Huh.
Occasionally, but you don't see it terribly often in the Midwest.
I was wondering if it was a case of "it doesn't happen a lot around here" or a "you hang out with the wrong kind of people to see bandana tops" situation.
Summer time here in Eastern Washington you might actually see that sort of thing- but only with girls who really don't need a bra. If 'bounce' is any sort of issue, they wear something that can deal with 'bounce'... and you would typically see it where you're away from water and in the absence of wind. Often enough in a bar, I suppose.

A girl built like Atsali wearing that would be swarmed with guys in no time flat... and probably there would be fights...

Shelly used to - may still - wear handkerchief tops. Bud and Lily might get away with it too.

Girls like Nicki (still have not seeen the gddm link yet???) are very similar to Atsali... BUT they in RL are usually in the company of *mature* guys, of the MOBO generation -think Rihanna, Usher, Kanye, Beyonce.., that have *huge* respect for attractive girls...

with those big guys, youngsters behave... :p

I did follow the link to the article and video of Nicky Menaj and Beyonce singing together (the first time around). I did, however, fail to notice that it was hosted on a website called "Mobo"... So I take it that the "MOBO generation" would be the generation that follows the kind of news that sites like MOBO puts out. However, I couldn't see anywhere on the site where it says what exactly "MOBO" means or stands for. I guess it doesn't matter, anyway...

I check Wikipedia regularly. I just didn't think to check in this instance, since my previous searches all gave results related to Intel motherboards...

I've heard of them... but I don't listen to radio, usually, and they are not part of my musical library/taste.

I tend to specifically avoid such music. I prefer Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters.

As a matter of fact, I do use a different search engine, as a general rule: Goodsearch

It's based on Yahoo search, and for every search you do, a donation is made to your selected charitable organization (fractions of a penny at a time, but it eventually adds up, slowly...)

But even following your link to the Google search with those terms still brought me only links about Intel motherboards, regardless of whether I follow your link in Google Chrome, or in Firefox. But don't worry about it, I don't need to know any more on the subject, as that music and those artists are not, as I previously mentioned, part of my musical interests.

Interesting... taking out "generation", and simply searchying "MOBO" definitely gives more varied results:

A bicycle company, stuff about cell phones, motherboards (again, of course)...


...


... as well as the previously discussed music news web site...

Hey now, I listen to Rhianna.

Of course, some of her recent stuff is getting a bit derivative, but she's got a great voice.

That other chica with Minaj has some good tunes, too, but I don't think she's going to be that great of a singer...

Erm there are two singers that get confused.... :)

Rhianna (R_hi_anna )Hannah Louise Kenny (born 1983, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England) part of the band "little fix", renamed to "the fix" to stop confusion with 'little mix' band...

Rihanna (R_ih_anna ) Robyn Rihanna Fenty (/riˈænə/ ree-AN-ə),(The H is silent, *really* confusing everyone!! :? ) (born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer and songwriter. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown - you must remember umberella, ella, ella ???

Another good mark for 'goodsearch' !! They *know* you mean the Barbadian singer even if misspelt! :)


you NEED to get onto youtube, lots of good stuff there.. :) :P especially Minaj.. :D BUT don't believe the haters!!! It took her TEN years of hard work...

That was just brain fade on me.

Rihanna (She of "Unfaithful", "Umbrella", and "Take a Bow" fame) was the one to whom I was referring.

The Midlands and Greater Appalachia tend to have more modest sensibilities, so to speak.


Hmmm... I tried to phrase that in a way that didn't sound judgmental in either way. Not sure I managed to.
