Coincidence: I silently shared the waiting room at the Saab dealership with a woman today. Arriving home, I ascended the stairs and there was that same woman descending hers. We live in the same building. Our lives are separated by lath and plaster.

Victim: The waitress is young and clean. She is obviously a college student. She is smart. She takes her schooling seriously and has optimistic plans for her future. She is very pretty. She has short blonde hair cut to just above the shoulder. It curves forward at the tips to accent the ears and jaw. Her hair has shine from good nutrition and the proper product application. She wears a navy blue polo shirt. It fits closely about her frame. She is very petite with small hips and waist. In all these things she is serving herself well. From hence that service departs. She wears faded pink pants down below her tight lower abdomen (she must jog or run to keep such a tight tummy and clean line above the hips.). They are soft and comfortable. They are low wasted. I see the slope of her belly curving down through the cavity of the pelvis making a pretty arc poised in the valley of the crests of her hipbones. Even this is not so bad. A girl can bring herself a few extra dollars slinging a pinch of flesh before her patrons. Where the image sours though is the strip of her pubes visible above the waistband. I am no prude. I enjoy the expanse of smooth youthful skin that low-cut waistbands provide. I imagine what lies beneath and the feel of skin that cannot be seen. I wouldn..t have seen the little strip of her trimmings if I hadn..t been taking my fill of the view. But that is expressly the point. Men are going to survey and if this little waitress appears not in control of what she lets be seen I fear it undermines her active mind, her style, her genuine attractiveness. This girl is wearing low-slung pants because they are the fashionable thing. Did those pants have a warning label, ..NOTICE, YOU MAY BE MORTIFIED TO KNOW THE GENTLEMEN AT TABLES TWO AND EIGHT JUST SAW WHAT YOUR BOYFRIEND WAITED SIX DATES TO SEE... I wouldn..t expect them to. What happened to the graceful lady, aware and attentive of the details? I guess our little waitress could have been the graceful lady were it not for her little wardrobe malfunction. I resolved to tell her what she was airing but the opportunity didn..t arise. Hopefully she..ll notice tonight in the privacy of her bathroom. Hopefully she can convince herself no one was watching.
