4/24/13 Today's mail held a CCV newsletter with an excerpt from Evan Dolive's blog.
Victoria's Secret is launching a new line of undies aimed at middle-schoolers. Their "Bright Young Things" line will feature "lace black cheeksters with the word "WILD" on them. There's even a lace thong with the words, "Call Me" on the front. As a dad of a 3 yr. old daughter, this made him sick.
It makes me sick as well. As 18 month old Lucy's Shug, I don't want her self-worth during her adolescent years "conforming to the world"(Romans 12:2) by focusing on words emblazoned on her under panties.
Dolive (3/22/13 & 4/4/13) put it well listing the appropriate concerns he wanted in his daughter's mind at that age....
- Should I be a doctor or a lawyer?
- Should I take calculus my junior year? Should I go to Texas A&M or U of Texas?
- Should I raise awareness of slave trafficking or lack of water in developing nations?
These are questions that he hoped she would be asking, NOT will a boy (or girl) like me if I wear a "call me" thong?
VS told ABC news and W'ton Post that the focus is for their "pink" group not just tweens. When it's about money, do you believe them? I don't. I'm trying to find the petition that parents are signing to voice their disgust. If I find it, I'll let you know. Til then, just know that VS greed and exploitation of young women makes me sick. Shame on Victoria's Secret!
