New Looks?

It's a new year...so why not a new look?  Not for you or me!  We look gorgeous dahling!  How about kids today.   I read an article from yahoo about trends that should disappear.  You can read it here.  It talks about everything from graphic tees--which as long as they are in good taste I do not mind--to bikini's(as in STRING bikini's) for babies.  What baby needs a string bikini?  It is not cute!  Not in the slightest.  I found it disturbing.  Go ahead, call me a prude.  I don't care.  I think it is totally inappropriate to sex up an infant.  There I said it.

It doesn't stop there.  Why would it?  There is also padded bras for your 7 year old!  Who thought this one up?  Pedophiles?  I mean really.  Help me out here.  Does a seven year old girl really NEED a padded bra.  It's hard enough watching them turn into a woman when the time comes.  Why push it?  Why are parents allowing their daughters to become this? 

Other trends listed were the Angry Birds.  I like them.  Sorry but I do.  They make me laugh.  It's a marketing frenzy with those guys.  SO maybe, yes it is overkill.  But I like those silly things.  The pigs are hilarious especially the way mock you.

Of course skinny and low rise jeans are another target of must be discontinued items.  And of course, sexy Halloween costumes.  What are your thoughts?

I think all of those things should be abandoned too...no wonder our girls today are so lost.
The "skinny" jeans are some of the worst because of just the name. Not that I wouldn't wear em if I was actually skinny, but since I'm not I'm gonna complain.
The padded bras for 7 year olds make me sick.

Yes the bra and bathing suit- so wrong. And agree with low rise too as way too often people that should not wear low rise do- and spare tires are things for cars- not something I want to see on a person.

Don't take my skinny jeans away, but yes, let's be rid of the children's padded bras and baby string bikinis!

I fault the designers and producers of these baby bikinis and prosti-tot outfits, but mostly I fault the parents. What are they thinking?

Ugh, that is disgusting! The bikini on the baby. Blech. Bra's for seven year olds? This just breaks my heart. No wonder society is so screwed up.

I guess my step-daughter's crack always shows at her mom's house with the jeans she buys. I"m not sure what she buys vs what we buy but her mom sent my hubs a text asking where we buy her jeans b/c we don't generally.... generally being the key word have that problem. But yeah, why are they trying to make little kids grow up way to fast. next thing you know we'll have kindergarteners losing their virginity, because they want to not b/c it was against their will (like rape, etc)

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
