Xciting dress??

[RICHARD]

Skimpy prom dress shocks parents

A skimpy prom dress aimed at teenage girls has sparked outrage among US parents.

The racy red dress, which has just two straps that barely covers the wearer's chest, is being aimed at young girls through adverts in girls' magazines.

It is so revealing that some shops are insisting on getting parental permission slips before allowing girls to buy it.

And even the maker's boss admits he would never allow his own daughter to buy it.

But amazingly the £265 dress, which critics say turns girls "from a Prom princess to a porn queen", is one of the firm's best sellers.

The dress, by Xcite, is prominently advertised in magazines like Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom.

Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, admitted: "I was shocked when I first saw it. I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.

"But now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide. As a businessman, I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."

--------------------------------------------------

I won't let my own daughter buy it and it's up to the parents to decide.


Lovely.

But other than that, We'll take your hard earned money!!

-------------------------------------------------------

Schools will issue a memo to the parents that they are not to sent their daughter dressed in this dress.

Parents will sue to get their daughters to attend the prom, in the dress.

5 months before the prom......Who wants to make a bet?




:rolleyes:

[Pit Chick]

I'll take that bet.

From Prom Queen to Prom Mom. :rolleyes:

That would be the DAY I would let my daughter wear that. AT ALL!

[Pit Chick]

Good Lord, could that dress be anymore skankier?

Why do you insult skanks like that.......Skanks have more class.:confused:

[Tonya]

Holy Smokes! My sister's highschool had some issues last year and enforced a dress code with prom. Everyone was upset about it. But I don't think their issues were anything in comparison to that!

[popcornbird]

Sick! She's practically naked...:rolleyes::( I can't BELIEVE they would even sell that! :o

[Karen]

Like anyone could dance in that? Not!

[KYS]

Are you sure she is not wearing the dress backwards?

LOLOLOL,

I think that the Arthur Murray Dance studios are behind this.

Just think of all the lessons they will sell before the prom.;)



------------------------------------------

I just had another thought.

Somewhere in the United States there will be a gal who decides that she is going to be proper and not use any tape to keep the dress from moving away from her skin.


SUPER GLUE!!!!!

:rolleyes: :eek: ;) :( :D



For 500 dollars you'd think they would give you more dress.

[catland]

How do people come up with those ideas?www.tonyaharding.com/files/images/TONYA-HARDING_026.JPG (http://)

(sorry, I can't get the link to work, you may need to copy and past it)

[shutterbug0303]

So, Richard...you say $500 for this ridiculous dress?!?!? Trust me...I agree that this much money for so little material is senseless, but that is the trend in today's fashion...

Take swim-wear for example (only thing I could come up with for comparison)

This bathing suit (http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=NJ-182869&cgnbr=OSSWMOPSZZZ&rfnbr=158&page=1&cgname=OSSWMOPSZZZ) is listed for $86 (a ridulous amont for any bathing suit). Notice the amount of material used for this suit.

Now, take this bathing suit (http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=NJ-182840&cgnbr=OSSWMBIKBIK&rfnbr=1774&page=4&cgname=OSSWMBIKBIK). Although not the greatest example...much less material...for a ridiculous price!!!

Being slutty comes with a price (not saying that the bikini shown is slutty at all!! lol). Just seems that the fewer pieces of material, the more $$$ you're going to pay :confused:

Today's lesson......it "pays" to be conservatively dressed ;)

[Jods]

Thanks guys I was just gonna post a picture of this dress cuz I bought it for my semi formal :( :( :(







NOT :p :p :p :rolleyes: ;) ;) ;)
LMAO

what a dress indeed :eek:

All I can say is W:eek: W!

As for the price... I think it was Dolly Parton who said," It takes a lot of money to look THIS trashy!"


Funny story about using tape to keep things "in place". I had a friend who was rather "Well Endowed", she wore a dress once that was shall we say a little too small for her "Blessings(?)"... she had the brilliant(?) idea of using Duct Tape ... Do you know WHY they call it 70mph tape?
The ER doctors thought she looked pretty in the dress... :rolleyes: :D
FYI Duct Tape is not to be used for Derma Abrasion.

[cloverfdx]

Are you sure she is not wearing the dress backwards?
LMAO ;)

Jods too funny.

As for the dress *Gag* that is awful.

I ain't no fashion plate.

I do like one piece suits better. A little mystery is priceless!!!!

My ire is more directed toward the simps that wouldn't have their kids wear the crap, yet they'll allow someone else to put out the money for THEIR kids.

------------------------------

Lou,

Speaking of 70 MPH tape.......

