I'd like to read what else you have on the subject-with a house full of girls, this is an ongoing topic of thought for me.<BR/><BR/>Your friend Miranda was in costume, that's true. I'm trying to imagine one of our girls trying out for a play. If she were to find out the costume was extra revealing, I would hope that she would decline the part or if appropriate, work out an alternate costume. I don't think it's okay to be immodest and justify it as a costume. Let me know if I missed your point and made a mess of it all :)<BR/><BR/>I also agree about modesty being culturally determined. I don't black out Usborne books, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866718553889782693.post-40932272687130163812008-12-04T11:36:00.002-08:002008-12-04T11:36:00.002-08:00This comment has been removed by the author....https://www.blogger.com/profile/15093885785237646772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866718553889782693.post-70284444649567517172008-12-04T11:36:00.001-08:002008-12-04T11:36:00.001-08:00I do agree with Luke, in that she was wearing a co...I do agree with Luke, in that she was wearing a costume. When you watch tv you have to be aware of what is on...if you see Victoria's Secret in the title, you don't watch if you find it offensive. I do believe that there are enough cable stations out there and there could be a better "theater" for this show. Let the networks entertain us with real melodrama!...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15093885785237646772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866718553889782693.post-50605282712676342922008-12-04T11:36:00.000-08:002008-12-04T11:36:00.000-08:00I do agree with Luke, in that she was wearing a co...I do agree with Luke, in that she was wearing a costume.

Even if I completely disagreed with you, I'd just pipe up with my two cents [smile].<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Umm...<BR/><BR/>Oh my.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Modesty is a pet peeve of mine... the common "Christian" take on modesty, that is. Now, I'm not completely disagreeing with you here, but I'll start by challenging one idea:<BR/><BR/>"...I think there's a huge lack of decency in our society, and most of it could be alleviated with some [covering up]."<BR/><BR/>I agree that decency may not be were it has been in the past, and that it would be good to be a less promiscuous society. But modesty is culturally and situationally defined. Thus, what you wear to the beach is inappropriate for church, and what you wear to a funeral is inappropriate for a summer barbecue.<BR/><BR/>So, while, yes, Victoria Secret "fashion" shows don't need to be on TV--as in that context they are "soft" pornography--at the same time, Miranda is right: In the context of her participation in the show, she was "merely" wearing a costume that fit within the context.<BR/><BR/>Grr... I've written chapters on this subject. I really need to get my act together and get another draft of my book done.<BR/><BR/>This is an important topic.<BR/><BR/>My two cents for now. I've still got a pocket full of change, but I don't have time to dish it all out here [smile].<BR/><BR/> ~Luke<BR/><BR/>Ps. [laughing] Yes, Ms. Kerr and I are on a "first name basis" [smirk]... well, we would be if she knew I existed.Luke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866718553889782693.post-66166903463807356932008-12-04T02:26:00.000-08:002008-12-04T02:26:00.000-08:00Here, here!
