Please may I boast?
When I was in my 20s I might have been called sexy in a sort of hippy beads and heaving bosoms type way.
OK, Kate, that is absolutely the funniest thing I've read in years, and I completely identify...just yesterday I told a 20-yr-old coworker about my hippy college girl self heaving her bosom at a tough art professor so that he'd give me a better grade...
At the store today, an American cousin of the grey haired, good looking businessman asked me for help in buying men's blue jeans (about which I know nothing). I said, "I'm sorry, if it were women's lingerie, I'd be much more helpful," and sent him off to talk to someone better qualified to help, at the opposite end of the store. Ten minutes later, that fellow was back with his blue jeans and spent ten more minutes chatting with me in what I eventually realized was a flirtatious fashion! It was one of those moments when I wanted to look behind me to make sure he wasn't talking to another, prettier, sexier, more glamorous, and possibly younger woman, but I was the only one there! So I know exactly how you felt at that meeting yesterday!
