So, when I go out for a power walk, I wear white or yellow at night so that I'm not flattened by a truck driver checking his text messages. For a power swim, assuming I had got the breathing-while-face-is-in-water thing down, the attire would be streamlined one piece to avoid mooning unsuspecting bathers. But what's up with the warrior princess attire? You never see a warrior princess dressed sensibly to do battle with Forces of Evil, Romans, Vikings, etc. From my observations, warrior princesses and queens tend to prefer the take-me-now-on-this-horse look. They are always dressed slutty, and have a lot of torn leather going on. Do they wake up in the morning and go "The Romans are taking over our village, we must repel the attack, where's my push-up bra?" Are they thinking "After we have neutralized the forces of evil and saved Pangea, I hope to get lucky with whoever is left standing, better make an effort here"? I just saw the show about Boudica, Warrior Queen of Britain circa 60 A.D.,
on the History Channel (!) and even on that channel she was with the torn leather, the miniskirt, plunging neckline, push-up, etc., It is cold and rainy there most of the year, though Boudica
was getting a lot of exercise. But how can you be driving chariots and throwing spears in that getup? I sit at a computer all day and think twice about wearing the slightest open neckline as I wouldn't want people getting a glimpse of what's in there in case I have to bang my head on the table during a meeting or something. And a minor heel seriously limits my trips to the coffee machine. But not the warrior princesses, their mind is Fashion First. I do admire their resolve not to neglect their appearances even under extenuating circumstances.
take me now on this horse.
