I suppose most people don't take notice, so just go with it when I say that nine times out of ten, guys looke better dressed up in show girls garb than ladies (think back to the last time you saw Cabaret or La Cage aux Falles). Either way, who doesn't love a leggy lady in a riddiculously puffy short skirt and feathers going in every direction? This, I think, is why ostriches have more or less universal appeal. They are the ultimate show girl. Long thin legs run seamlessly into eqally long thin necks with dainty little heads perched on top. Punctuating the verticality is the ultimate tutu of feathers. But in bird world, as in the human world apparently, the ladies can't hold their own against the guys. While the ladies wear a drab tawny color, the gentlemen show off in contrasting black and white, and oh how high their legs go, while the ladies' stop abruptly right below her wings.
