As I’m watching the Today Show this morning and contemplating the subject of 4 year old’s wearing lingerie, toddlers pole dancing, etc. The question was asked, “Should mom’s let their little girls dress this way?” My mind races in two directions.
First…LET? Are these 4 year olds driving to the malls, whipping out their credit cards and buying these items? Or is MOM? Don’t buy it! Don’t bring it into your house! Problem of LETTING solved.
But the second direction my mind travels is the more telling. Little girls have always wanted to play dress up. Always wanted to emulate the older girls. I believe our young ladies no longer dress like ladies. Therein lays the deeper problem.
My husband recently traveled to Switzerland. The night before he left, we went to an upscale bistro for wine and tapas. There was a group of young ladies celebrating a soon to be bride. They had strips of material covering the major part of their bodies. As they interacted they each had to repeatedly pull their dresses down to cover their bottoms then pull their dresses up to cover their boobs. It was a juggling act to keep both areas covered at the same time and still be able to move around. Call me old fashion but that was ridiculous!
Fast forward a few days when he is in Switzerland, he could not believe how conservative the women all dressed. Someone had to point out to him the streetwalkers because you couldn’t tell by looking. Even they dress more conservative than the young ladies in our country. We all seem to think the Europeans are to blame for this style trend but I don’t think that is correct. The problem is HERE and we are the ones that need to change it.
