Now it Skirts that are too tight and short

I loved this from my daily calendar today.  We’ve all seen these people.  They’re everywhere.

Edgar Degas couldn’t stand women who were past their prime yet insisted on wearing clothes appropriate for young girls.  At one dinner party, he was seated next to an older woman attired in a gown with bare shoulders and a plunging neckline.  The horrified Degas couldn’t drag his eyes from the sight.  Apparently, the lady noticed his scrutiny.  Suddenly confronting him, she demanded, “Are you staring at me?”  “Good lord, Madame,” he replied, “I wish I had the choice.”

Of course, Degas was most famous for his portraits of dancers.  Young dancers.

Do you feel a little comforted that the ghastly fashions of cougars everywhere is apparently not a 21st century development?
