Times and styles change. It is the nature of things. My big beef is young girls dressing like hookers. Children should not dress in sexually Provocative ways. I don't know how this got started and it appears to have no end in sight, but it is shameful.

I wonder the same Joe...As a mom who raised a daughter, I try to consider this from a parents view and honestly cannot come up with one valid reason why they would allow their daughters to dress provocatively at such a tender age....The only thing I ever got close to as a reason was peer pressure as kids want to "fit in" but then I ask, "Fit in where and why?"...

Underage girls dressed like hookers attract a very bad class of attention and (I don't know the statistics) but are sure to get into trouble they can't get out of. I suspect they don't tend to get a lot of respect from men either. This is not a good way to start out adult life.

Actually a very sad way and shame on the parents....

Oh, and good morning!!

IMPROPER DRESS – I've been thinking about the subject, I had someone tell me it was one of their pet peeves, I'm interested in your opinion, what you consider to be improper dress. It appears these days anything goes with young and old.

Strict dress code was something I grew up with but I am much more relaxed these days but still dress accordingly, depending on the situation, and it also depends on who I'm with.

In my day, in public when I was growing up guys wore slacks, shirt, a belt and dress shoes, gals wore a dress, or skirt and blouse, no one wore sneakers. No one would dream of wearing pj's to the store, or their pants below their crack line.

There have always been different levels of attire. A construction worker has always worn different clothes than a banker or a solder. This is because clothes do more than cover our nakedness. They also serve functions and each style can look good in it's own way if the fit is right.

In my job (truck driver) I have to feel comfortable sitting for many hours a day as well as be able to climb up into the cab of my truck. So, I buy my clothes with that in mind. I wouldn't be comfortable in a three piece suit and tie. So, I wear denim or khaki pants with cotton T-shirts and have a leather jacket near by for cold and rainy days.

My shoes must be easy to clean, give me a sure footing on greasy surfaces and again be comfortable while I'm driving. A soft moccasin does the trick most of the time. But I do keep a pair of boot handy just in case.

I keep my colors simple so everything I wear matches with everything else.

So, I think it's not so much about what a person wears, but about how they wear it that makes it look good or bad.

Adults have been biotching about youths attire since the days of the
toga. And it seems they haven't stopped yet.

Only if I rode the short bus.

Nice concept Ms.....the only problem is 1950 is long gone.....a kid dressed like that would be begging for an *** kicking.
