I hope so, because I'd like to think that there are as few girls like that as humanly possible out there.

There's a lot of them out here in California. My favorite are the girls who wear clothing that would otherwise be cute, but it's 4 sizes too small. I always want to tell them "honey, no one can see the tag inside your clothes. Buy the right size or you'll forever bear a strong resemblance to a piece of sausage."

She reminds me of the little girl from the Pepsi commercials a few years back.

China hutch is not an okay display case for dolls. Unless you're an 80-year old grandma or under the age of 12, it is not ok to play dress up with dolls.

Is it just me or do some girls look like they have a normal shaped body but that they swallowed an inner tube? Skinny legs and upper body-- big middle. Is it today's fashions or are people just wearing the wrong type of clothing for their body types?

Speaking of leggings, please, PLEASE don't ever wear these:

This lady could use some leggings... her skirt's all the way up to her hoo-ha, and she has PATTERNED hose on! OMG! DON"T WEAR THIS... EVER! I don't care how old (or young) you are.

I blame low rise jeans for the spare tire look (or "muffin top") that has striken young women across our country.

Agreed! I HATE when I see a girl who is skinny or has a generally nice shape, but looks a mess b/c she insists on wearing low-rise or too tight jeans. Its not for everyone folks! Go ahead and get the right cut and size for you so that you can look nice rather than buying something that you want to wear b/c you think its cute on your friend but makes you look 3 sizes larger.

So true. Muffin top, especially when combined with "sausage thighs", is not an attractive look. Seriously, no one will see the size of your clothes unless you buy the mens Levi's with the waist and length on the tag. Buy what fits!!!

Those leggings are the scariest item in this thread. By far. I do not know how such a hideous item could make it to a store.

And those tight low-rise jeans do totally distort the female figure. I do not know how in the world are they considered sexy. They totally transform what is supposed to be an hourglass figure into something worse than the metabolic syndrome belly.

A girl in my 8th grade Ring Dance wore a dress so tight, you could see her crack. The design was like a strapless tube dress, but with see-through chiffon attached to cover the shoulders/back and arms. And a girl in the 6th grade graduation wore a sexy strapless dress with gloves that a 20 year old model in a TV game show wore originally. Even on the model it was still considered risque.

I think that was it's not pretty being easy.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but one rule I wish everyone would follow is this: Just because it comes in or is made in your size, that does NOT mean you should actually wear it. Seriously.

Someone brought up dressing for formals earlier. Frankly I believe once you hit about 21 you should own a simple black dress that can be dressed up or down according to accessories.

Wear it with black hose and black simple pumps and you are ALWAYS in fashion.

Same with black dress pants and a nice white dress blouse. You can wear this to almost anything and unless it is black tie look great.

[tunatartare]

This is where I disagree. I refuse to wear a black dress, have never owned one, and never intend to. There are ways of wearing a non-black dress to a formal event without looking like a Vegas showgirl or a $5 hooker.

[blueangel]

I agree Jadis. I attend a lot of formal affairs through work, and a black dress is an essential part of my wardrobe. Always classy, always tasteful. You can dress it up or down with jewelry and purses.

I wish, but she took a picture with a camera phone and it was definitely the slutty version.
