When Did Everyone Start Dressing Like Strippers?

[live and let live]

Hi

I'm from the UK and agree totally about standards of dress, and have noticed over the last few years many women of different ages and sizes dressing more and more scantaly. Each year necklines plunge lower and skirts get shorter, even on T.V. progams such as QVC.

If people want to dress like that in the privacy of their own home fine, but I dont want it in my face in public areas. To be honest it seems worse in the UK than Disney, in below freezing weather many girls here are in strappy tops and no coats. (BRRRRRR! )

My dads perspective is the same as some men have stated on here, i.e. some women are almost bare chested, and if men look they get accused of being dirty old men.

My thoughts are don't put the goods on display if you don't want people looking.

When we go to Disney this christmas I hope everyones covered up (yes this is judgemental lol)

Funny you should ask... when I was at Epcot in September, there was a woman in a pink bikini top and a very short matching skirt with ruffles on her "bottom". I was probably only a little less shocked than you...

Anyway, later that day I encountered three women in a DSA in World Showcase, and somehow we started talking about the way Guests were dressed. One of them had started taking photographs of Extreme Theme Park 'Fashions' and was considering doing a book. Yep, they'd seen the same tacky outfit I had - that was her inspiration

Hey

Great scrapbooking theme anyone know how to set up a board for this? lol

So lets get this clothing thing out of the way: Everybody nekkid from now on, Weather permitting

I'm there, let's do it.

I'm not going to go around wearing your "clothes", and promoting your "decency".

You know, as I write this, I started thinking. I don't wear logo'd clothes anyway, at least not clothes with huge logos, so maybe nekkid ain't so bad. Let's skinny dippin' at B'rer Rabbit's Laughin' Place (that sounds funny)



I have now gone emoticonmad

My whole trip, I don't think I noticed what anybody was wearing but my family.
Also, someone did try a what not to wear article with photo's and everyone jumped all over them and it had to be removed.

Extreme Theme Park Fashions, now that it FUNNY!

Among our contributions of what we saw from last week's trip:

Woman, well beyond DD cup size in a bikini top at MGM

Chunky teenager in short shorts, writing on her bottom, bent over to let everyone in the International Showcase see all of her national pride.

Tube top on a tub.

Thong above the waistline, tatoo below the waistline all on the same woman.

More cottage cheese than a dairy produces in a year. (This is the pot calling the kettle... but at least mine was under a pair of capris!)

Slogans that all could be summarized as "I am a *" on a myriad of t-shirts. Question: What kind of mother would allow a ten-year-old to wear a shirt that says "Boy candy"?
Bra straps, bra straps and oh I almost forgot, bra straps, bra straps...

Muffin tops galore (belly fat hanging over hip-huggers). I can't help but wonder how the world looks at the height of my 7yo son.


QUESTION: Whatever happened to the Disney dress code? I rememeber when Disney used to fiercely implement one. Why the change?

Lastly, in all fairness, the crowd looked much better in the parks than when we went to DTD on the day that all the other parks (Universal, Seaworld, etc.) were closed. Now that was a scary looking bunch!

When my husband and I went to the MK on our honeymoon in 1990, I went in wearing an almost-to-my-knees skort and a matching top that came down about halfway to my navel. The top had short sleeves and I was well covered if you know what I mean, there was no way it could come up unless someone pulled it up because it was a knit, kind of a halter thing but with a back to it. My skort covered my navel so there was just about 4 inches of skin between my top and the skort. When I went to go in, the CM stopped me and said "watch your top" which kind of surprised me at the time because it seemed very much "ok" as I was completely covered and my navel didn't show. But I thought about it and appreciated that he said it. The last time I went which was in May of this year, there were women walking around in string bikinis and tiny shorts, navels (and more) showing, obviously they weren't told to "cover up" when they went in! Guess things have really changed in 15 years.

