses with their nipples showing, I dunno…it just seemed tacky. I mean, come on, leave a LITTLE to the imagination! ---

So at last I’ve made an real impression on a woman… and we must be over 3000 miles apart… and it only happened because we’re so far apart that our accents differ… (my brain hurts) ---

I want to make a change to the National Schools Syllabus. Yes, of course it’s important! Well it’s very simple.
