THE CULOTTE SWIMMER

The original culotte swimmer is modest swimwear for the more active swimmer. This design has a body fitting undergarment made of Spandex for maximum flexibility. And the looser fitting taslan scoop-necked romper outer garment gives a stylish modest look.

Yup. Very Spenglerian.

Pepe and AI, this is very depressing indeed.

what better evidence that the family values/moral majority crowd are conspiring with the taleban to ruin it for the rest of us ?

For some reason, the "family-values/moral majority" crowd is the bogeyman of the Left, onto which they just love to project their deepest mental anguishes. Of course, this has nothing (or almost nothing) to do with reality, and it's far easier to blame it all on some decent folks that won;t lift a finger in response, than on the real baddies, who would chop yur head.

Having said that, I don't think this has much to do with the Left's bogeyman. Looks to me more like the Mother Earth, Bierkenstock-clad, don't-shave-your-armpits, vegan and granola bars crowd. They tend to be much more hollier-than-though than anyone in the moral majority.

you obviously don't live in the South...

No, but I travel there occasionally, especially to that French ex-colony by the mouth of the Mississippi River. Didn't see much Bierkenstock-clad fellas there, except a couple in the faculty lounges. Actually, I'm thinking of going back to la Nouvelle Orléans in January, but I don't know how safe it is -- is it still under water, or did they manage to pump it out already?
