But frankly most girls I see on the streets these days look fine to me. While I find it distressingly unambitious for anyone to wear jeans or t-shirts or tank tops in public, I find it no more shocking to see a 12 year old girl in the latest low-rider tight fashions than I do their mothers - usually less so. Do these people not remember the '80s, when we teens were all running around in acid-washed Guess jeans so tight they cut off our circulation, with heels? Sparkle eye shadow? Low buttoned blouses, big hair and racoon eyes?

You've apparently missed every episode and teaser for Springer, Jenny Jones, et al. for the past 5 years (each episode entitled, my daughter dresses like a ho). I think they're more disgusted with the HO wear, and I do mean HO wear. We're not talking low rider jeans and peasant tops. We're talking push up bras, thongs, short shorts etc. on 12 year old girls. Picture any rap video ho wear on a junior high aged girl. And don't forget the makeup and the gold spangle pants. We're not talking Daisy Dukes, which are cute enough in their own slutty way. We're talking street corner standing, lounge lizard dancin ho wear.

I would like to take a moment to thank every single higher power that exists for blessing me with a son. Carry on.

Sure. Keep telling yourself that. And then when he's 14 and brings one of those little ho bags home to meet mommy and he asks you for some condoms since the first one broke and she hasn't had a period in 4 months so what does that mean?

Ditto x 2. Seeing the stuff our teenage babysitters wear, I have to admit I'm pretty appalled. If I was a teenage guy on the other hand...

Why, oh why, was I cursed to spend my formative years in a time when puritanism was in and oversized sweatshirts were as racy as things got?? The humanity!!

Granted, the Springer/Jones genre of teen does indeed wear ho-wear. But the equivalent of past generations always did, too, that's no change. As someone pointed out, in 1986, there was at least an order of ho-magnitude difference between me in my acid washed jeans and someone in a see-through white lace top showing a black bra with "boy toy" belt a la Madonna. The whole "Teen Shock Horror Disaster!" tone of the NYT article is based on the notion that these were "nice" middle-class kids looking slutty, and the kind of slutty they were describing is not Jerry Springer slutty.

Oh dear lord another Clamato fan. I've had a glass or two with a couple who loves it. It's advertised on billboards on the south side of Chicago...

The Olsen Twins are taking over. First, they will buy Starbucks Inc. Then, they will become the king and queen of the world.

Ashley will be the king. She's taller.

I will make room for them in my lair. But only if they dress slutty.

The problem is that they are now dressing like actual Jerry Springer career sluts, not Future Stepford Wives of America dilettante sluts whose husbands will have actual Jerry Springer career sluts.

No doubt there were teen girls who dressed like Madonna in 1986. But I think the difference is that in 1986, a larger percentage of suburban parents were in the "You're not going outside wearing that!" school of thought. The parents who tut-tutted about the sexualization of prepubescent girls weren't pitied as prudes, as they are today.

Right now, I look upon the very rare 12-year-old who isn't showing her navel and bare shoulders, and I say a quiet fertility prayer for her parents, who obviously deserve to breed more.

Ditto. My only experience with Clamato is when a few of my friends and I were drinking in a frat house all night and decided to take a road trip at 4 in the morning. We stopped to get gas at 7-11 and one of the guys (a guy who never hung with us again after that) insisted on getting a Clamato. Not a good idea after you've been drinking all night. The minute he opened up that bottle, the car immediately smelled like the wharf. Comments ranged from "rancid tuna" to "cat food" to other rancid "tuna" items I shall not repeat here, but begins with "skanky."

But kids could wear those strappy tanks when I was little precisely because it was widely understood there was nothing sexual about it. Now the message is definitely tartier.

Recently, I saw a barely-pubescent middle schooler wearing a "Playboy" tank top, and badly wanted to beat the shit out of the stupid subservient little tool and her stupid subservient tool of a mom. Why not just drop her out of school and sell her to a pimp right now?
