Today, it seems, was the last day of summer for us Vancouverites. A Pineapple Express is forecasted to begin Thursday. (The dreaded “Pineapple Express” is any rain-bearing system that wanders up our way from the Hawaiian Islands. Usually packed with days and days of hard rains.)
Knowing it’s the end of something good, I decided today was the ideal day to wear a short skirt on the scooter for the last time this year. There’s something about careening at high speeds with warm fresh air breezing straight between your legs.
I waxed poetic about how lovely it would be on Twitter, and started getting peer pressure to post a photo or two.
I’ve never been the type to post photos of myself, mostly because of my stance on appearances being somewhat dubious in general, and also because I want to be read for my words, not because someone thinks it’s cleavage-shot-day or whatever the fuck. Enough people are on that train, why should I jump on too?
But I suppose it’s something of webevolution, you know? If one dug through archived pages of this blog, they could probably find a picture I posted a long, long time ago before I decided I wasn’t going to go down that road.
Today, though, like I say. I felt like acquiescing to some peer pressure. I wouldn’t start expecting this of me. It’s just not my style. Everyone changes, though, so I’m not ruling it out, either.
I thought this was a better angle that it’s turned out to be, but here’s what you get — me and my legs on me scoot before the last sunshiney warm day of summery bliss before the onslaught of a long, wet Vancouver winter.
Let’s call it Half-Naked Tuesday, shall we?

Sounds like a gorgeous day. And what kind of scooter? I’ve had friends that have been obsessed with their Vinos. *grin*
Sexy! :) Love those shoes, too!
hot stuff, especially knowing how much work you have put into those gams ;)
Panther– It’s a Vino from 2003. I have 30,000 kilometres on it. We’re trying to make it last at least double the “rated” factory life of 25,000k. Ha. Ever the environmentalist.
But it fucking rocks, yes. Even with duct tape all over the seat.
I posted a pic on my journal blog last night: http://thelastditch.blogspot.com/2008/09/some-pictures-from-today.html
Samantha: Thanks! Got them on sale — regularly $110 for $25. Steal, no? :)
A– Thanks! They looked better a month or so ago, but they’ll be awesome before long on Da Stairs. Thighs like a vise grip, I tell ya.
I love you writing, but I'm all about the visuals and short skirts…take more pictures! ;->
Nice legs!
