I was away for much of the Olympics this year, so didn't see enough of it to be able to comment in more than a general way. I do vocally rage over the volleyball uniforms whenever I see a game. Someone I know called women's beach volleyball 'the new burlesque'. <br />As far as what our young women are wearing, I have two girls, nearly 16 and 11. While their dad and I want them to feel 'hip' in their clothes and encourage them to express themselves through fashion because its fun and creative, we draw the line at anything provocative. Yes, they do wear skinny jeans like everyone else, but I'm happy to say that they are disgusted by the 'shorts' the girls have been wearing as well as the low cut blouses. I wonder how the male teachers feel at the schools and how the pubescent boys handle it! Our high school has a dress code of sorts, but it is hard to control fashion en masse. <br />I saw a girl in what looked like black boy short underwear walking into the grocery store. Yes, she had a gorgeous body, and I'll admit I admired her, but I'm sure I would have admired her just as much had she just had a regular pair of shorts on. I'm just not sure why girls and many women, feel like they have to put all their 'fruit out on the platter' if you know what I mean! <br />On the other hand, my husband the sports fan, just might be thinking he wished his wife had those abs...Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-62298447167874180112012-09-13T08:58:34.577-04:002012-09-13T08:58:34.577-04:00All I can say is that body seems to sell.

I did notice the sparseness of the "uniforms", but at the same time, it is the summer Olympics. In the winter, the athletes are all bundled up. I did scope out the six packs, washboards, and the area on body where the hips stick out -- I think it's referred to as Apollos' Belt -- and yes, I did drop and do 100 sit ups! As for the clothing and my daughters, we have moved on up to skinny jeans for the 7 year old, only because. . .she's skinny! I don't think she even knows what it means and I'm not going to be the one to tell her!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047619856144475098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-28705856709556477532012-09-05T21:52:31.208-04:002012-09-05T21:52:31.208-04:00I can't agree more.

I think that's awful! I think you can flaunt it when I won't have to raise your baby because you have to finish high school and you have a newborn. Great post! As for the Olympic athletes, honestly, it took most of them being half naked for me to even have any interest.

But it seems to me like we may as well just go back to the original Olympics where all of the competitors were naked!<br /><br />As far as the teenaged girls, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're walking around in their underwear while at the mall. I have all boys, so I'm not having to enforce any dress codes. Thankfully.

The human body can be beautiful, but in this sexually-commodified culture, where girls and women are pressure to have an artificial airbrushed sexiness, we need a different balance between explicit dress and modest attire. However, the Olympians swim suits might have been practical garments, to shave off that last hundreth-second of time. What does bug me is what some young women wear to class at college and when prepubescent teens sport sexualized attire.Judy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716313522956637731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-32409253505978353802012-09-02T18:24:40.291-04:002012-09-02T18:24:40.291-04:00Very interesting post!
