Why did you wear THAT???

[cjb71870]

Like the Sienfeld episode. I use my exclamation marks to freely.

We had a person at the store I work at who was a little on hefty side. She woudl come in on her day off with a short top and low rise jeans on. Why? Because her boyfriend thought she looked great! It just goes to show that everyone has their own opinion and they are entitled to it! I am offended that my b-i-l wears tube socks and shorts. But I don't make him stay home!

I agree that people who are too large should not be wearing low rise jeans or "short" shorts with quite a bit of their midriff showing make me giggle, but do I care? Not in the least. It's none of my business.

I have quite a few relatives who are on the "large" size, including a niece who dresses like the description above. Does that make her any less of a person? If she's comfortable dressing that way, who am I to say anything? She is one of the sweetest, caring, most unassuming people I know, and if anyone automatically dismisses her based on the way she dresses, no matter where she's at, it's their loss.

this is confusing ....so you don't mind someone making fun of and laughing at your niece like you do with people you don't know? guess i was just raised differently since i was taught making fun of anyone was impolite and it really showed you were trying to make up for your own insecurities by putting some one else down... funny how some who claim it would be wrong to make fun of some due to race, ethnicity, ect have no problem making fun of some one who weighs more than they think is an "acceptable weight" .guess people are just getting more and more shallow and more and more rude

Egads. The sunburn she must have gotten...

Ouch!! I hope she put on a lot of sun block

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

Honestly. I don't understand why anyone would wear a skirt to Disney World.

Used to be illegal for women of a certain station to wear jewels and fancy clothes, if they weren't "gentry" or royal. Yet they could, and did, show their breasts in public, not only to nurse their babies, but as a fashion statement. Let me see, that was around the time of the Pilgrims.

Used to be unacceptable for a woman to show any limb at all, lest the vision of her pearly white ankle incite lust in any man in sight. Couldn't even say the word, "breast", even when referring to chicken (call it "white meat"). Loved those Victorians.

Both of these examples are in "the good old days", when people supposedly knew their place, and dressed with decency and respect. I guess "decent" is just a matter of fashion, wouldn't you say? I see nothing really wrong with wearing the fashion of the day. I would think it much more disturbing (and I DO find it disturbing) to see women in clothes that deform and restrict their natural movement, i.e., stiletto heels, bound feet, headdresses that restrict vision. Flame me if you must, because I realize these are cultural differences, and I should respect those. But I cannot respect a cultural practice which deforms the body and ruins the health of a woman, for the sake of acceptability. Give me a bikini top any day!

Florida is VERY warm, and you can expect to see these kinds of outfits at Disney, Target, Walmart, college campuses, etc. I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

[We-Luv-Disney]

Could be worse...in Myrtle Beach the trend of the kids that ride the non Harley bikes is to have a girl on the back with a very short dress w/o any bathing suit/panties/thong. Hard to ignore when their whiney bikes pass you with their dresses billowing over their heads. What a special treat for my DS's After a week, I became immune to it. Wouldn't their parents be proud!!!!

There's a fine line between dressing like a 'Ho and being tastefully sexy. Either way, what's appropriate in a club doesn't "fly" in a family amusement park - no matter how hot it gets. Save it for the water parks/beach. BTW, Myrtle Beach has a law against thongs on the beach. Not sure what the rules are in FL.

OH man Myrtle Beach is a disaster that weekend! We usually leave town or stay home for the entire weekend! You see nothing but "cheeks" everywhere you look. My son ask me one year why a lady had string in her but? I was speechless. You even see people "doing the deed" on the corner of the street or in their cars, backs of trucks. It's pretty bad!

While I would not be comfortable wearing that to Disney, I see nothing wrong with it. It's her body! Then again I live at the beach so I am use to seeing it. Dosn't bother me. And the girl in the picture is no where as bad as the bikers in MB!!

I think you missed the point. I'm saying there are things that I would not do or wear because they're not my style and seeing some people who dress that way makes me chuckle. Do I go laugh in their faces? Of course not. Do I point fingers and insult them because of what they are wearing? Never. Does that mean I'm shallow or insecure? Doubt it. Did I ever say I was putting them down? No, in fact, just the opposite. I said what they are wearing is none of my business if they are comfortable what they are wearing. You've never chuckled when a teenager walks by with purple hair, piercings everywhere and pants so big they have to hold them up to walk?

You have no idea who I am and to make an assumption about me is exactly what you are railing against. For your information, I am on the larger size too, so to think I'm making fun of someone because of their weight is so absolutely wrong it's laughable.

 

[crisi]

Some of us can't help being flat chested and having boyish figures.
What, exactly, is a 'womanly' body?

