Women

Flashed

Yesterday, I swung by a girly store to look for some negligee for a friend who is getting married.  As I browsed the skivvies, a woman came up to me and pointed to a particular bra. “This one looks SO GOOD on,” she declared. “Excellent!” I replied.  And… awkward? I thought.  Because who likes to…
