How we present ourselves with decoration tells a story. With some it is a lovely story, with others a mystery, and for others it is a for sale sign..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is an overall affect. Dolly Parton used her cleavage to draw attention to herself but that couldn't cover her sweetness, charm and warmth. She was never tawdry to me.

I think what is being discussed is how people of our age might perceive that another is dangerous or at least suspicious.

I do profile. Most people do. They should. We cannot defend ourselves or run as fast as we once could. We have to make judgments about others on their appearance. It would be dangerous not too.

But I frequently profile when I look into a crinkly pair of older eyes smiling at me too.

Bump.

How you feel about body decorations is a matter of your own personal taste. Naturally we all secretly think WE have good taste.
