Petra!

Bimbo wear will get you nothing but ignored. It is hard enough to be taken seriously as a woman, especially if you are attractive.

Like you, I've got the body to pull it off if I want to, but once I turned 50, I realized there was something pathetic about trying to look half my age. At any rate, bimbo wear seems the least likely choice if you want men to acknowledge your brains and not your chest.

Jeans and a T shirt are my clothing of choice. Comfortable, too. If not that, it's basic black with a nice blazer. Still, few people of either sex take me seriously until I open my mouth.
