… but tattoos, mini skirts, skinny jeans and crop-tops all look better on young, fit, attractive people…
Hey, we were all thinking it… I am just the only one with the guts to say it out loud…

Pouring My Art Out 
Arturo, did you insert your pie(foot) inside your boca(mouth) with this post? It’s a good thing we all love you and don’t take offense. 🙂 🙂
It is a good thing.
Well my tattoo might look better on someone younger and thinner than me but until they work out the science it is stuck on me 😀 plus if you are looking at the tattoo it will distract you from the 6 inch scar down my back where I had my spinal surgeries which to be honest I was younger and thinner before I had that
now I want to get a six inch scar tattoo on my back…
Reblogged this on barclaydave and commented:
While these aren’t my opinions they are valid (I think)!
I never know if any of my opinions are valid…
All your opinions are valid, never doubt that. I may disagree with you but that’s nothing to do with your opinions being right or wrong.
I am curious how you can disagree with me when I didn’t actually offer an opinion or take a side at all. I just pointed out that some people are judging. And some are laughing to themselves. I guess I might have used the word inappropriate which might seem to indicate I have an opinion on the fact there are times when what you wear should reflect the situation… like going to church wearing only a g-string. But even then I wasn’t saying people shouldn’t do it… just telling them that more people are judging them than are acting like they are.
In my humble opinion, everyone of us has different tastes. You are entitled to yours as I am entitled to mine. If I choose to have a tattoo, or indeed wear a miniskirt then no one will tell me, knowing that it looks ridiculous, that I can’t get away with it anymore. I’m no longer clean shaven, shaved arms and legs so wouldn’t do it from that perspective, that isn’t the point. I don’t subscribe to the view that we should grow old with graceful acceptance. As this isn’t my blog I will point out that not everyone is the same and I embrace that.
I don’t disagree with the right to dress like that, I am just asking the question whether most of us are secretly judging the person even while hypocritically pretending we aren’t.
I’m still not with you but, yes, I think some will judge it inappropriate.
We will just have to settle for that,
Amen brother.
yay
Actually I’ve never thought that. I get a kick out of the world being many interesting flavours. If I see a chick at Wally world with her ass hanging out of her shorts I say the same thing whether she’s young, fit or fat and older makes no difference
You are a better person than me… maybe… sort of hard to tell the way you said that… HA!
Oh I have plenty of other things to feel guilty about. 😛
I just don’t get why people are uptight about what others wear. As long as they don’t pass a law telling me what to wear 🙂
I am not judging it on their right to do it, just their judgment on doing it
Fairy nuff. For the record I don’t think a mini skirt would suit you
I certainly have the legs for it
DO NOT APOLOGIZE! This is your blog and you can voice any opinion you choose. If the rest of us don’t agree, we can go elsewhere. Anyone who knows you at all knows that you don’t have a hurtful bone in your body. Besides, if Dick Cheney can take it, so can we.
As for your opinion, I agree. When I was a teen I looked smoking hot in the clothes you described. Even though I can still fit into those same clothes (mostly) at age 43, it doesn’t mean they flatter me the way they once did. That doesn’t bother me one bit, because the past 30 years have shaped me into a woman I can be proud of as opposed to a girl with only her face and figure to offer. Any woman who gets bent over your post probably hasn’t matured enough to put a value on anything other than the size of her ass.
