Yolie,

It disgusts you to see a little girl in a bikini??? Isn’t that a little harsh? She’s just a little girl.

You know, I loved how she was with her girls on her show, and this just adds to it.

She and her ex husband are doing great raising the girls with good values and common sense, and also making sure that they are dressed appropriately so they can do everything kids do.

I also do not allow my daughter’s midriff to show (except for accidental glimpses if I’m picking her up and her shirt rides up, of course), as I just don’t think it’s necessary.

Spaghetti strap tops and halters that provide ample coverage of the upper bits and can stay up like they should are hard for me to allow, but I do because they are covering her properly and don’t look like grownup stuff.

I think there is plenty of time to show the midriff when girls are grown up.

Why are parents letting their daughters wear thigh high boots to school? (or anywhere for that matter)…. I actually have a pair of thigh high boots that my ex bought for me to wear in the BEDROOM. I’ve never worn them outside….

Not sure what the bikini thing is about though. I let my daughter wear bikini’s. Maybe it’s because I lived in Florida when I was 12-20 years old. It’s just the norm there. I think it’s different when you’re at the beach or pool. I never even gave it a second thought when I bought them either. I just went, “Oh cute”. It’s a polka dot pink bikini witha ruffled skirt bottom. I never thought other people would find it inappropriate.

I have noticed that the girls are generally dressed appropriately for their age.

I won’t let my daughter wear a bikini. A tankini is fine because you really don’t see anything. She isn’t allowed short shorts or anything alone those lines either. She will NEVER wear any words across her butt either.

I agree with previous comments – it’s nice to see parents take a stand in this area, whether they are celebrities or not. But it IS nice to hear a celeb being vocal about. Kids should dress like kids, period. I’m glad to see lots of others with the same viewpoint.

Well I guess I am the only one who lets my 4 year old wear a polkadot bikini. That’s what I wore when I was a little girl. I never looked at it as too “adult” like. It’s just a fun bathing suit. I think the most important gift I can give my daughter is to continue to be respectful of others and to continue to respect myself. Not only remind her how beautiful she is but how smart she is too. I do think we live in a very procative world but come on… a bikini? The memories I have running on the beach with my sister and girlfriends and our bikinis. Life was good. Innocent. Sweet.

Yay for Kimora. She used to annoy me to no end, but after this I have a new found respect for her. I am not a mom (yet), but I have no problem voicing the opinion that children should be dressed like children, and not like adults (this goes for teens too, at least in the 13-16 range). No 10 year old should be allowed out of the house with the words “flirt” or “sexy” on her shirt. The worst part, in my eyes, is the parents’ excuse – “it’s just for fun” and “no one takes it seriously”. Yeah, right.

I know there are only 11 posts, but everyone here and everyone I know feels exactly the same way — little girls should dress like kids! Honestly, the clothes you see out there for little girls actually look like — and I do not mean to be inflammatory at all — but like they are meant for adult women who are trying to be seductive. So, if so many of us feel this way, why is it so hard to find little girls’ clothes that are not trashy? Even at high-end stores the clothes are what I consider to be inappropriate. They must sell or why would there be so many of them out there? But who is buying them? No one I know. . .

Now if we could have clothes at the mall designed by people who would like children to dress like children I would appreciate it even more. Oh well, there’s always lands end & ll bean.
