    To crop or not to crop...

    If only common sense were alive and well... According to a BBC article, health experts are saying that wearing crop tops and backless outfits is a health risk to young women as it may induce hypothermia.

    Thank you Captain Obvious! It doesn't take a scientific study to deduce that wearing summer clothing in wintry months will more than likely get you sick.

    I'm sure that all of us at some point or other have forgotten a hat, scarf or pair of gloves on one of those blustery winter days, and cursed our sieve-like memories for such a lapse after enduring the painful nip of the near arctic weather.

    Now girls, I know you probably think you won't look cute if you are not out there showing off your toned midriffs and backs, but shall we put things in perspective. Imagine yourselves at that party or in that club, having stood outside in the cold for a variable amount of time. Now when you start flirting and chatting up perspective partners, how attractive will running noses, sneezes, and wind burnt body parts be? Ladies, it's the winter, so bring out your figure-hugging sweaters and make them use their imaginations for a change.

    Don't despair though, it's only another four or five months before you can safely bring out your cropped wares and flaunt what your mother gave you.
