So there i was in the locker room after kickboxing and there were about four to six women in close proximity chatting and .................. okay, sorry to say, not very exciting because no, this does not segue to one of the girls dropping to her knees to taste my pussy.
But what happened is entertaining nonetheless!
i didn't get in on the hubbub as i was doing my quick change into work clothes and suddently i was self-conscious about my bust since i had just heard one of the women exclaim, "YEAH and can you believe it -- I mean, really, its ridiculous! Its like they all wear uniforms! The really short dress up to HERE (and she motioned to where her thigh meets her bum) and the really big boobs and the spike heels and the Chanel purses -- can you believe the Chanel purses, my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
Apparently she had just returned from Vegas.
She may as well have been talking about me (sans the Chanel purse).
She went on (or i guess it better to say, she went off) on the spectacle of these sexy girls and the other women piped in, too. There was a sort of mutual outrage passed around in convivial fashion -- they all had at one time or another seen the same eye candy feast in Vegas. They were united in their scorn and disdain, but it was a polite, giddy sort of snickering. More like giggling or playful gossiping -- all claws were carefully manicured but i suppose they could penetrate all the same if you let them.
i'm wondering if i'm lightening up, feeling less put upon, and if that is why i could see their judgments as fairly innocuous, even innocent. i mean, i didn't feel defensive for a change -- i felt charged! Besides, i've come to realize that lighthearted condemnation relieves envy ... jealousy ... contempt. They need to do this because how else will they explain that real women don't dress sexy.
The soundbytes went something like this:
"i don't even think they were wearing underwear!"
"Oh my GOD! How do you even SIT DOWN without underwear?!!"
"Can you imagine sitting down? Ewwww!"
"Not even a g-string. I was looking! -- I mean I couldn't believe it!"
"My husband was drooling."
"I told my husband, honey, you go ahead and keep enjoying this because when you get back home ......."
"My husband said they were all prostitutes."
"I'm sure some of them ARE prostitutes but I don't think all of them are."
"Can you believe those SHOES?!"
"They're like THIS high! Hookers wear shoes like that."
"I wouldn't even dress like that in my own home!"
"Well, we're kind of conservative." (Ya think?)
"I mean, its really great people watching. I'll say that."
"But they all wear the same thing! -- the REALLY TIGHT dresses ... everyone notices the dresses but I just want to know about those CHANEL PURSES!!!!!!!!!!"
(Break out of big laughter.)
After having gotten over my self-consciousness in that my big boobs image makes me akin to the very girls they're putting down, i then felt compelled to MAKE them look down their noses and roll their eyes into the back of their pretty little privileged heads.
At that very moment, i was PRAYING for the night when i'll be in my SKIMPIEST, TIGHTEST, metallic silver dress with the five inch spikes and my tits and hips jutting out all over the place, my eyes laden to their smokiest sultriest black. GOD, i really want them to see me in my uniform!
i was unbuttoning in the lockerroom, wanting to strip the puritanical down to the pulchritudinous, smack the buttoned-up out of their elitist prudish stupor. They didn't want to applaud their female comarades; instead they needed to pronounce women who are in tune to their sexuality as sluts or deviants ... or, of course, whores. Less threat that way -- if you're marked as above the crowd, you're safe in the pretense, the notions of grandeur, the comfort of seeming good rather than bad.
For some unknown reason, i felt empowered! How so? i was a complete outcast -- not included or looked to for any rah-rah join-the-club two cents. How on earth could i feel good when i was basically one of the women they were talking about?
i guess its because i know that when dirty looks come your way, there is something someone wants that you possess and they don't. Aww well, i'm forgiving ... i'd like to show them that here they are, all of them regulars at kickboxing ... knock-out bodies, dynamite leanness, and the ability to unbutton priggish in favor of celebration. Femaleness and sexuality have been flaunted and glorified since the beginning of time ............. when will they see that sex appeal can be cheap can be chic can be RIGHT IN THEIR FINGERTIPS if they'd just open up their clenched fists.
