In new news: Abercrombie and Fitch is teaching young girls/young women to be skanky. Oh wait, that's not new news. That's the reason I've never bought a single item there, nor do I outwardly support anyone's finances going to that company. I understand that they are cool and that it is terribly important to be amongst the cool people whilst in youth (even I bought one Tommy Hilfiger shirt to fit in, once upon a time). And yet, this is just wrong.
These girls deserve a great big 'atta girl'. This reminds me
very much of the news story ofrecent when a bunch of young ladies started an uprising about the hoocharific clothing found in nearly every juniors section of every department store. And whaddaya know - the cool thing this summer were those gypsy skirts, that were ::gasp:: either at-knee or below! I mean, it wasn't perfect (they were usually paired with a less-than-modest top), but it was a step in the right direction! And so, to those young ladies, I say kudos. Perhaps in revolting against the ridiculous at Abercrombie, similar stores such as Hollister and FCUK (and any others you can come up with), will try to follow suit.
And by the way, yes, the shirt I have featured is available for your favorite 13 year old to wear! What better message to send to pre-teens/teens?
Ugh.
I guess this pretty much perfectly piggy-backs on the post from Curt Jester from yesterday.
And once more...ugh.
Caritas et VERITAS.

I never understood Abercrombie. Last year for the day after thanksgiving, they had shirtless guys wearing shorts and santa hats standing outside the store. At first I wasn't too sure why you would advertise clothes with people who don't wear clothes, but then I remembered that's what A&F is all about: selling over-priced clothes that barely cover you up!
It is pretty cool that the clothes are getting more modest and cute. I work with the Missionaries of Charity in St. Louis, and the nun I help out told my sister and me that we were good examples to the kids we serve of people who dress modestly, but not like 90 year olds.