In the old days, motorcycle jerseys were made of nylon with little ventilation holes. IF you didn't wear a t-shirt underneath your jersey after a few laps your 'milk ducts' would get beat to heck.

If you couldn't find or borrow a t-shirt, you'd get that 70 mph tape and tape those over.


Think of that!!

Being able to ride your motorcycle pain free and waxing your nipples afterwards!!!

:eek:

[lovemyshiba]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I can't believe anyone would let their daughter buy that dress!!!!!!!

It's disgusting

[QueenScoopalot]

Maybe for the semi-annual hookers ball (if there is one), but for teenagers? Give me a break! :rolleyes: I wonder how many little trollops will actually be allowed out in that! :eek:

[GraciesMommy]

Pretty tasteless and shameless...but there are parents out there that would buy it..

[slick]

So Richard, maybe that's what I should wear when I get off the plane in July.......:D :D :D

[LabradorLover]

Are you sure thats even a dress :p:eek: !! That is disgusting, why would anyone want to wear it? It's not flattering at all.

[dukedogsmom]

Nothing says "I'm a HO" like that dress. I'm sure her virginity is long gone. That's ridiculous. Any "parent" that would let their daughter wear that ought to have their head examined. That's a good future pole dancer's dress.

[micki76]

Here's a link that shows the rest of the gowns from the Xcite line:

I saw the dress on Fox New's Dayside the other day and they said this dress got it start when model put a similar dress on backwards.

[Barbara]

Some of them look appropriate for belly dancers. But good heavens - the complete series must be the worst style I ever saw:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Oggyflute]

Kind of makes me glad we just have our dogs to look after. :D

[catnapper]

I showed the dress to my husband and son... and they both said it was disgusting (as a prom dress... hi-fives from hubby and son on it as a sex dress :rolleyes: ) If an 18 year old male finds it repulsive on a model... he's certainly NOT going to want to see his sister or girlfriend in it!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Well...

with everyone teaching kids it is o.k. to have sex as long as it is protected.. what kind of dress do they expect them to buy???


I mean that is the night they are supposed to loose their virginity...:rolleyes:

[Pit Chick]

I think the red one would make even a belly dancer blush. The red one is trashy, along with the identicle black one, but some of the rest are cute (just not for teenagers to wear to prom).

[catland]

They sort of remind me of Cher in her Bob Mackie/Oscar extravagaza days.:eek:

Funny thing is - the dresses aren't really attractive at all (except #8 - I kind of liked that one)

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOLOL,

I just thought of something.

All the women in the pics for the dress line had no figures at all.


So, sit back, close your eyes and think about what the girls at the local high school look like, and then think of what a 16-18 year old girl will look like in that dress.

-------------------------------

"Close your eyes, Mom, I'm coming into the room....."


"Oh, you look lovely darling!!!":eek: :rolleyes: :o :(

[Pit Chick]

God forbid a busty girl wear it and have to sneeze.

Hachoo. boing

[Kristl]

Maybe for a costume party...as a hooker!;)

[Vio&Juni]

Come on, guys, there's a lot of dress on that girl.

That reminded me a former co-worker. She came to the Christmas party wearing a dress that was like a snake around her body (very thin snake, I must say) and between the snake it was only a very transparent net, so you could see a lot of her not-so-thin body. I was ashame to look at her. And I am not a puritan!

[Nomilynn]

I agree some of them are pretty inappropriate, but I looked up xcite online and some of the dresses are actually really unique and pretty.

And I honestly don't think that teaching safe sex has ANYTHING to do with what kids wear. I think that these styles are more a result of what has been made popular with people in the media... like Brittany, for example.

[Twisterdog]

Wow. I don't have a daughter, but if I did, she would NOT be leaving the house wearing that. YIKES!


And I honestly don't think that teaching safe sex has ANYTHING to do with what kids wear. I think that these styles are more a result of what has been made popular with people in the media... like Brittany, for example.

I completely agree. Safe sex has been around a long time, at least since the 80's. When I was in junior high and high school in the 80's we were definately taught about safe sex ... and we definately did NOT dress like that!!!

Sorry, but the VAST majority of teenagers are going to have sex. Hormones rage, that's the way it is. This is nothing new. You think teenagers weren't having pre-marital sex in the 50's, the 40's, etc., when they wore MUCH more conservative clothes than they do today? Puhleeze.

I'd MUCH rather have my son alive, healthy and not a father, thanks.

[dukedogsmom]

I agree with Twisterdog.

