Last night was the University of Oklahoma's Winter Ball, and my wife and I went. BBW's made up at least half the girls there, and they were all lovely! Most were with dates, but there was a group of four or five at the next table who had apparently come together. They were dressed to the nines in their ball gowns and looked cool and elegant, and they were obviously having a wonderful time. There were some stags about, and from time to time one of them would ask one of these women to dance, but one lady -- the largest of them (and, IMO, the prettiest :wubu
had not been chosen to dance. I asked her to fox trot. She had never done the dance before, but she picked it up immediately. She was completely relaxed, charming, and natural, doing a dance she'd never done before with a man she'd never seen before -- totally mistress of the situation. And I noticed, as the evening passed, that nobody -- men or women -- seemed to pay any attention to anyone's size: they were there to have fun together, and that was all that counted! It felt like a peek into an alternate future that I never really believed could happen, and it gave me hope that the rising generation will prove wiser -- in some ways, at least -- than this one.
