I took a look at the underwear, andI must say, it’s CUTE! If I had an 8 year old daughter, I would get it for her, because no daughter of mine would be wearing disgustingly loose, elastic-waist sweats, but rather nice-fitting trousers. And what does that require? A thong that won’t show panty lines. And I would much rather get her the cotton Abercrombie version than some polyester blend at Sears.
I think it’s sick your minds even WANDERED to the idea that the panties are meant to sexify young girls. Rather, I would say the little sayings like “wink wink” and “eye candy” allows the girls to be comfortable with themselves, and dare I say their sexuality before they reach preteenagerhood, a miracle in itself. Now I know that I will get bashed for saying that, but maybe you don’t realize that girls who are comfortable with their sexuality are LESS LIKELY TO START FUCKING AT A YOUNG AGE!Parents, abercrombie is not the problem. They simply do not carry slutty clothes, but rather comfortable classics that will last. You want to know what will REALLY prevent your kid from becoming a sexed-up, materialistic halfwit? Turn off the MTV and spend some time with them. Talk to them about your values. Let them know it’s OK to be an individual.
Let me use myself as an example: I shop at A&F, and at least 50% of my wardrobe is from there, but I am no conformist. My best friends in the world are goths and emo kids, though I try to be nice to everyone. I prefer to go to an opera or metal concert than some boozed-up frat house party (And not like I haven’t been invited!). I never turn down a good book. I’m a virgin. I put on gallons of sunscreen in fear of losing my un-tan, alabaster skin. Not exactly the stereotypical Abercrombie kid, eh?
And about Abercrombie catering only to skinn people, I don’t see waht is so bad about providing fat teenagers incentive to take up Tae Kwon Do and lay off the McDonalds. And I say that as a person who lost 60 pounds because I wanted to shop at stores like that. I went from an 18 to a 6. For the record, I couldn’t find any clothes that fit me at Hot Topic, either. Why should Abercrombie pollute its image with fat slobs? Its mean, a lot of people don’t like it, but its true. Wal-Mart isn’t exactly a “hawt: clothing store because of its association with fat soccer moms (Though I must say it’s a great place to get 5-dollar flip-flops ^-^)
So there’s my rant. Bash me all you want, try and find me, I could care less. Besides, I used a fake name, unlike that idjit who posted her city and middle school. Hope a pedophile finds you and makes you suck his dick in his basement.
