I was amazed by the dress Marilyn Monroe is wearing in this week's TIME
magazine article on John Kennedy.  Skin-colored, so skin-tight that it's
depressed around her navel, and clinging to breasts that are breast-shaped.
I showed it to my teenaged sons:  "Whoa!"  Despite all the current glitz,
slits, piercings, and big talk, I think you're right.  I think we were less
uptight about how much showed a generation ago.  But then, maybe that's
what all these big shirts and oversized sweaters are about.  We've gone
back into hiding.  Sigh.

at the time...)
