If I was wearing one of those I don't think I'd mind people looking at me.
I don't much like being embodied. Thats partly why I like the internet. You interact with people on the basis of what people say rather than on the basis of what people look like.
Of course there would be information about height and probably gender and so forth...
But I lament the state of current society where people go around half naked. I find it to be... I kind of want to say 'culture shock' but it is my culture so I guess that isn't appropriate. But I do feel like... It isn't particularly appropriate. I don't know. I'm fairly conservative in some respects, I guess. But for personal preference... I'd rather wear one of those. But it probably isn't so appropriate to do it if you aren't of that religion and I'm not planning on believing in God anytime soon so... There it is. People would probably think I was taking the piss otherwise. Shame. I'm all for black too. Dunno. I just like them :-)
