Morning TAN

 

Anybody got a van I cam borrow and drive across the country?

Head race coming up this weekend should be fun!!!  My crew wants me to wear pink and black argyle knee socks with black spandex shorts and a red, black and white tank.  I have told them Hades will become exothermic first.   What say you TAN?

Pink and red clash. I'd say nooooo.

Thank You!!!

Plus no way am I wearing knee sock with shorts.

I told them I would be OK to wear compression sleeves but not argyle socks!

I got roped into that "costume" for a mud run we did. I wore compression shorts under my "sexy sailor" shorts. And I did the knee socks. It was awful. I have. Pic in my BT album. I felt foolish dressed that way.

You were concerned with being stylish for a mud run? 

I wasn't. It was a fun thing. Dirty Girls race series. Teams. They all dress up. But our outfits were to exposed for me. I'd of worn a tutu over my running tights. But short shorts for rolling in the mud? No.

This is actually a question I wonder about.  There is always some tension between exhibitionism and decorum.  Some titles like"Dirty Girls Races" tilts titillatingly close to the former.  There seems to be a dare to be the most daring or the most creative about being daring.  I wonder how other people resolve this tension and how they decide the level to participate.  There is a range.

Did anyone google Fantasy Fest last night?  I did.  Some costumes went about as far to the exhibitionist side as possible.  Age and weight did not seem to dictate restraint.

They were only testing you for their Mud Wrestling Team.

Well we will have no mud to partake of but I am sure we will be plenty wet when all is said and done.

*Hmmmmmm, now what does she mean??*

??? Never heard of it.  Is this going beyond "crunches"?

Attention seeking behavior is attention seeking behavior in a race or on the internet or elsewhere.  Women garner the most attention by displaying their sexuality.  Far too many still see that as their most powerful attribute.

Very demented. I'm sitting in bed with compression socks on and much delighted with myself

Exhibitionism seems to convey fun" and adventurousness.  Decorum indicates good judgment and self awareness.  Both desirable traits.  There is an optimum but usually people go all out one way or the other.   Optimization is a too difficult math problem I suppose.

TJ was looking for her optimum.  Good strategy I would say.

ETA:  Perhaps "modesty" is a better word than "decorum" for the trait opposite of exhibitionism. 

Just compression socks??  Woooo Hooo Party at Yanti's!

You know what is great about TAN?

I agree, there is also a certain amount of practicality that needs to be present when considering something like a run outfit.  That seems to be another thing that goes by the wayside from time to time.  I do think as you get older the more you are concerned with the practicality of the outfit than you are with the exhibitionism of the outfit.  This seems to come more from experience than anything else.  If you have had to deal with the after effect of poor outfit choices the less likely you are to make those choices again.

I loph you too, Phavorite Phil. Always.

But the reality is ..we all do it. Be it at a race...out on the town ...on the Internet ...in TAN. Dressing a certain way or talking a certain way. Flirting on the interwebs. I think it's just human nature and always a choice to participate or not.

I totally agree.  But, it goes beyond a binary choice of whether to participate or not.  There is a question of limiting behavior, participating up to a certain point, and how far to go before the behavior is viewed as inappropriate.

My question in general is just how other people resolve that question, even how conscious they are of the choice.  Fascinating stuff I tell you.

Yes and we all have our levels of comfort.  It seems your level of comfort was subordinate to a desire for conformity.  That is another trade off we make from time to time and again to our own level of comfort.

You, in my book, always, Meh Meh.

Example:  Back in 1983, I graduated H.S., was 18, and my brother-in-law (who was in the Navy and went overseas) brought me a pair of "British briefs" (the skin-tight, just-about-smaller-than-Speedos undies with the British flag on them).  I wore them during an airband contest.  I won.
Would I do that again now, even though I still have the same body shape and kid mentality?  Probably not, due to the fear of the Interwebz and smartphones with cameras on them.

Howdy, Sir Cursey.

And dear Kate, yes, just comp socks ... although I did put on a little batik minidress because I was cold.

That is a very individual question as it has to do with comfort levels and personality of the individual. 

There are those who are more willing to subordinate their own selves to the will of others and some where that is less the case.  There are just so many things that go into it that it is a very complex process which yes does make it a fascinating study.
