Slut Dressing

(If you must have politics, please scroll down)

I'm surprised that Judge Judy didn't find these young people in contempt of court (hat tip to Karen):


These young people are an embarrassment to their parents.

Or did their parents not teach their children about appropriateness of dress according to the occasion?

My mother used to tell me: "Why are you wearing that skimpy outfit to [wherever]? Would you wear a fur coat to the beach? No? Then, don't wear that outfit to [wherever]."

At least the young people in the above video are not sporting bizarre tattoos and hedonistic piercings. I see such things on many of the girls and women at the local swimming pool — and even on middle-aged women who are teachers and lawyers in an area that is certainly in the upper-middle-class range, if not higher.

As long as I'm on the topic of dress appropriate to the occasion, why do the blonde bimbos on Fox News participate in slut dressing? Have you seen some of those outfits worn by the female anchors on Fox and Friends? These women often don't have a clue as to what constitutes day wear and what constitutes cocktail-party wear.

Gretchen Carlson (pictured left) is not an isolated case, either. I see the same kind of provocative dress and body language on the local news as well — on Fox, NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliates. In my view, dressing in such a manner trivializes the news.

The problem of slut dressing isn't limited to television, either. Recently, classical pianist Yuja Wang [video of Ms. Wang playing the piano] has been cited for the problem. According to Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times:

“Her dress Tuesday was so short and tight,” he wrote, “that had there been any less of it, the [Hollywood] Bowl might have been forced to restrict admission to any music lover under 18 not accompanied by an adult. Had her heels been any higher, walking, to say nothing of her sensitive pedaling, would have been unfeasible.”

Apparently, even the usually dignified world of classical music is not immune from bizarre outfits.

No wonder our young people today have so little clue as to what constitutes appropriate dress for the occasion! They look around and see little respect for tradition in our society today.
