As the parent of a teenage young lady (now a new "senior"), you are all missing the point of this. Why would these girls feel the need to dress the part of Playboy Bunnies? Obviously, they are trying to create an impression in the community that goes against their standards. THAT is what the hoopla is about. I would definitely be upset to learn that my child dressed in such a suggestive, raunchy manner - thus sending the wrong message. I have been an educator for many years, and yes, girls do dress too suggestively at school. That could explain the teen pregnancy rate in most high schools in the south.
Ummmm....OK. But you again ignore the fact that these same girls wear FAR less covering when swimming/sunbaithing. Gee - I guess it's ok to dress in near-nothing in public, but not at a private chaperoned party - where they actually wear more clothing....
I would not allow my child to attend a "Playboy" themed party. Yet these alumni and parents didnt' get upset until a picture leaked out.
No, you missed the point. As others have pointed out these girls probably wear less to the beach. The don't 'feel the need', their parents have told them it's okay each time they go shopping in the Galleria.
I have a daughter who just turned 19. She would NEVER dress anything like this.
