The only time I have an issue with someone else's modesty is when they are held up as an example by which to attempt to limit my freedoms. I'm thinking mostly about things like public breastfeeding where, because some women choose to leave the room or swathe themselves in blankets the position can be taken that this is the only correct thing to do.

Yes, it was the Sound+Vision tour btw.
There's a quote somewhere where he says he basically got through that tour by counting the days until he never had to sing Space Oddity ever again.

Beautiful 3410 but it doesn't make me want that time-machine any less.
I've always like where it goes
Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sunbirds to soar with
And once I could never be down
Got to keep searching and searching
Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love?and the whole song just lifts up.

I expressed truthfully how much I loved it you would probably back away from me nodding and smiling and hoping I didn't go for your jugular.
Or possibly embrace you like a sister? He did perform STS at some dates on the Reality tour so I had hopes but we got a more stadiumy show (possibly due to being in a stadium?)

Aha - Glass Spider and (I think the one you saw would have been) Sound+Vision were the ones he hated doing so he probably was all grumpy. When I saw him in 2004 he was in full on "cheerful geezer" mode and we got a rocking encore of Five Years, Suffragette City and Ziggy Stardust.

On the two occasions I saw him perform, he looked like a fucker who wouldn't come out for encores.
Really? When and where?

Someone had to...

Bowie's been rumoured for the BDO so many times that I am not holding my breath especially as he's done little to no performing since his heart-attack in '04.
Would be fabulous but...

It's all about context. My mother was front-row centre as my second baby was crowning and yet a couple of days later it didn't feel right having her pop into the bathroom while I was safely behind the shower door.
I'm slowly getting over my body-paranoia. For me it was hair that was the issue. Having sprouted rather a lot of it quite early on and having the sort of skin that goes vividly rashy at the first hint of most defoliatory devices and potions my intermediate and high-school swimming experiences were a little fraught. I've found that being short-sighted works in my favour as i can take out my contact lenses and indulge in the belief that I look just as fuzzy to everyone else as they do to me.

I just want to pick something up with a reasonable idea of whether it'll fit or not.
That would be nice. It's particularly an issue when you sit on the boundary between the regular and plus sized ranges.
