Would you let your daughter wear something like this to the prom?
This dress, advertised in Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom magazines is a hot seller this year, according to an article in this morning's New York Post.
"I was shocked when I first saw it, but now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide," says Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, the Stafford, Texas, company that designed the dress and some 200 other styles this season.You got that right, and I'll be damned if'n my 16 year-old daughter would even get to think about wearing something like this."I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.
"As a businessman," he adds, "I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."
In fact, some shops in smaller cities require girls to bring in parental permission slips to buy the dress, Yeh told The Post.
The dress runs $495, and comes in red and black.
Beware, parents. Beware.
I've got an even better suggestion that will be even better: Put her in four pair of long overalls. Until she's 30.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Parental irresponsibility PING
Actualy if she wore some sort of pretty undershirt under it, it might work.
That said, No. Way. In. Heck.
Talk about a wardrobe malfunction . . .
My daughter, praise God, is naturally modest and shy. But if a child of mine wore something like that, she would be shipped post-haste to a convent with a high stone wall with broken glass and razor wire on the top.
I am soooo glad I have boys and don't have to worry about girl stuff. I know its another set of problems, but not this.
disclaimer: I am a girl and can say that!

This has got to be a joke. Obviously the dress is on backwards. Come on.
Man...I went to high school too early, I guess. Back in the early 60's, strapless prom dresses were pretty wild.
Of course, this one DOES have straps, so I guess it's OK. [grin]
But hey, Its ok if I provide the stuff for you to Pimp your children..... MORON! Integrity counts in ALL things... you will sell something you do not approve of, you are not a business man, you are a predator.. there used to be a time Business Leaders understood this.
I doubt schools would allow this. I would say I doubt parents would allow it, but we all know better.

Come on. Yes it's hot - for stripperwear..
Excuse me...but what has happened to teaching young girls to have dignity and to treat their bodies as temples. All they will need is a name tag with the price for services rendered.
The girl who would consider wearing this garment
ANYWHERE in public is looking for more than a mere
dance with her date. In fact, she's out to snag
the entire stag line AND their fathers!
Hell, why not just wear some pasties and a skirt! WTH's the difference?
What's next, naked proms!
