My 2 yr old does not like it when I have to pull down the whole bathing suit, she likes just taking off the bottom, especially when it is wet. Although most of the time, my kids wear those SPF 50 two piece shirt and short swim outfits. -- Hillary Israeli, VMD Lafayette Hill/PA/USA/Earth "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Yeah, lots of toddler girls wear swim diapers and nothing else. *And personally I've never seen much point in a bikini top for a 4 or 5 *year old.

My 2 yr old does not like it when I have to pull down the whole bathing suit, she likes just taking off the bottom, especially when it is wet. I have seen some tiny little girls in tiny little bikini style tops -- not just a two piece with a tank like top, but two little patches of fabric floating around on their chest somewhere with nothing to hold them in place. ;-) I'll admit that I think it looks a little funny.

"P. Tierney" wrote "Ericka Kammerer" wrote i No. Anyone who wears skimpy clothing in that context is presenting a sexually charged image, regardless of their intent, because of the prevailing use and interpretation of such attire. Their intent is irrelevant, because neither I nor my children are privy to their intent. But people are capable of intelligent interpretation or, better yet, abstaining from interpreting altogther. Looking at the top that you posted and considering that a "sexually charged image" is not, imo, intelligent interpretation. I have been lurking and have a quick comment. Sorry to butt in If skimpy clothing does not present a sexually charged image, why do exotic dancers not wear long pants and turtleneck sweaters? Or do you deny that Hooters restaurants have quite a reputation for sexy wait staff because they wear micro mini skirts and plunging necklines? If clothing choice sends no message, then I must wonder why prostitutes consistently wear revealing clothing when searching for work. I am not saying that anyone who wears skimpy clothing is a prostitute, nor should be assumed as being such, this is just an example of why I think that it is a fact of our culture that clothing choice does send a message, whether or not a particular individual refuses to recognize the message. -kim |
