I really love this festive photo from the news

Some are up in arms at these bra-baring college students in England but this photo captures a wonderful balance between beauty, youth and boldness while remaining within the bounds of good taste.

I admire the way it represents feminine variety in a non-sexual-yet-visually-pleasing way.  They’re college kids on a break from school who each boldly (drunkenly?) took the dare to show their pretty undergarments in a group photo.

Sexuality isn’t exactly oozing from the frame, nor are there any nearby males to perhaps alter the tone of the photographic offering.  I like, also, that none of the women are particularly busty and that keeps attention more on the variety of women pictured and not so much on the bosomy offerings of any individual.

Their bras comprise a wonderful color combo of various sizes with each subject remaining somewhat random in her semi-anonymity.

Maybe this photo came about for having been motivated by alcohol and by men, but it is pleasant and light-hearted in a way that inspires me.

I can’t even see enough particulars about any of the women pictured to assure me that I’d want to bed any one over all the rest and that, too, further assures me that their complete variety basically "makes" the whole photo.

Unfortunately, in the world of working girls one can’t really expect to find spirits as vibrant and upbeat as those in this photo seem to be.  I’ve no doubt known ladies of the evening whose physical appeal somewhat approximates that of various women pictured here, but I never anticipate meeting a working girl as high-spirited as are the subjects in this photo.

I love how the picture makes eyes want to survey and document every little detail about each of the women in the frame while not stopping to dwell for very long on anybody.  These women are a good match to one another and I hope that many of them are close friends in real life.

Although these women aren’t voluptuous, I can’t say enough about their various physiques or about the random collection of bras showing.  (kudos to mothers who advise:  "always wear sexy underwear")

This group metaphorically represents most any group of women.  The appeal in any group of friends like this is the variety they collectively represent.

Can you imagine this bunch of girls if instead of sharing this fun moment each decided to critique and assess the physical attributes of others in the group?

You’d then see nothing but self-conscious looks, reluctant smiles, and a giant vibe of insecurity sweeping over them. 

When seeing this group pictured as they are my mind doesn’t race to the idea of cupping any of those breasts, but I envy the chance to be in the company of women who seem so comfortable with themselves as to have shared this photo with one another.

Again, I’m well aware that alcohol may have fueled the whole potentially accidental work of feminine art.

(at least the winter theme is appropriate for the bulk of the U.S. in late January)
