Rich -- They seem meant for the luckier 14 year olds, don't they? Hard to imagine many grownup women looking their best in them.

Peter -- I think your comment could use "definitely" in place of "more or less" ... Funny how the kids (at least of a certain class) seem to take the necessity of extreme pubic grooming for granted, isn't it? Some youngster was explaining to me a diff between the youths and the oldies this way: That kids expect cameras to be everywhere, always. We oldies tend to think that we'll be asked about it, and that being snapped or taped is a kind of special thing. While these kids were all videotaped being born, and there have always been mobs of cameras pointed at them. So it's a simple necessity of life that you better be ready for it -- "it" meaning upskirt-shots, bad-side shots, etc. Seems plausible to me. I notice that when I take the digicam out, oldies tend to go on alert. They fluff up, they pose, then they want me to put it away. Youngsters just take it for granted. The camera's on, it's not, it's all the same to them. Do you notice this too?
