Michael Sylvester's post is pompous, ludicrous, offensive, and
plain stupid. I wish that Michael could be something other than
the poster boy for wasted intellect.

Anyway,I would like to offer some thoughts on this whole issue of
latina dress and assumed provocative ramifications.Where others
see "provocativity" I see lots of cultural,social,and
motivational factors in the mix.First of all women in the
Americas can be very habilitation conscious.Whereas some American
women will go to K-Mart and pick up some tacky dress off the
rack,the latina tends to dress with more
expensive clothes and Jewelry.One noted feature of the blouses in
the Americas is that they allow more of the woman's breast to be
exposed.
This is not exhibitionism by any means but just a part of an
acceptable
cultural pattern.Americans are not used to that but this enhances
the perception of Americans (who are breasts and buttocks
minded.) of the bearer's provocative intent
It is true as Alejandro stated that dress forms in Colombia can
vary according to regions.In Bogota.Women in Bogota dress with
more fur
than in the tropical regions of Atlantico.
One factor within the dress paradigm in the Americas is that
companies tend to send small size apparels(bras,dresses.jeans)
to South and Central America.Lots of latinas have to lose weight
and slim down in order to fit in them.This tends to exaggerate
the physical appearances of being in tights and shapely.The imported
small bras allow for more breast exposure.Interestingly
enough,the latina does not mind,but el hombre latino y americano
can go crazy.
Argentina in particular can be a place where the art of seduction
can be actualized.Didn't Mark Sanford (Governor of South Carolina)
couldn't resist and hopped on that plane to tango with his
Argentinian mistress? And who can forget Wilbur Mills (from
Arkansas) with the Argentinian bombshell?Of course some people
may question whether Argentians are as South American as
Colombians are.
I will continue next time at looking at some aspects of newly arrived
latinas in the U.S.