I find curves to be a prereq for a "great body." Flat chested and underweight doesn't do it for me (just as overweight doesn't do it for others). I find over skinny gross and sickly looking (and I was a 5'7" 97 lb 22 year old - too skinny! But then I was ill when I was below 100 lbs). I'm a "size six or eight, B or C cup with hips" girl. If you don't have cuves, no problem, just means I won't date you - doesn't mean your deficient. Since I'm a straight married woman, chances of me dating you were slim to start with.

I actually had to read that post quite a few times before I finally got it!! Shows how slow I am tonight!! I agree though. I thought at 5'8 125 lbs that I had a great body, that was until I had children and realized how good that extra weight really looked. I am now 145 lbs, and wear a size 6/7 and think I finally look really good!!

like i said ( and i just reread it about 5 times) it was confusing. one one hand you said you chuckled ( i said laughed, figure they are about the same thing) when you saw them wearing things and then said how if someone judged your niece due to her size they were missing out...still don't get it but i wasn't really intending to start a big debate. many have commented about "size" being the deciding factor and i don't see how size has anything to do with it

I never once said anything about someone's size mattering (if that's a word), but rather what clothes they were wearing. I was commenting about someone wearing clothes that don't flatter who they are. And I was trying to make the exact point you were making, that to judge someone by their size misses it, but instead I was called shallow and rude.

 

[jann1033]

sorry wdw lover like i tried to explain....i was thinking of the thread in general about the size .i should have spaced between the the part where i said i was confused and the part where i said about the making judgment's about size. the only reason i even quoted you is because i couldn't figure out what you were getting at( 3rd time i 've said that so so much for that.)

Or my BIL who wears brown dress socks with brown shoes WITH shorts...bad! I personally wouldn't want to try to get on and off rides with a mini denim skirt, maybe they were skorts???

Straight girl with BF here!

I do happen to agree though - I think the ****/hip combo looks great. I'm just not meant to have it (and it wouldn't be too great for my running!).

Oh fine, a thread devoted to picking on the half-naked chick then start on skorts!!!! What's next on the hit list: fanny packs & Crocs??? Be very careful, throw in a Disney T-shirt & always fashionable Mickey rain poncho & you're describing my usual park attire.

Who cares what people wear. No matter what you wear someone will feel that it is not right, meet up to their standards, or what have you. If a girl wants to wear a bikini top and shorts go for it. You go go anywhere, turn on the tv, go to the mall, what have you you, you constantly see women wearing even less than that. Do I think it is appropriate for women to show all their stuff? No, but does it offend me, no. What harm is it causing me or my kids, if I had any. NONE. It will not scar children for life, infact they will see things even worse than that. Oh yeah, ever take a look at Arial or Jasmine? Both of these chracters show a lot of skin, including the imfamous naval OOOOOH. What about them? How about arial just being covered up by clams? HMMM? If the costume that she wore, was true to the movie, Ya'll would have even more to complain about. So is it okay for them to draw it, but not show it? To a child it is all the same. Oh yeah, about the "overweight" people not allowed to wear the same things, BE QUITE ABOUT THAT. That may catch on, and I want have something to laugh about when I people watch! LOL Seriously though, people can wear what ever they want, as long as they are not wearing clothing that is made to attack you personaly, like a racist, drug, anti-religious t-shirt, then there is nothing to get all upset about. We live in a rated "R" soceity, I know that Disney should be rated "G" but at least it does not go past PG-13! In other words, at least they filter out what everyone would consider garbage, and not just personal opionions!


By the way the comment above about the overweight people, it is not that I am laughing at them about their size, but becuase of what they have on. I find it funny, just like thoes who wear dog collars, kids wearing way oversized clothing just for the saek of "cool" ect.

 

[Enchanted]

Jobie's right. The Disney Princesses show a ton of cleavage. But a girl in the park can't? In fact, she didn't seem to have a lot of cleavage. The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was, "She's going to have an awesome tan." The number one thing I dislike about summer is an uneven tan or tan lines. When we go to Disney, I always wear tanks or spaghetti tops so that I won't mess up my tan. I think many people are overreacting to what she was wearing. I would never wear something like that because I'm not comfortable enough in my own skin.

To all of those who don't want their children to see a girl in a bikini top, I wish to say this: shouldn't you be teaching them that it's what's on the inside that counts instead of turning your nose up about some poor girl. She may be one of the nicest people on Earth, but because she wears a bikini top in a public place she should be condemned to the inner circle of hell?

Personally, I think a lot of people are just jealous because that chick had a serious pair of abs....

If you want to see a larger picture of it, right click and select "set as background or wallpaper" then it will be a larger picture and you can see better. For the poster who said larger/overweight people offend them and they'd rather their kids see someone who takes care of themselves over someone overweight...how do you know that you don't need to wear a paperbag over your face as to not offend others? Just something to think about while you're out there judging all these "offenders".

Thank You Heather.
