In today's Knoxville News Sentinel [1] there is an article by Kevin Cowan regarding ladies shorts. He briefly discusses the new "sophisticated" look of shorts.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love shorts. I'd wear them year round if I could. However, I've never thought about how shorts "can be appetizing at dinner". What's that about?

In addition, Mr. Cowan (and eHow.com [2]) should be very cautious when discussing shorts in the workplace. Both suggest shorts should be "modest" when worn on the job. Neither mentioned a tip to ask your employer if "shorts" are acceptable at work.

In a sidebar, there are suggestions from Suite101.com [3]for gals with large hips and ladies with a pudgy midriff.

Thanks to Kevin and the KNS for helping us "gals" try to navigate the world of shorts. I'm not sure it was worth the full page, but I bet Saul had fun taking the pictures.
