I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Today the tops of my boots are closer to my knees than the hem of my skirt. In opposite directions.

Calf boots with long skirt? From context I'm thinking not. Thigh high boots with miniskirt? Or am I misinterpreting?

I could really use a diagram.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Miniskirt and calf boots. The boots come to 1" below the knee, the skirt ends 3 or 4" above the knee.

Yeah, the opposite direction thing confused me too. I know there's a way to say it, but I haf no brain. Monday ate it.

Opposite directions from the knee. Got it now. What you said was probably perfectly clear to anyone who isn't me, I just got stuck thinking about it wrong way round.

The whole "tramp stamp" thing annoys the heck out of me. Putting a tattoo on my body, lower back or not, is not about YOU, people. (Not talking to you all, obviously--talking about the general "you" who assume all women with lower back tats are trampy.) I think lower back tattoos are beautiful, not to mention easy to hide.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

if I can see the top of your ass crack, it's trampy.

I think that with or without a tattoo.

Good gods, yes. And WTF is so "Raunch Culture" about the word "chick"?? Though I do agree with Levy's assertion here:

"A tawdry, tarty, cartoon-like version of female sexuality has become so ubiquitous, it no longer seems particular."

I bet there are women who are stamping their trampness. The big failure comes when people pretend they know all of them are.

Then again, tattoos are lower class trashy, only for the unemployable, yadda yadda. They seem to be a really easy thing for people without them (or the particular style/location) to decide they know all about.

I do know a woman with a lower-back tattoo that says "bullseye". She's way trampy (and would be without said tattoo).

Yes, exactly.

I need lunch. French fries are calling me. I ought to resist their siren song.
