As I was walking from the car park to Sørkedalen skole where the local brass band was holding the loppemarked a sporty young woman was walking a pair of huskies towards me.
As I was about to pass she said "Du ser så fin ut." ("You look so nice."). And on my way back to my car after the loppemarked a young woman in ski jacket with sunglasses perched on her woolly hat said "Du ser veldig kul ut." ("You look really cool.").
Makes me feel so good!
But that's not the only reason I'm writing these things here. After all even I'm not vain enough to believe that they were complimenting my body, just my choice of clothes. But I think anyone of any gender would be pleased to be complimented by attractive young women half or even one third their age.
My point is to encourage everyone stop wearing clothes that make you invisible and boring and instead wear something colourful and striking and stride down the street with your head up.
