After reading Jan Mayer’s letter to the editor concerning the “trashy underwear” on display at Lift 3 at Purgatory (Herald, March 6), I feel compelled to come to the defense of the wanton and shameless ladies who have put them there. The bottom line is that some of us do enjoy this display and see it as a welcome distraction to an otherwise somewhat boring 6-minute lift ride.
This is 2016, not 1966. Today, there are a significant number of women who choose to send X-rated pictures of themselves to others, so I doubt they are embarrassed by having their undergarments on display (if they actually even wear them).
Yes, while some of the items in question have been there for a while, there are many new arrivals this ski season. And no, they are not natural colors, as colors such as electric orchid and neon hot pink do seem to be much more popular than the traditional white or evergreen. Whether they are old and dirty or brand new or freshly washed, only the ladies that placed them there know for sure.
And finally, as to the question of whether they are women or girls, if they are wearing a size-D cup, it really does not matter to me.
