This is Fashion?
I went to the high school this morning for a fashion show. Silly, huh? Prom Preview it was called. Mac had been asked to be a model. His dad took him to the local florist where Mac picked out a tuxedo all on his own. Complete with bow tie and vest. He did a great job. I was excited to see the prom line-up. That is, I was excited until I got there. Mac looked great, as did the majority of the other young men. However, I was totally unprepared for the outfits that these young ladies had on, and I hesitate to use the word ladies here.
Ladies, no. S*ex Kit*tens, yes. And you know what I really want to know? What are their parents thinking? Mac knew I would be upset. He said that even the other guys couldn't believe the dresses that these girls were modeling. Shameless! Really, I'm not exaggerating.
How about this little number. Or this one. Or this. One of the girls wore a dress with this cut, but in a leopard print. She looked like she ought to be on her honeymoon! Have a look around this site, and you'll get a very good idea of what I saw today.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the girl who was emceeing the show talked about "how s*exy you could look in this little number." What happened to wanting to look beautiful, elegant, and lovely? Now all the girls want is to entice and to see who can draw the most attention.
Thankfully, Verne had to work, and couldn't make it to see Mac. And Collin was at the Federal Courthouse with a Boy Scout outing. It was bad enough that the girls and I had to sit through this horrific show, and that Mac was a part of it.
Parents, it's time to stop looking the other way, and get busy leading our children. Don't be afraid to say "No." And have the courage to make your children put some clothes on!
