Springbreakers bring sexy back in Ft. Lauderdale

On vacation we came into contact with a "new" 70s-inspired fashion trend: the mini skirt. Actually the mini-dress. It´s basically a long sexy t-shirt that is worn with matching sexy panties. So this trend is new to me (I've been in Chile for the last 4 years and am not up-to-date on US fashion). Vuko and I went out dancing to this club called Art Bar and we came into very close contact with this fad. About 4 spring-breakers had their ultra short dresses in florescent shades of blue, orange and green and they came and danced on the raised stage by Vuko and I. The place was so packed we had nowhere to go, so we stayed where we were right by these girls who were bringing sexy back with their provocative attire and dancing. The one in orange was loving all the attention and giving quite the sexy show. She made her way over to the main stage with the stripper pole to shock and awe. Then she came back and while getting back on stage almost toppled over on me, steadying herself on my shoulder. For me, this maneuver took points off her sexiness. But the goggle-eye gringos on Spring Break weren't fazed. They cheered and drooled. As the girl in orange tried stealing the show with her short dress and sexy pole-style dancing, Vuko, who was dancing right in front of her, ruined it for her because when she got really sexy and show stealing, he would just stop dancing, look out at all the other partiers, and point to her with both hands as if he was presenting her sexy dancing. She didn't know how to interpret this and was visibly uncomfortable. The couple next to us and I all chuckled.

A week or so later my mom and sisters-in-law saw another woman with a super short dress and I explained to them that the fad seemed to be "in". And then in the airport before coming back to Santiago, I was leafing through some fashion magazine and saw lots of pics of models wearing super short dresses and showing off their underwear. With that, my suspicion was confirmed. I don't think this will be a fad hitting Chile too soon due to the amount of jotes here.