I just didn't understand what all they hype is about ... when they don't care if the dress ends up coming off at the end of the night anyway.

[dukedogsmom]

Well, you've got to leave something to the imagination :)

[ebbys dad]

its a bikini not a dress.................maybe for a beach,as long as you are over 21.

[Pit Chick]

It's a dress???:confused: I thought it was some really fancy overalls. :D

[RICHARD]

Safe sex has been around for a long time.

RESPONSIBLE safe sex, too.

It's teaching kids to be responsible for treating each other with respect.


Guys don't use the 'brains' that god gave them.

I think the question is more about letting a young woman leave the house dressed like that-even in private, it's really too much of not enough.....

Here come that 'r' word again. Responsibility.

Should you let your daughter out dressed like that, are you ready to accept whatever evil she may encounter during the evening?:confused:

God gave y'all brains?? ;)

I agree. Parents need to be responsible and teach their kids responsibility. No one ever has to take the blame for their actions anymore these days. And it's much more important to let a child have privacy and freedom. If a kid does something wrong or stupid, it must be because they saw it on TV. Come on, :rolleyes: I never thought it was ok to drop an anvil on my brother's head because I saw it happen on Bugs Bunny cartoons. I was still a teen when Brittany Spears came on the scene, but I didn't think it was ok to dress and act like her and my mother would have never let me. She had the money and ability to buy my clothes or supervise my choices, not the other way around.

And two places to keep them.

Of course, one is primal and the other is supposed to be rational.

But even god makes mistakes!

Woman sells breasts as billboards

A British woman is making money on eBay - by selling ad space on her breasts.

Angel Brammer, 27, from Greenock, Scotland, will wear a company logo on her 42G cleavage for 15 days.

Thousands of companies in the US have already bid for the right to use her breasts as makeshift billboards.

She said: "I have had a lot of unusual offers."

------------------------------------------------

See,

I knew there was a use for that dress.

[Pit Chick]

42G?? :eek: How does she keep from crushing her lungs with that much weight on them when she sleeps?

I thought she was getting 42g's, as in money, to put the message on her chest.

I wear a 40G. It's HORRIBLE.

[dukedogsmom]

At times like this, I am so glad that I wasn't "blessed" I wear nothing when I'm not working. I honestly don't know how I would take it if I had to wear one all the time. I think I would go insane. They are so uncomfortable!

Pregnant woman sells bump as billboard

A single mum-to-be is auctioning off her bump as advertising space on eBay.

Eight-months pregnant Elise Harp, from Roswell, near Atlanta, Georgia, is trying to raise money to bring up her baby daughter.

She got the idea after Nebraska man Andrew Fischer raised nearly £20,000 by selling his forehead as ad space for a month.

Elise said: "After thinking about it I figured I'd give it a try as well but instead of using my forehead, I'd use my pregnant belly as the billboard.

"Being pregnant and alone has been hard, but I'm trying very hard to earn some extra money to help build my daughter's nursery and buy her the necessities she needs."

Elise says she will wear the logo or slogan of the winning bidder on her maternity clothes - or even have it painted on to her bare bump if the weather turns warmer.

"Basically, I'm going to be walking around Atlanta's busiest malls, restaurants and any events I can get in to. Their ad should of course be acceptable for all eyes to see," she said.

Elise, who split up with the father of her baby after she became pregnant, says she won't advertise anything offensive.

That dress wouldn't have made it past the doors at my high school. I wouldn't even have worn that. I don't think most girls would wear that so there isn't that much to worry about.

[Suki Wingy]

yeah, some people sold "the right to officially name their baby" on Ebay!:rolleyes:

I admit, high school WAS 20 years ago....however, I do NOT remember our prom night's theme as "Let's lose our virginity"...really, SLHT- it IS more than what you wear that dictates what you will/won't do. I do NOT advocate abstinence. Why? It doesn't work. But, that doesn't mean one necessarily is a woman/man of no values. Just different values than yours.

Having said that...oh to be young again to even be in a position to THINK about wearing such a thing....even pre-Jonah, it would have been a crazy dream...:D

[NoahsMommy]

Oh my....that dress is horrible!! It made their mid section look really bad...but I guess a guy would even get that far. ;) ewww!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

With a dress like that, someone is liable to lose an eye...

Sigh, some people. I wouldn't pay $5 for that thing. The hubby said if our daughter asked to wear that he would come unhinged lol

I think I'd be a little unhinged too.

Although it could be worse. Just immagine what would happen if BOYS showed up to prom in that! *I knew some guys in High School who would wear that to prom just to irritate the principal*