And for the record, my guy would take a classy Salma Hayek over a slutty Kim Kardashian any day.
uh… thanks… and I am proud that I have matured to the point where I am not going to make a joke about your line; ‘Any woman who gets bent over your post’… HA!!! I kill me… and thanks.. have I ever mentioned that I really like you?
bent over a sofa would be more comfortable
I am all about the comfort…
Ha! I just reread that! I am hilarious!
yeah you are
OK Art, I think I teased you enough by sidetracking your post into things you never said in the post… you’re right,.. EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING AND NOTHING at all look better on young fit attractive people… I saw the tags and tried to run with your joke but I think somebody took me seriously and soooo … sorry!
these things happen… and it might get worse now… ha
Ohhhhh noesssss, hopefully they realize you are a comedian and take time to read the tags.
one can only hope… I get away with some crazy stuff here… HA
That’s cause you have those adorable squirrels and such.
they are cute
And young… and fit so LOL they can wear anything and still look good. Bwah ha ha ha ha
I still ask that they dress appropriately
Yessir ask and you shall recieve…. or maybe get punched in the face but hey you’ll still be receiving something.
I been punched in the face by professionals…
Awwww so that’s what happened… I did wonder… just a bit.
sigh again
A few summers ago, I saw a beautiful young woman who had a lovely tattoo on her left breast. It was a delicate hummingbird and it was really pretty. But by the time she’s my age, it’s gonna look like a turkey vulture.
see… that is all I mean…
LOL speaking of turkey vultures where can I find that post with the photo of you and all your monsters and stuff on it?
wait… which one?
Nevermind, I found it
yay
Hey, Art – please come to my house and tell that to my 47-year-old next-door neighbor who likes to sun herself topless in the back yard. She thinks she looks 16, but she doesn’t.
I am on my way
Wow, I would have thought the crack squirrels would have cleaned out all the media brainwashing by now… sucks to be a slave to what the media says is purty… poor old guy. I’ll order up a power hose for ya and send it to the squirrels … maybe it’s not too late for you yet.
I am not buying in to the idea of what the media or the cosmetic companies say… but there is still right and wrong…
I remember when I was a child and made a lovely weed arrangement only to have it tossed out because it wasn’t really flowers… who decides what is lovely? Either we do… or we let others tell us. I always have to be contrary so I look for beauty in places others tell me aren’t really pretty.
my mom says a weed is any plant you don’t want in your garden
So then okra and green peas are officially weeds? Cooool!!
they are if you say they are
Yippeeee!
yup
Oh well damn, I guess this means I won’t be the first fat white guy to rock the tattooed mini-skirt, skinny jeans, and crop-top ensemble. 😦
No you won’t be first, but you’ll undoubtedly be the best.
good answer
I have seen it plenty of times… but I live in California…
I’ll have all my tattoos removed immediately! Well… maybe after all the men my age stop wearing ball hats to cover their bald-spots, track pants outside of their home and “crocs” as acceptable footwear…
Nooo, keep them, the old guys with bald-spots covered by caps and track pants and crocs are hot!! Don’t let the media convince you otherwise… Art went out shopping and the evil gremlins hijacked his blog. He’ll be back and then he’ll agree with me… well maybe he’ll agree about you keeping the tats and not likely about the hot old guys… but to each his own, right?
LOL! 🙂
sigh… I will be doing an apology post very soon…
okay… I need to do a follow up apology post obviously…
Ha ha I’m liking this one. It’s funny
wait till you see the next one
oops… if I made this sound in any way as if I was focusing on women, then I made a huge mistake… men are perpetrators of some of the worst offenses of this sort as you rightly point out.
That be the True True 😉 and I was totally being tongue-in-cheek.
ha… and I just did a really long post that started as an apology and might end up getting me in real trouble… uh oh…
ahhh… now you have to read the new post and tell me if I am going to hell…
Ahh, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Beautifully said.
I may have mad a strategic error with that post
LOL no you’re right, pretty much everyone thinks it because that’s what the media tells us to think I’m half way through a post about just that but it’s sitting in a folder and has been for at least a month.
Well I just wrote a really long post that started as an apology and ended up being worse… let me know if I blew it… ahhhhhhhhhh
I would rather beholding an eye
Eyes are slimy and kinda icky but they’re really tough and rubbery so you can bounce them if you like…. but they don’t bounce well… all wobbly and such… don’t ask how I know that,,, you don’t want to know.
uh… okay…
