Do you think this was inapproprate?

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

AT the kids halloween parade today, one of the class moms dressed with her daughters. One about 7 and a toddler. All three were dressed as Tinkerbell. Let me say, that no other parent was dressed and to my knowledge marched in the parade and I am a class mom myself. Ok, so the woman who has a killer body had on nude shimmering tights, clear acryllic high heels, a green sleeveless lowcut tink bodysuit and some wings. It was hot here today so nothing over it. The best we can sum up is that she was a slutty Tink. She marched the entire parade and sprinkled pixie dust and most of it went on the dads I kid you not. So anyway, part of me says kudos to her for having the confidence, and the otherpart is saying WTH was she thinking. It would have been a great costume for an adult party. Any opinions? YOu had to see all the mens eyes. WOWSA!

As least she didn't come dressed as a Hooter's Girl.

good for her. no harm in it at all. i am surprised none of the other moms got in on the parade. sounds like she was having a good time.

Oh please, a slutty tinkerbell in a children's parade...you really gotta wonder about folks sometimes.

I think it sounds cute and harmless. Its only as bad as your allowing yourself to feel about it. You were jealous of the way she looked, as you said, didn't like all the attention she was getting, and probably had your back up from the moment you saw her. If it wasn't glitter falling in the wrong place, it would have been something else to upset you. When I admire a woman for her accomplishments or feel jealous about her fitness level, I use it as an opportunity to reflect on why I feel so threatened, then use that energy to kick start my workout routine or push me to study that much harder. Try not to let these things weaken the person you want to be in life. Good Luck!

Were you the slutty Tink in question?

As to the OP, sounds like a cute costume, but maybe not for a school parade, you little jealous minx you.

Why are you making so many assumptions about the op?? She said it would have been a great costume for an adult party. I think her point is, was it appropriate to wear to the school.

 

[Cantw8]

you should have peed on her Mootoo YES, not appropriate for a school parade

 

[allison443]

Our school wouldn't allow a student to march if she wore that outfit..I don't think they have any rules for the parents though!

 

[lesroi]

I think it sounds like a cute costume... Not something I would wear (I mean, COULD wear, lol) but I would if I could! Maybe not totally appropriate for a kid's party though.
Maybe she didn't realize the leotard was so low-cut?
If you really look at Tink, isn't her outfit a little risque?

Was she carrying her infant?

As least she didn't come dressed as a Hooter's Girl.

That is exactly what I wore to my DD4's Preschool program today-I threw hot wings into the crowd! They ate it up! (get it bad pun I love bad puns-sorry for pointing it out)....okay I did not wear that-I just had on a target halloween shirt and the necklace Ava made.

The outfit as cute as it sounds may not have been the best choice for a school event.

It's all about perception!!!

I too went to my dd's school and walked with the parade and I was not dressed up. All the teachers were (one as a very sexy looking super woman) The teachers asked why I wasn't dressed up - hmm-- no time was my answer.

As far as the teacher that was dressed up I thought good for her- if I had a size 2 body I would do the same. No harm done.

Having said that it is truly about perception and as I wasnt' there to see the inappropriate Tink I would say if her behaviour supported your impressions/observations then shame on her.

Dressing like a fairy ***** in front of a bunch of grade schoolers is not cute and harmless in my opinion. And it sounds like tinkerslut is the one with insecurity issues or else she wouldn't have to put herself on display and take the attention away from the kiddos who's parade it was.

I truely don't understand why women think they must display themselves for every Tom, Dick and Harry. The only guy who's seeing my goodies is DH. He brings home the 6 figures $$$, does the dishes,is scout master and holds my hand when I go to the dentist. He EARNS it, the rest of them can just piss off because I don't think my sexuality is the end all and be all of my worth as a human being. Even though most women seem to have swallowed that belief whole (I wonder who that benefits? not them )

Not appropriate for a school function, great costume for an adult party. I know at our high school she would have been sent home for that costume, why would it be different for a parent to come to school dressed like that, nope, not at school.

For all those that think it is ok, how would you feel if a teacher wore that to school?

 

[summerrluvv]

As least she didn't come dressed as a Hooter's Girl.

IMO, I can't come up with a reason an adult should be wearing a "bodysuit" at an elementary school unless they are preforming gymastics etc. A bodysuit with high heals - there's really no reason for it.

While I think it's great that she dressed up, I agree it was a better costume for an adult party.

It was you wasn't it? *** are you? Have we met, that you know me so intimately and even know how I was feeling? HOly crap lady, back up.

OP, this happened to me yearrrrs ago. My DS is now 24yo but I was the Classroom Mom with another Mom for his 2nd grade class. We put on the Halloween party. I went as a witch and the other mom came as a kitty...(ahh) she had on a skin-tight black leotard, a very long tail and little ears on her head. She kept meowing and purring....(ahh)!

Needless to say, I thought it was inapporpriate. I actually thought it was rather daring of her to show up like that BUT different strokes for different folks. Give me my WITCH costume anyday!!!

Thanks meatball. YOu got my point. It was not me saying I was jealous of her hooters, holy crap is it a full moon. ? If some people would read, I said I liked the costume but wasn't sure it was the appropriate place to wear it.
