So, I’m at a foncy launch thingy (industry term), and the invitees are a mix of youngies (under 25) and oldies (over 35) and I notice an interesting metric.

For the foncy dinner, everyone’s made the effort, but as I’m admiring the shhtyle, I can’t help but note the youngies are all wearing extremely revealing clothes.
