I've still grown fond of these tailored short-shorts.
Post #423 (ecman2wst), you mentioned Maria Menounos (still can't spell her name very well). One time on "Access Hollywood," she wore some tailored short shorts. What I like about these shorts is their sexy appeal while looking very classy. I think of them as the new gaucho pants in regards to classy bottoms that can be very appealing. The most dressy and flirty shoes and sandals work best with these shorts.
I'm not particularly fond of the following kinds of shorts: bike shorts, walking shorts (city shorts nowadays?), pants just above the knees. I usually like shorts the traditional mid-thigh length. And for the risqué types- short-shorts and boy shorts and hot pants I like. Rubie girl, I like the shorts you posted in your second (love entire look for this one), third (despite contradicting myself earlier), fifth, and sixth (just the shorts) pictures. I just love these classy-looking short-shorts. Only "long shorts" exception is that third picture you posted in Post #432. Especially if you have beautiful-enough legs to show off with such shorts, they are amazing.
