The Miniskirt Panacea

Yesterday I Googled "denim miniskirt" to make sure my character wouldn't be committing a major fashion faux pas by wearing one, and I came across a Thai site extolling the virtues of the garment for one and all.

Oddly enough, the page is entitled, "Mini Skirt: over-rated or not? Can all girls wear mini skirts?"

Answer: yes. Fat, skinny, old, young, sun-loving, sun-phobic--they all look good. Not surprising coming from what seems to be some kind of Jeans Information Bureau of Thailand. But even given their agenda, their copy seemed over-the-top.

First,

With summer temperatures rising more each year and the number of sunny days increasing, there really is no other garment that provides more comfort for a women, than a miniskirt does.

Yes! An up side to global warming! Hearing this, men everywhere will buy Hummers and leave them running all night long to hasten this cataclysmic climatic event.

Next,

Price wise a tight skirt can provide a shopper with some financial relief as well.

By this I hope they mean the dude at the car lot will cut you a deal if you dress alluringly. Or maybe they just mean that a smaller amount of fabric saves you money on detergent.

But I think they mean "financial relief" in a more direct way. For you new girls, I believe the going rate is $75-$200, depending which street corner you stand on.

Third,

Based of the production costs and materials, a short mini skirt or hotpants is the cheapest item any denim garments manufacturer can produce, next to denim wallets.

And the denim condom cozies, which you'll need for your financial relief efforts.
