Someone Is Watching You

The Captain was surfing Facebook over the weekend and came across some stories of prurient interest.

In the first one, an online fashion magazine reported on the Shiaparelli’s Haute Couture Show held in Paris on January 22nd. The headline blared:

“J-Lo Forgets to Put on Pants”

Now mates, yer Captain knows this is just click-bait.

I mean, J-Lo is known for wearing tight-fitting leggings and yoga pants in public.

And short skirts...

 And on-stage, well…

But as I was preparing to scroll on past, their ploy worked.

I began to wonder how bad it had to be for this to be the headline.

I decided to first just read the comments. 

To my dismay, the comments section was a steady stream of invectives by people who hadn’t read the article but just wanted to trash J-Lo.

I don’t know what she has done to raise the ire of so many people!

Still curious, the Captain gave in and “clicked”.

And this is what all the sound and fury was about:


Perhaps these tights don’t technically qualify as “pants”, but her body is more covered than usual.

Now mates, leggings, tights, and yoga pants have become a standard clothing item for women of all shapes and sizes.


I could point you back to a blog the Captain wrote several years ago when I noticed this trend.

Captain’s Note: Actually, I can’t. After 17 years of writing these things, I wish now that the Captain had created tags and categories for easy reference.

Here’s the reality: J-Lo can wear whatever J-Lo wants to wear.

And to be honest, she doesn’t look bad for 54!

But now, as then, the Captain only asks that if this is your fashion choice, dear humble reader, you should purchase a full-length mirror.

We don’t all look like J-Lo, now do we?

So before stepping out in public, check yourself out.

Front and back. 


 Especially back!

And ask yourself, “Is this really the look I was going for?”

People will be watching.

And judging.

Maybe you don’t care.

Good for you.

Speaking of watching, the second article I found raised an interesting question.

A woman created an OnlyFans site.

For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a social media site in which a person can post whatever content they want and charge others to look at it.

For example, the Captain discovered recently that the Facebook site “Fishing with Luiza” also has an OnlyFans site.

Captain’s Note: The above photo is from a Facebook post. One can only imagine what her OnlyFans site offers.

No, I don’t subscribe.

Anyway, the woman in the story created an OnlyFans site and makes money via pay-per-view by granting visual requests, creating sexual fantasies, masturbating, and even broadcasting herself having sex with her boyfriend.

Safe.

And apparently lucrative.

Then, quite by accident, she discovered that her step-father was her “top fan”!

Just like her other customers, over the course of several months he had made certain requests (which she fulfilled, not knowing who he was), paid his money, and watched her content.

But when she found out his identity, she told her mother and a divorce followed.

Comments (here again I read the comments) largely called the step-father a creep.

After all, he had been Step-Daddy since she was 11 years old.

Note, the woman never implied that Step-Daddy had done anything improper to her when she was a minor.

But now he’s considered creepy.

For watching his now-adult step-daughter have sex.

On a pay site she herself created.

No one in the comments section seemed concerned that the woman was selling homemade x-rated content on the internet.

Here again, the Captain understands: an adult woman is free to do with her body what she wants to do with her body.

But did she ever stop to think about who might be watching?

Not just some faceless stranger half-way around the world.

But possibly:

Her high school principal?

Her gym coach?

A co-worker?

Her boss?

Her next door neighbor?

Her step-father?

And – yer Captain is curious – how exactly did that conversation with her mother go?

“So, Mommy, I’ve created an OnlyFans site in which I grant men’s sexual fantasies and even broadcast graphic sex with my boyfriend for money.”

“That’s nice dear. I’m so proud of you.”

“And, by the way, Step-Daddy is my biggest fan!”

“…”

I don't know.

Perhaps Step-Daddy is creepy.

But what did the woman expect when she started putting her [ahem] content out there for all to see? Who did she think would be watching?

Now, being as open-minded as I am, yer Captain stands by a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body, whether it is broadcasting homemade porn or going out in public without pants.

This gives no one the right to touch you.

But know that some of us will be looking.

J-Lo knows this.
