The connection of cold to feminine fashion reminds of a female
classmate who, back in the day, made manifest that mid-winter weather
in Massachusetts is in no way a deterrent to the wearing of the
micro-miniskirt, the mere addition of pantyhose thereunder providing
warmth sufficient unto the style. It goes without saying that the
writer does not think that wearing micro-miniskirts is sinful.
