James Bond Wears Speedos

The hypocrisy and prudeness of the american beach couture is beyond cultural comprehension. Women can wear the skimpiest suits, flaunt their fake boobies and butts while us men - especially the statuesque scandinavian man - are forced to be confined in a pair of baggy (?) knee-length shorts.

The general opinion is that speedos on a man (?) is gross, perverse and unethical. There is some kind of acceptance and understanding IF the man got a sixpack and is endowed like a horse (if you ask anonymous women). I strongly beg to differ. I politely decide to agree to disagree. I do not concur.

Speedos are classy, comfortable and the perfect beachwear. It reminds me of the summers in the 70's when men and women were allowed to look fabulous in whatever location and color. Speedos spells glamour, champagne and lazy beach days.

It's in culturally difficult moments like this when I feel really proud and lucky to be European. Cause that's the only thing you need to convey while cruzing the american beach in your black panther speedos, I'm European. You are not going to be accepted or forgiven but at least not thrown in jail. Yet.
