Not being one for social media, which I take to be the invention of the devil, I can only communicate via this medium regarding Miss Katharine Perry’s decolletage (G2, 2 August). If she were my daughter, I would have advised her against that look. She has a charming face so why distract from that? On the practical side, cleavage is best displayed in a slightly separated fashion and needs a good bra. I know from long experience what it takes to do one’s boobs proud in the right place and in the right way.
I have been trying to think what the equivalent display of secondary sexual characteristics would entail in a man. Possibly a show of chest hair would be the nearest, and can’t wait until some brave chap faces le Paxman and social media with that.
