Seeing a bunch of semi-formal pictures from various area high schools.
Many of the girls that I know to be 15-17 are shown with their huge happy smiles, feeling fancy in their dresses.
Some of the dresses are extremely short (enough that I’d be annoyed by inability to lean over), some have prodigious cleavage (enough that I’d be annoyed by inability to turn suddenly,) some are accompanied by strappy spike heels (high enough that I’d be annoyed by sore feet and instability). The girls are in bright lipstick and coiffed hair.
But what struck me as I enjoyed how happy their smiles were, was that I knew that not one of them, not a single one, was dressed this way to attract sex.
The think they are fancy. The are fancy.
They think they look more adult. And they do.
And those things are ALL that the girls are looking to be. fancy grown-ups for the evening.
And it is certain that some people would look at the same innocent pictures and duck-lip poses and think, “they are asking for it.”
