to satiate jax's curiosity

Gosh!
This is getting really hilarious. Okay, Jax wanted to know what a Tank Top is, so here i am with more enlightening nuggets of info :-D

My meaning : No! This is not a military uniform. Take any good sleeveless t-shirt and tear it in half so it stops at your midriff. That's your tank top. The unwritten rule with a tank top is , you shall wear only a pair of low-waist jeans, to prove to the world you are not Eve(or Adam for that matter) but just a descendent. How? The belly button ofcourse.

The real meaning : In American English and Australian English a tank top is a sleeveless shirt that can be worn by either sex. The name derives from its resemblance to a tank suit, a style of one-piece women's swim suit with shoulder straps. ("Tank suit" in turn refers to "swimming tank," an obsolete term for what are now called "swimming pools constructed from plastic and metal)
Tank tops are often worn by athletes in sports.

Well if i knew it would sound so boring, i wouldn't really wear it :-D

It was considered as innerwear/work-out clothes until one summer day in 1980s, a few good women decided to strut around publicly in them to beat the heat!

A small step for that girl, a giant leap for many-a-men.

a lesson i learnt during my days as a clandestine fashion guru:

new T shirt - $10
rip it and tear it - $30
put it on a hot model and put a photo of that on the window - $50
getting that girl to go out with you - priceless

There are some things money cant buy for everything else you have to work your butt off.