I am glad someone else admitted to this. The scrapbook idea is great. The last couple of trips I have taken a few of these "Xtreme Theme Park Fashion" photos; much to my DW's dismay. I know that I could never post them on the board because who knows it might be someone who reads this but I hope not!

String bikini's?!?! Butt Cheeks!?!

Shucks.....I gotta quit going to WDW in December.


Loved the "muffin tops" line...that's a keeper.

I've been in both August and January . Much, much less nekkid-ness in January!

 

[MickeyMacks]

"SPANDEX IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT" Love it! Now THAT'S a keeper!

(Honorable mention for Muffin Tops! I always wondered, do young guys actually find teen belly and hip fat hanging over jeans attractive? Eeww....)

We also just returned & were surpised to see 'young girls' maybe 8 or 9 years old wearing short skirts & black boots that came up to their knees. Some even had black fish net nylons on. Who are the fashion designers these days?????!!!!!

 

[Eeyore2003]

I really am too busy having a good time to pay attention to what people are wearing at the parks at Disney World, except for heels, I feel very sorry for people in high heels. Their feet and ankles GOTTA hurt!!! I remember on the "ugly shoe" site a picture of a family in crocs, I guess beauty is in the comfort of the wearer, not in the opinions of others.

One thing I DO wonder though, just in general in life, not Disney World specifically. Who made it appropriate for guys to go around with no shirts, sometimes "chests" larger than some women, and guts that hang out over their falling shorts??? Wonder who makes the rules on what's "ugly and inappropriate" and what's not??? It's definitely a culture thing, since in many cultures "scantily clad, or not even clad" is the norm, but I wonder who in "history" decided this.

To put it very short. hen they wonder why there are so many rapes. Well

You have got to be kidding me......

Someone please close this thread!

 

[tink too]

Thong bikini's in a WDW theme park? Wow, that does shock me!

I'm from Scotland so there is no call for bikini's of any sort to be worn outside at any time of year!

I do remember a while back reading in our national press that Marilyn Manson had been refused entry to WDW and wondered what he'd been wearing that day as I have seen many photos of him "out and about" in "normal" clothes - jeans, shirt, jacket and hat!

How do CM's decide what's appropriate and what's not?

 

[DisneyMom5]

So the fashion police have spoken - only those who dress "classy" are to be allowed at WDW

Personally, I'm a "live and let live" kind of guy; when I'm on vacation, I've got dozens of other things to occupy myself with than condemning other peoples' clothing.

I strongly believe that a child is going to be a heck of lot more scarred by seeing murders and violence in the media than by a butt cheeck or cleavage at WDW.

Hmmm.... Who said "Judge not, that ye be not judged?

Now that's funny! Quoting the Bible to back up being scantily clad!
You see, the difference is: If I think someone is exposing too much of their private "goods," and do not say anything about what kind of person they are, I am not judging them. I am only giving my opinion on clothes.
People are too quick to both judge people based on their looks, AND judge others based on their opinions, don't you think?

And I am responsible for what goes in my children's heads, on movies, tv, AND at themeparks. I don't want my boys growing up to think a woman is only the sum of her "PARTS" if you know what I mean.

To put it very short. hen they wonder why there are so many rapes. Well

What an idiotic statement to make. Surely you don't think that only women who dress in short skirts get attacked, do you? You might want to rethink this very offensive statement.

I have to say that I'm 27 and do own some low rise jeans, belly shirts, and lots of stillettos. Note that I DO NOT wear all of these things at the same time! I also own a lot of classic, conservative clothing as well. When I take a trip to Disney, I am very aware of the fact that there will be children around, so I do not bring any clothing that I feel would not be appropriate.

But I think people in general are not dressing the way they used to. I come from a family that believes in dressing appropriately for the occasion. My fiance and I went to the opening night of a play in Philadelphia last night. I wore a skirt and sweater, he wore a sweater and slacks. I was amazed by how many people went in jeans, sneakers, and sweatshirts. I know what people wear shouldn't be such a big deal, but I do notice a drastic difference between when I was young and going places with my parents and now.
