Lu an 227-1152 It disappeared almost 20 years ago to the mildewed sections of the fashion closet but the mini -skirt ap- pears to be making a big comeback. And I, for one, would like to see it go back into the closet. Call me old-fashioned. Call me a prude. Call me stupid or chauvinistic but I do not like the mini -skirt. 1 did not like it 20 years ago and I do not like it now. News item: There's no skirting the issue. The mini is firmly,established on the fashion runways this year. Ver- sace in Milan, Ungaro in Paris, Klein in New York are all supporting the super -mini. Super -mini? It is so small, there is - not enough material to make a pad for a Band-Aid. Gianfranco Ferre presented his version and it was so short, it didn't cover the buttocks. This isn't style. It's stupidity. Why, oh why, do so many women pay so much attention to these fashion designers? No wonder the designers are seen by the macho males as automatically gay. The machos suspect that designers never really look at a woman and see her as delightfully feminine. The designers, the fashion trend- setters, must surely see women in a different Tight. "For women Who care about clothes, it's all short,"said designer Calvin Klein. "It makes young women feel sexy and women over 40 feel younger and look more modern." But what does it do for women'? I think it makes them sex objects. Look, gals, you have been fighting to get out of that atmosphere for years and now you are crawling right back into the'same place. You want me to look you in the eye at the work place yet you do everything you legally can to get me looking elsewhere. You ex pect me to treat you as an equal yet you flaunt your womanhood and give me hell because I act like a man. 1 enjoy the healthy blush of rosy cheeks but I want those cheeks to be on your face. If you catch me starting in surprise with an idiot's jaw sway- ing in the breeze, it is because 1 will never come to terms with seeing in public what should be seen only in (he privacy of a bedroom. I see myself as a liberated male. 1 can use a vacuum cleaner. I can make beds, fill -- and empty -- the dishwasher better than most women. I canscrubfloors and sort a wash. I can cook eggs in 10 different ways. But this new man has not advanc- ed to the piont where a woman's physical endowments can be ignored. I need all the help I can get to remain Letters are abbreviated by Bob ironer Etda+e Rd E'moat On, 113B IC ) .00 on this path to equality and your mini- skirts will only delay me and cause all kinds of detours. You cannot really want equality when you revert to a lewd fashion that bordered on the obscene 17 years ago. It has not, believe me, improved with age. It is just as disgusting now to see a woman constantly tugging uncom- fortably at her hemline to conceal her "undies as it was in 1970. I find it easy to admire a long skirt with -a feminine slit at the back or sides because it excites my imagina- tion. It enhances the mystery of a -woman. The mini -skirt, on the other hand, leaves so little to the imagination that the mystery is solved before the book is written. It was, I think, Gypsy Rose Lee, the world's most famous striptease artist a generation ago, who said that bare flesh bores men. She was right. Call me a prude if you must but I love long skirts. They make a woman a lady.
