HEMLINES may rise and fall with every passing season, but jeans just seem to keep falling. And falling. And falling. Denim that actually hits your waist - instead of your hips - seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur.

How hard is it for the parents in this article to say NO? Do you want your daughter dressing with her butt crack showing or not?
Sorry, but some parents are complete idiots!

The story is a little more interesting with the picture that accompanied it...

"I try and tell her to get something a little bit higher. But no matter what, she's still going to wear them." Jelly-brained morons like her should not be allowed to reproduce. She can't ensure that her daughter not leave the house dressing and acting like a slut/ho?
This is one reason why society is degrading.

"I try and tell her to get something a little bit higher. But no matter what, she's still going to wear them."Of course, idiots like this get to reproduce...the word "no" isn't even in her vocabulary.
She's too damn concerned with being her kid's friend as opposed to being her kid's parent.
Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Fact is, these fashions are suitable only for young women with perfect bodies. If you've ever seen "overhang," you'll know what I mean.
And on young women, they send a not-so-subtle message that all the pimps in the fashion industry are trying to deny: "I'm showing my body because I can be had."
Yet these same women will demand that men "respect" them and concede their "equality" in every way.
Dress like a ho, get treated like a ho.

As the father of three very young girls, I am already steeling myself for the fashion battles to come. If we think its bad now, just wait ten years, I shudder to think what'll be fashionable when my girls are in their teens. But I'll be damnned if my daughters are going to leave my house looking like a cheap whore.

"She can't ensure that her daughter not leave the house dressing and acting like a slut/ho?" Hey, you don't want her daughter to realize she's acting like a skank, do ya? It might impact her self-esteem. < /sarcasm>

As the father of three very young girls, I am already steeling myself for the fashion battles to come. I have 3 myself and I'm just starting to get into the battles with my oldest.
I told her that we either compromise or I'll she'll wear what I pick out and they won't like it at all.
So far it's working

Another example of parents abdicating responsibility. These are kids, not adults, and their parents most certainly have the authority to tell them what they can wear/not wear and buy/not buy. I went shopping with my daughter until she went off to college (by which time, it was well-ingrained in her to dress sensibly but fashionably). If it was too tight, too revealing, it was a thumbs-down. Simple as that.

Wow, 3 girls. Yikes.
Good luck.

You might want to politely ask the Admin Moderator to add something like (low rider jeans) or (fashion) in parenthesis to the title. That way, people will know what the article is about and you will probably get more posts.
Just my $0.02.
