Too much skin showing at school?

Malena Schroeder's new proposal for the Mundelein High School District dress code.

It's increasingly difficult for my conservative 16-year-old daughter to find clothes that are not revealing. I've gone with her; it blows my mind what the stores put on the racks for teenage girls.

You and me both!! It is so frustrating. Little girls size 12-14 pajamas have " SEX" written on them . I was going to write Kohl's and complain. Maybe we ought to have a massive FREEP on some stores, companys and sponsors.!!!

The red X is preferable.

[Larry Lucido]

Stop that! I'm trying to get some work done!

[mvpel]

But, but.... if you're single digits, how the heck will you fill out a Xena costume? *sniffle*

[Skooz]

At the time of our wedding, my wife's best friend wore a 0. That's right, a zero.

That has been my wife's standard of perfection ever since. You can't reason with a sickness like that.

[mvpel]

Leather is tough for most people to wear, especially leather pants on men.

Pants that fit like a cheap hotel - no ballroom.

(My sister-in-law was watching it, I swear!!)

Hey, nothing wrong with Size 14 -

I agree! One problem with teenage girls these days, and a lot of grown women, is that they have been brainwashed into thinking that a size 14 is FAT. That is ridiculous! The 'Twiggy' idea never left, apparently!

I remember reading once that one of Steve Tyler's daughters was a 'Plus Size' model. I was further astounded when I read that she was a size 14! How degrading that must be for a healthy teenager who wears a size 12 or 14 to read that she's considered 'Plus Size' with all the negative connotations that entails!

Besides, if I ever make it back down to a Size 14, I'm gonna consider myself SKINNY!! ;o)

At one point not too long ago, my wife was a 00 (double zero). She still trys for a zero when she can get away with it. She'll take 2 if I can convince her that maybe that particular brand just runs small. The main problem is that she also wears petite, so it becomes doubly hard to find reasonable clothing: whatever is still on the rack is poorly styled or unwearable. At the moment her "delicate condition" is making it particularly hard to find clothing (do small ladies not get pregnant? I guess my wife missed that memo). I shudder to think what the styles will be by the time my kid ready.

[SuziQ]

AARGH!! My eyes! ;o)

[SuziQ]

Sure, if you want her to look like a mountain lesbian.

Just shows you haven't checked out the clothes at EITHER Lands End OR Eddie Bauer, lately!

[mhking]

Just 'cause they make it in your size, don't make it right for you to wear!

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[MoJo2001]

LMAO! This is so ghetto. I could take pictures of all the chicks that walk by my house from the High School. I can always spot the ones with mamas that are hoochies. Their daughters tend to look just like them.

Speaking of which, one of the mama's is walking down to see the neighbor right now. BOOTY CALL TIME!

That's it from my Ghetto. Back to reality!

Jessy Wisniewski, another junior, likes to wear shorts or skirts to school and said she has been sent home for sporting clothes considered too risque. "I'm 16. I can legally drive. But people are going to tell me (what's) appropriate for school?"

This girl is very lucky she is not my daughter. Smack!

[Modernman]

Just shows you haven't checked out the clothes at EITHER Lands End OR Eddie Bauer, lately!

My fiance came up with the mountain lesbian line (she's more of a Bebe, FCUK, Guess, Frederick's of Hollywood, Agent Provocateur kind of girl). I'm more of a Banana Republic/Club Monaco/Diesel type guy.

[mhking]

My daughter just turned 13. Of course, that means she now knows everything.

My daughter is 15. I told her that she can only go out of the house in long overalls.

And a turtleneck.

I wonder if they make teenaged burkhas....

[presidio9]

This girl is very lucky she is not my daughter.

Unfortunately, no she isn't.

[Skooz]

I wonder if they make teenaged burkhas....

If you find some, let me know where to buy them.

[RosieCotton]

Oookayy...haven't heard of half the brands you mention. Guess I'm dooooomed. ;-) I LOVE most of what Eddie Bauer makes. Good quality, flattering, durable clothing.

Heh...and I may be mountain, but I'm far from a lesbian!
