rue I don't dress vintage, just a piece here and there, so I don't think it's what I'm wearing. But since starting this thread I'm learning to see the bright side of cute!
The lady at an estate sale said "You're so cute" to me at least three times. It was after I would say something, so I think for me it's a personality thing more so than looks, maybe.
Today on TCM they had two movies with "cute" roles for women. Shirley MacLaine in "The Apartment" and Marsha Mason in "The Good-bye Girl." But I have to add that Jack Lemmon and Richard Dreyfess were both awfully cute, too! I guess cute is alright, now that I think of it on the flip side!
I don't post on the FL to change the culture; I'm here to discuss it. And what's to say that some people reading this might not consider new ideas? I know I do when I'm on here.
No one said the parents are awful. I said I thought it was a bad parenting decision.
I'm guessing that's a passive remark where you are suggesting that there's no value in discussing this with others unless I write a strongly worded email to....whom? Ellen? The news? The only way it's going to change is if the culture changes. A letter won't do that.
I did all that, too, although I was a teen. Had I been six years old and my parents spied me rolling on the floor to "Like a Virgin" and filmed me and shared it with the world, I'd say that's nuts. So again, the kids are innocent, the parents and media, not so much.
Nah, I don't think anyone here is blind or naive enough to believe that yesteryear was puritanical. I do think there were stricter standards for what was acceptable. Did people still act out otherwise? Of course. And even if each day was bawdier than today, I would still stand by my contention...
Back on topic, the issue is a little girl singing dirty/misogynistic lyrics, having it broadcast to the world by her parents and the general public and media celebrating it as wonderful.
