"Whore-rendous."

Why has it become "in style" these days to dress like you just ransacked Hoe Depot's clearance rack? What's with the whore-rendous outfits? What is happening to our current generation? Back then, this was frowned upon. Now, it's a trend. Also, what's happening to the way little kids act? When I was a little kid, I looked up to the teenagers and adults. I couldn't wait to grow up and be as responsible and fun as they are. Now, little ten-year-olds are running around with their iPhone that daddy got them for Christmas, their Beats they got for their birthday, and their Hollister outfit they picked out at the mall yesterday with their boyfriends. When I was ten, I had my Spongebob CD player, chalk, and a great game called Outside. The best part is that I still have the same things. Anyway, its becoming ridiculous. If we want women to get a chance to play a role that men usually play (president, military leader, etc.) then we need to step up.

I find it disturbing to walk out of the house and see yet another girl on the corner of  Areyou and Bloodyserious. Is this what we want? Is this what we want the next generation to remember us by? Pretty soon girls will be sagging not to reveal their boxers, but their g-string that they chose that day. it seems that every year the shirts get lower, shorts get shorter, heels get higher, and make-up gets heavier. Let's talk about the make-up for a second. Are we trying to look like we came from a Friday Night Freak Show at a circus next to Walmart? What's up with the cheetah eye shadow and orange faces? We are slowly starting to look like Oompa Loompas. Are we women, or Safari animals? We look like we should be taken off the streets and be put back into our natural habitats. (Here's a tip: if you don't know what an Oompa Loompa is, you're way to young to be reading this.) Why are we obsessed with bright Taylor Swift red lipstick and bold eye shadow? Back then, women didn't start wearing make-up until they were around eighteen. Now, little twelve-year-olds are stressed about how they have to wake up an hour early to do their make-up and hair. And about the clothing, who came up with the idea of cheetah bras and clothing? A little bit doesn't hurt, but the cheetah nails, shirts, shorts, pants, leggings, shoes, socks, and accessories make us look like the Cheetah Girl's cousins. About the shirts, why are we so obsessed with showing so much? What happened to covering most of it up and letting the guys use their imagination?  Is this supposed to cut them some slack? Because I can guarantee you there are guys out there who find this kind of thing very unattractive. Those are the kind of guys you should want/try to impress. Why is showing your bra so important? Are you that desperate for a "night out"? Why can't you think about the children and tuck it away? It's bad enough we have fifteen-year-olds acting like they're twenty five, we don't need five-year-olds doing the same. However, I have seen parents who put make-up on their three-year-olds and put them in dresses that should be worn by adults; which I find completely and utterly stupid. Now...let's talk about the shorts and skirts. How much shorter can they get? You should just wear your underwear...it looks like the same thing. Why do we want our shorts and skirts so short? What's wrong with a little length? I'm not talking about the skirt-to-the floor thing, but at least right above/below our knees. We don't have to wear these skirts/shorts so short that when we bend down, people can see what we had for dinner last night and horrifyingly enough even a little lipage too, provided these gals opted not to sport one of their many thongs on that day. What happened to the old "sexy"? What happened to the short sleeve shirts from Old Navy and our shorts from K-Mart/Target/Walmart? What happened to our Converse? I'm beginning to miss the 80's and 90's. We seemed to be more "in style" back then.

Is the modern day "sexy" too hard to handle and completely over the top? Or, is it that I simply can't keep up? If being "cool" and "in-style" involves dressing up as a whore, I'm not interested. I'd like to thank those who seem to have some self-respect, and who prefer to cover up instead of expose. I'm not saying that all women are like this, but that a large population are. Let's work together and gain some self-respect, ladies...we don't have to dress like that to look beautiful. It's how beautiful our personality and hearts are...and if a guy can't handle us with our hair in a messy bun/pony-tail, sweatpants, no make-up, and our favorite slippers and comfy shirt then screw them. If looks are all that matters to them, they need to reconsider their views on women. Maybe the pressure to be perfect has put an image in our head to have the sexiest body and wear the "sexiest" clothes. Maybe we're beginning to fold under the pressure. We need to stand tall and show that we can be beautiful without looking like a whore, and prove to men that looks aren't all that matters. Maybe we should bring back the 80's and 90's style. Maybe...just maybe - if we can get lucky...the next generation will realize how stupid this is and bring back the classy sexy. Maybe, we still have a chance to redeem our self-pride and self-respect and cover up a bit...hopefully. All we can do is try and take that risk to be original. Maybe our style doesn't have to be whore-rendous. Also, on that note...the girls of my generation are indeed dressing like thirty-something-year-olds. With that I wonder that in this youth obsessed culture, will the girls of my generation grow into mature and responsible women...or will we simply be thirty five going on fifteen?
