Summer in the City

Sydney November 2014 – September 2015 (5 photos)

Summer is the season for swimsuits and beaches… but in the middle of the city???

I guess some people can’t help themselves. I think some people would go to work in their budgie smugglers* if they could.

Even a former Prime Minister of Australia was regularly photographed wearing his budgie smugglers*.

Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn’t it a pity Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

Summer in the City by The Lovin’ Spoonful (1966).

I’m sorry to inform you all, but inappropriate budgie smuggling* is a crime.

Budgie smugglers is an Australian slang term for men’s tight-fitting Speedo-style swimwear. The term refers to the ‘lump in the front’ which apparently resembles a budgerigar (Australian parakeet) as if it were stuffed down the front of someone’s shorts.
