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

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.
