Thanks to Titz for that PSA.  Remember ladies, only you can prevent non-bralessness.  

Also, my favorite thing aout summer is having a perfect, ready-made excuse to either go outside (the sun) or to not go outside (the heat) whenever the mood strikes me.

i always wear a bra out. cos i dont like horny toads staring at me.

i never wear a bra. bring on the toads.

well, I guess that's where peter and I part ways...

vix...i like that an adjective is one of your fave things

Should we just go ahead and steer this thread directly into sex? It's drifting that way already...

Favorite Summertime Sex-things....

Because really, everyone is in season in the summertime.

If you're doing it right, dry humping in the summertime isn't really all that 'dry.'

ya'll are funny. oh, don't worry about me i'm fine, always have a good time.
But I hate summer.  I like the dry heat.

I kind of hate that blast of cold air, because you know they're passing their overhead cost for all the energy they're wasting into their prices OR they're short-changing their workers. Plus, it's bad for the planet and junk.

I'm totally Debbie Downer today.

No you're not!
In a city that's supposed to be (or should be) progressive, the AC wasting blast is inexcusable. Inexcusable either way. It's sickening.

Soft shell crabs and corn on the cob, plus bbq and summer dresses on hot chicks

SHOUTOUT TO PANTIES!!!

love:
long days
fort tilden beach
driving upstate to kelder farm to go berry and vegetable picking
robert moses beach
drinking outside

don't like:
boys in flip flops
balmy subway smells
seeing women's armpits

-- Leaving work when it's still light (sometimes)

-- Movies in Bryant Park

-- Riding the Cyclone

-- Watching the heat shimmer off the tar on the rooftops

-- Short skirts

-- Backless dresses

-- Strapless dresses

-- Sunhats

-- Gams

-- Ankles

-- Calves

-- Collarbones

-- Finding myself way downtown for whatever reason, or in Red Hook, or Brighton Beach, and noticing the salt air when there is a sea breeze

-- Going into the subway a couple days after a heatwave, it's still warm like an oven down there, even though the air up top is now cool (or vice versa after there has been a cold snap)

-- The smell of barbecue in Prospect Park

-- Shakespeare in the Park

-- Old men in beach chairs on the sidewalks, listening to the game on a transistor radio from the seventies

-- Community gardens

-- Roller skates along the west side highway

-- the Boat Basin Cafe

-- Uncle Louie G's

-- drinking a beer at the Heckescher Ballfields Cafe, watching the normal rockwell scene (plus skyscrapers)

-- sleeping in sheep meadow

-- (new!) taking the ferry to governor's island with a picnic lunch

Boys in flip flops (or any sandals unless they're at the actual beach) is grody. Major.

"Walking the Earth" is more like it.

as for the jokers that don't like dudes in sandals - what do you suggest we wear in 90+ degree heat?  SOCKS and sandals?  how about socks and sneakers?  better yet socks and Crocs?  Jesus, get a clue, it's the only footwear that doesn't make you look like you're from Taiwan.  I HATE SOCKS and at the first hint of 60 degrees I am in sandals.  

BTW - just got a new pair for my birthday:

kaikaisandal.com

best sandals ever!

I love the increase in daylight hours.

That's about it, really.

I'm not in the city for the summer!! This makes me sad.

But things I love about summer in my wooded Jersey home....

Sitting outside listening to the birds
Sitting outside reading
Canoeing down the river
Skinny dipping in friend's pools
Barefoot on my grass and not having to worry about pesticides
The fresh, local produce, especially tomatoes and blueberries. Mmm
Driving with the windows down
Walking half naked around my house when no one is around (also braless)
Eating tons of popsicles
Being in the woods with just myself and a notebook
Warm rains

I'm sure there is more...I'm not really that upset I'm not in the city for summer
