Frightening.

I REALLY hate the whole prostitot thing.

Yay, people are still using that word!

On the topic of the designers maybe being pedophiles... going by the people on Australia's Next Top Model, the fashion industry is made up entirely of bitches, pedophiles who want to sleep with the underage models, and men so flamingly camp they make make Julian Clary look straight.

I have Playboy stuff. They make shoes, socks, purses, keyrings, shot glasses, blankets, pillows, beyond just clothes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing Playboy brand stuff. I have a Playboy hoodie that I wear sometimes.

But then again, I'm not 10.

I'm so glad I'm having a boy. I never have to worry about him going to the mall dressed like a whore. And for school dances, boys have only one option: a suit.

Celia Rivenbark has a hilarious essay on the topic, called "Stop Dressing Your 6-Year-Old Like a Skank".

Wanna bet? Adam Lambert didn't get his ideas FROM "American Idol"; he brought them TO the show. lol!!!

some schools have started to allow cross dressing

(sheldon and I aren't exactly helping your cause, are we )

I'm going to take sewing lessons and dress my daughter like Laura Ingalls from "Little House on the Prarie".

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm looking at the clothing in the larger sizes for the older girls and I'm unhappy.

I'm really going to have to learn how to sew.

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I'd do the same if necessary. Or have her wear very tiny suit shirts. And a tie.

Mommy's Little Corporate Executive. Who's got stock options? That right, sweetheart, you do!

I have a cousin that would have loved that. I don't know if I've ever seen her in a dress since she was old enough to dress herself.

^-.-^

i used to have a foster sister that was seven and dressed like a prostitot...when i tried to wear almost the exact same outfit i got yelled at and threatened with grounding...while she got praised and told she looked sexy...wtf? my guess is that she'll be bringing in lots of illegal money when she grows older and that's what her parents were grooming her for...

[Aethian]

A lady I deliver to has started dressing her grandson in very nice looking casual dress pants and button shirts. Now if only she could do something about her daughter wearing clothing that is six sizes to small.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Kind of reminds me of one of my wife's cousins too, decorated her room with playboy logos from age 11 onwards.

Needs to be slapped. Repeatedly.

Not the kid, the parents.

That's just...beyond the pale.

I see an adult wearing that, all it does is call attention to the fact that she's not playboy material. I mean, she may be very attractive. She may be The Local Lovely. However, as soon as you slap that logo on yourself, you are asking to be judged and compared to airbrushed glamor girls. And since you are not an airbrushed glamor girl, you are going to come up short. Why do that to yourself?

If I saw a kid wearing that...well...I think my head would just explode.

All this talk about Playboy reminds me of a former student--she really was a Playboy model. I even have a copy of the Lingerie Edition she was in! No, she never told me directly--one of my coworkers recognized her in the magazine! So of course I had to buy a copy. No, it's not autographed.

I feel a little insulted by the idea that wearing Playboy makes me not comparable to the phony bleach blonde airbrushed girls.

I don't wear it because I want to be in the magazine or date Hef or want to be on TV. I wear it because I like it. I especially like how their clothes fit my body in all the right ways and places. The same way I like how AE and the Buckle clothes fit my body.

Now obviously I don't wear my Playboy stuff very often, because I've been banned from wearing it at work (don't get me started on how it's ok for an overweight girl or smaller girl to wear a Hooters shirt, but if my curvy self wears a t-shirt with the Bunny on it, it's blasphemy!) but when I work out or go tanning or running errands, I've got my Playboy t-shirts and tanks on. And they look cute.

Then when I started developing and becoming a little lady, my parents had guidelines for what I wore. They knew I was going to end up very chesty and curvacious like my mother, so they knew there was no way to hide my assets, and it would just make me an insecure person to try to hide them, but I had to wear clothes to enchance and play up my figure, without looking too much older or trashy or slutty. That was a big line to cross....I could wear lower cut shirts and tank tops and skirts, but nothing trashy and nasty.

Am I reading that correctly? Once you hit puberty your parents made "enhance and play up your figure"?
