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!

[T'wit]

The wearers of these fashions are showing off their brains.

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

[AAABEST]

"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.

They're not going away - and they're only falling lower.

Yes they will go away .. these things were big in the hippy days and are making a brief come back .. it won't last

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.

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.

I hate to say it, but, there many young women who would look good in such low cut jeans. I am really sick of seeing fat tummies hanging out over low cut jeans and short shirts.

[eleni121]

So what's new? In the 1960's and 70's low rider jeans were all the rage. Girls wore jeans at their hips and lower. Skirts were way up there as well. Clothing was far more "provocative" than the stuff out there now. This fad is nothing new, just a rehash of styles put out by boring designers.

The only difference I can see is that there are lots more fat women wearing these clothes than in the past. Disgusting.

We had a girl who used to work here that wore low-cut pants. Only problem was that she weighed over 250 lbs.

Every time she bent over, the pants almost exploded.

The worst was the morning I turned around and got a nasty eyeful of "plumber's crack". EWWWW!

Needless to say, some people really shouldn't be wearing things like that.

Some time ago, when my daughter was in HS, she wanted to dress somewhat like the photos shown below. Now, I am definitely not a prude, and FReeper trinity1 can pull the look together, but I put my foot down (this was in the late '80s) Now, after the screaming died down, she realised that her parents (yes, we are a 2 parent family, and have celebrated our 34th) may have had a good point, and began dressing for success. Although all was not perfect (she got divorced in 9 months, we are happy to have her home with us again) she has done quite well for herself. IMHO, this trend ranks right up there with multiple piercings as the worst career advancement tool that exists..

While I must admit that it is sometimes pleasant to look on such inspiring sights as the wearers of the jeans mentioned in the article (please don't mention this to mrs gwmoore LOL) Those young females are going to find that if they are determined to dress like ho's, they are gonna be treated like ho's, and at some point, all the agitprop about "it's not her fault" is going to fall apart. Learning how to dress for the real world, and a real career is a valuable learning experience that is vital. To allow this in the schools is just plain dumb, and will result in the usual outcome.

Today's fashions have turned an entire generation of teenaged girls into plumbers

Seems to me that everyday there is less and less wrapping on the present. I feel like they’ve gone and cancelled Christmas.
