Make it Tawdry

10/13/2018

 
A few days ago I was commenting on the local coffee place. This place has a sign that says "Topless—Seven days a week". I've seldom found that this is true. Many times when I go by I see cars/truck etc that block any view of the barista. When I can see the barista she is not topless. BUT a few days ago one of the baristas was leaning out of the window and was topless. She had some black tape on her breast. I was horrified in that she was like a striper in a show. Later I was relating this to a female colleague (not my wife) and she put it in perspective. She said about the tape: "They made something very beautiful tawdry."  And she went on to comment that "what is natural is beautiful." I have to agree that what is natural presented in the right way is always beautiful. My experience is that few breasts come with black tape on them.
​How beautiful that barista could have been, but  how tawdry she was.
