The thing is, this is a girl who, 18 months ago, did not know what a tube top was.  She kept trying to tell me, &#8220;It can still have straps and be a tube top.&#8221;  NO!!!!  But look at her now.  Not only does she understand the tube top concept, but she&#8217;s using it to impress a guy.  I&#8217;ve always maintained that there has been a certain educational component to this blog, and today we are seeing the fruits of its labor.<\/p>\n<p>Happy 30th to one of my regular readers by the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year and a half ago, I declared June of 2005 to be Tube Top Month.
