If you are going to go and shop in a low socio-economic suburb, and you are going to wear a dress (a pretty one for that matter) when all the other women in the store are either in skin tight clothes, worn over too much flesh, or shapeless sacks, then expect to be stared at.
I knew people would be looking, I didn’t wear the dress because I was going to the supermarket, I wore the dress because hello? it was hot. AND we had gone into town to visit Nathan’s parents and hello? spending 45 mins in a car in summer? I am wearing a dress and staying cool.
What I didn’t expect was a older (much much older than me, thankyou very much) man to stand waiting for me to get Amy out of the car.
There was a mile of space for him to get into his car and drive away. Instead he chose to stand and watch me.
*shudder*
As I got Amy out of the car and walked off, I thanked him for waiting for me. (I am eternally polite, even to creepy strange men. He *may* have just been being polite)
He licked his lips at me and said -‘It was my pleasure’
*SHUDDER*
He licked his freaking lips at me! Not in a ‘oh my lips are dry’ kind of way either.
Nathan didn’t see him do it, which meant that I couldn’t even have a whine about it.
‘Wow, he was creepy’
‘No, he was just being polite, why do you always think men are creepy?’
Because they generally are
‘No Nat, he LICKED his lips at me’
‘So? I would lick my lips at you too’
‘Not helping me to feel better here, he was old enough to be my father!’ (Hi Dad, love you)
‘Well, I will lick my lips at 19 year olds when I am his age’
This was when I hurt my knuckles by bashing them on Nathans ribs just a bit.
aww you look gorgeous hon 🙂 I love that dress too, I wish I could get away with wearing things like that…

Well, you do look very pretty in that dress.
I hate creepy old men, I’ve got a couple of customers that freak me a bit. Years ago, when my oldest was working in the deli department of Coles a mentally ill patient focused on her and would not be served by anyone else if T. was there. The staff all kept an eye out and when they saw him coming the deli manager would send T. out the back to wash the rotisserie rods until he had gone. When he started hanging around the store all day just to see her, the store manager had security call the police and the home he was housed in and ban him from the shopping centre. She quit that job soon after to get married.
You look really pretty. Tis a pity the creepy old lipsmacking man ruined your “pretty dress keeping me cool” day!

‘Well, I will lick my lips at 19 year olds when I am his age’
Oh, V-Ronnie – this made me love Nat a little.
And I would totally lick my lips at you, too – just look at you!
Reminds me of the time I was bent over re-merchandising a low shelf at the store I managed… an employee of mine was ringing up a sale for a man who had been standing at the register, staring at my ass. She asked him, “Was anyone helping you today?” (mind you, I had never spoken to this man)
He turned from her and pointed at my ass, and said, breathlessly, “Yes, she has definitely HELPED me today.”
Creepy? YES. Funny as hell? YES.
Sarcastic Mom’s last blog post..Hai’kould I be any more grateful?
You’re gorgeous in that dress. It doesn’t give the creep a right to ogle you that way (at least not so obviously…..gross!) but you ARE gorgeous.

Candy’s last blog post..It’s Friday, and that means…
I think the first time a girl referred to me as a “dirty old man” I was 17. I’m still a DOM – only now I have the ‘age’ that goes along with the appellation. That said … take it from a genuine DOM who thinks obvious lip-licking is obnoxious – you’re one boy-I’d-make-comments-under-my-breath good lookin’ woman.

I think that Nathan has it right. Even the ones who can’t have sex anymore, still think about it a LOT.

Nice dress!
Oh wow that dress is just beyond adorable. I love the neck design and how the skirt bows out like that, it is just beautiful. My favorite part about it is the color scheme and the design itself.
