And you let her out like that!?

[CaroPhoenix]

My mom hates the corset tops I like to wear that I buy from Torrid. I'm 36 years old and my Mom says they make me look like a hooker!

Okay ... I have a rack .. I do ... So what? I wear my corset tops with pants. And it's not like I'm wearing a sign on my head blinking: "Boobies! I have boobies! Please look!"

I love being in a small town. Once this got around, the next time I saw her, she was actually dressed appropriately. I made sure to comment about it the next time I saw her. Her Mother was with her that time, and thanked me profusely for scaring her daughter straight.

This is not a recommended course of action though, as you can probably guess, the situation could have been VERY bad for me, had I not Known and been known by everyone.

Yeah...small towns rock like that.

And so do you, BTW.

I'm not gonna blame the media (Paris Hilton, Bratz etc.) that's got little girls looking and/or acting like prosti-tots. I would put more of the blame on the parents for allowing that to happen. If that was my child, she would not even make it past her bedroom door with that outfit on without changing in something more appropriate.

I was going to say that the sign would be on your boobies, but those corsets don't show cleavage! How in the world does that make you look like a hooker?


I'd recommend everyone who is interested in this thread read the book Female Chauvanist Pigs. I just finished it and it has some fascinating commentary on "raunch culture."

Agreed. At that age, the parents control the clothes that their daughter wears, so in order for a child to go out dressed like a hooker, her mother must have a) bought said hooker clothes and b) allowed her daughter to wear them.

I once saw a girl of around eight walking thru the supermarket clinging to her hotpantsed mother's hand. The eight year old was wearing a cropped top that was cut low to show off her non existant boobs, a mini skirt that obviously worked part time as a hair band and two inch high heels. -.- Small kids, as well as not wearing prosti-tot clothes, should not wear heels; it is bad for their growing feet.

I love my corsets. So does my Mom, but she can't wear them because she feels like she can't breathe (even though she can).

I just tell her I like asphyxiation.

None of mine show the boobies (I want boobies! ) except for this one I have a picture of myself in that I never got around to purchasing. But I certainly don't look like a hooker!

It just now occured to me....



...which exit on which highway?

Not sure. We were just into Kentucky and we took 65 all the way to Indy.

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

The only time I wear my corset top is when I'm wearing it over this Alice-style dress. Black with black lace, full skirt about knee-length, collar all the way to the base of my neck, no cleavage or even torso showing. Wear that with bloomers, black tights, boots, and some ribbons in the hair.

Little girls dress like older sluts. I dress like a little girl and look like a Lolita fantasy. :

this is making mom sad...

Saturday night I was walking with my guy friend back to the bar where my girlfriends were. I was wearing a very lowcut shirt....but hey, I was wearing pants and the shirt had sleeves and it's going OUT for Pete's Sake.....

This random guy says "You have a cleavage problem!"

I bark back "You have an ugly problem!"

[GingerBiscuit]

I didn't start dressing like a slut till I was old enough to understand that I was putting a certain message out there, and able to take care of myself.

Poor kids don't know any better.

I think a grown woman should be able to show off her body without censure, but if you're letting your kids do it, pre sexual beings who shouldn't be putting it out on the market, so to speak, then you have a problem.

[Becks]

Can we hold you to that?

And Becks~ That may be a bad idea with the amish...They have a year of freedom starting at 16 in which then can do whatever they want....And I do mean WHATEVER they want. Drive cars, drink, sex..and theyre not liable to answer to their parents. Ive seen tricked out buggies with rims and radios..I shit you not. The church doesnt encourage these behaviours but they cant stop them either.(No, Im not amish)..So, maybe just 15? Thats still a long enough to instill a good work ethic..

Yeah, I know about that.

Compromise: Amish until they're 15, then off to the convent until they're 25.

[Jack7957]

I have sweat pants that say "AE" on the butt....but it's just a brand. I wouldn't be caught dead with "Juicy" on my ass.

Doesn't matter what it says, I'm still gonna have to look to read it.

Many Halloween costumes for kids are more naughty than nice

One costume company has a line called, "Hottie Totties," for teen and pre-teen girls. This is what Disguise Inc., the company that makes them, says: "Fun, flirty and hot! Hottie Tottie costumes are a little on the sweet side with a splash of sass blending the look you want with the coverage mom will approve."

This mom doesn't approve.

Again, I'm glad I have a son. Don't know how I'd handle my daughter having those messages crammed down her throat.

What really makes me sick is that parents are buying a costume for their kids that is actually outright named "Lovely Lolita".

I mean, come on, how can you even pretend that's not an invitation to pedophiles everywhere?
