Clothes Never Shut Up

"Judgements," by Rosea Posey

[Description of photo: Legs of a young woman wearing a black skirt. She is lifting one side of her skirt high. We can read labels written at various heights on her leg, suggesting different skirt lengths, starting high on the thigh and ending on the lower calf: "Whore, slut, asking for it, provocative, cheeky, flirty, proper, old fashioned, prudish, matronly."]

“Who said that clothes make a statement? What an understatement that was. Clothes never shut up.” –Susan Brownmiller
