9/27/2023 0 Comments Pre teen undies![]() “Who’s buying it?” Sometimes it’s hipster parents who whip out their wallets & roll their eyes with “it’s no big deal, get over yourself” defiance. Provocative sayings like “Sweet Spot” and “Love Me” have always been crass to me, but somehow in size 6X it merits a resounding Whoa, this is NOT okay. It’s called “age compression” in ad speak, for the ‘pink’ tween eyeing the VS displays in thong-n-garter, buxom/bondage-splendor is the ‘growth opportunity’ in marketing lingo for VS wannabes.Įvery week I continue to document my own little shop of horrors: “Juicy” and “Luscious” plastered on girls backsides and chests, lacy, racy g-strings marketed to tweens, even ol’ Snoopy’s hawking teeny weeny panties at LimitedToo. Why do they have to DO that, mom?” Dollars, dearest. My 10-year old recoils at the mall mannequins in full crotch-spreading poses, sighing, “ugh. What’s inspired this mini-revolution of mine? …Corporate profits are going ‘ka-ching’ while little kids’ psyches are going ‘ka-boom.’ When I finish my work, you’ll be able to see for yourself what’s literally ‘coming out of the mouths of babes’ as childhood innocence is hijacked for profit. …”These kids are getting hammered from every media channel imaginable leaving scars that have only BEGUN to seep to the surface. (so thanks for unveiling my film premise!) I’m writing/producing a series of internet film shorts, “Body Blitz: Media, Shaping Youth” because we’re reaching a tipping point of toxicity with body image messaging to kids. “ You’ve hit a nationwide nerve that I’m addressing this very nanosecond. Locally in our mall, Victoria’s Secret ‘pink’ line of panties is currently propped with predominant mannequins touting, “take a picture it lasts longer” and other bottom-feeder bait for teens to jump on into the online judgment calls for best buttocks & babe-alicious attention-seeking fame monster provocateurs.Ĭorporate pedophilia, anyone? So sexy so soon cues to kids?Īt the very inception of Shaping Youth, I had people ask me, “what got you started down this path?” And this thong/preteen topic sums it nicely, as I wrote to that Alternet author way back then, ![]() ![]() Wait, no, American Apparel is not just ‘encouraging’…They’re baiting, rewarding, incentivizing, and running a mass market freakin’ contest with echoing reverb in merchandising in malls that ‘tie-in’ their branding to evoke similar themes. Now, fast forward to 2010 with amped up social norms of commodification of kids, sexualized media and marketing at every turn, (beyond Victoria’s Secret/LimitedToo Candies and Kohls have now taken it mainstream) and the no-holds barred raunch of American Apparel encouraging kids to plaster their backsides on the web… ![]() Heartily agreed, way back in 2006 (the very first days of our pre-launch fledgling Shaping Youth org) and responded with this diatribe on toxic ambient marketing and this one on the teen/tween unrealistic body image scene. Are ‘extreme low-rise v-string’ panties the gateway drug to peekaboo thongs and push-up bustiers, or are they something even more disturbing? Regardless of what VS considers its target audience, the Pink line just may be the Joe Camel of early adolescent sexuality - an adult industry using childlike imagery to drum up interest.” “I’m all for sex appeal, but using butts as billboards is disturbing among adult women - and downright scary in prepubescent girls…. A few years back I commented on the post Confessions of a Lingerie Lover by Fae Goodman on Alternet and copped to being “one and the same.”įae uncorked a doozy of a conversation that brought out the best/worst in femme debates as she pithily contrasted the difference between adult media messages and ‘costuming’ cues and the marketer’s desire to target adolescents, salivating with ‘aspirational’ wannabe merchandising and “KGOY’ effect (kids getting older younger).

Spanish vocabulary lists and cheat sheets can be incredibly useful – especially for revision (although flashcard apps like MosaLingua are even handier and more effective!).

The Best Spanish Dictionary on the Internet Here is a list of the 9 best online resources so you can decide which Spanish dictionary is right for you! That’s why we’ve created this guide to the best Spanish dictionary available on the Internet, as well as its contenders.

Instead, you can simply head to an online Spanish dictionary website and have its resources right at your fingertips. Luckily, you no longer have to lug around a huge paper dictionary wherever you go. Whether you are just beginning to grasp the Spanish language or are close to becoming an expert on it, a Spanish dictionary is a must! It helps students develop the skill to look something up, use something as a reference and can act as a tool to increase their Spanish vocabulary.When learning Spanish, it’s critical that you have a good dictionary, among other important language learning resources, to maximize your learning and become fluent in Spanish in as little time as possible. Picture dictionaries in Spanish are great tools for kids to use in the classroom. Oxford Picture Dictionary for Kids (English/Spanish) If you have a large budget available and would rather purchase Spanish dictionaries rather than assemble your own (or have them available in addition to the others) than these are some good choices for kids:Ģ.

In the Spanish dictionaries (one alphabet themed and one dictionary sorted by themes) I have kids do a variety of writing activities.

This is certainly a great option for a very small business or sole trader. Single device / single user – in relation to the above, one could argue the alternative for a business would be to use WhatsApp Business App.Unless the company is gathering employees phones in at the end of each day and manually checking through each conversation, it is impossible to see what conversations are taking place between employees of the business and clients or other stakeholders. You can choose from many different chatbot platforms available in the market, so that you do not have to start from scratch. It’s extremely essential to pick the best chatbot platform which will set up and integrate the chatbot with the WhatsApp Business API.

And more often than not, the wardrobe malfunction is rooted in a thigh-high slit.įrom Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham to Paris Hilton, there’s been no shortage of stars who flashed a bit too much when striking a left-leg-out pose. Live performances complete with moving and grooving may cause some rips and tears in attire, but the red carpet has also seen a fair share of mishaps. Rather than call it quits early, she simply changed into a bathrobe and continued twerking away. “I just wanna let y’all know that my outfit ripped,” she said according to the Tennessean. During a performance at Bonnaroo, the star’s jumpsuit broke down her butt. Lil Nas X’s pants split down the front, but Cardi B had same issue with her backside in June 2019. “I know I do a lot of planned s-t, but ripping my pants on live television is not one of them,” he joked on the social media platform.
