57-year-old has fashion sense: www.theaustralian.com.au/.../story-e6frg6so-1226117947666 I linked to the Australian article because it calls Speedos budgie smugglers.

  • That said, society seems kind of odd that men (good looking or otherwise) should not wear speedos after a certain age, but good looking women should hang out in as much flesh as possible for as long as possible. There's really not a double standard in this regard. I don't think most people want to see men or women in revealing swimwear beyond a certain age. I do think there's a double standard in this country that it's OK for young women to wear bikinis as beachwear, but not OK for men to wear budgie smugglers. I wouldn't wear Speedo briefs to the beach, either, but it is a double standard.
