I know what I'm going to do. I will not spend a penny on these types of products. I will urge others to do same. If nobody is buying them, there will be no need to continue to make such degrading clothing. I am not pro-censorship, but I am for mutual respect of others - treating others how we wish to be treated. If we say bad things about them, they will most likely do same in return. This isn't type of behavior that I want to see my young daughter engaging in as she gets older. When she is an adult, she can make her own decisions. This clothing is being marketed to our 'tweens & teens!

My daughter only going on five years old right now. But if this trend continues, I hate to think about what girls' clothing might be saying in another five or ten years. As a parent, I feel it is our job to teach our girls good values and morals. How can it help a young impressionable girl's self-esteem to be putting down others in such a rude way? Imagine harm that it can do to self-image of today's youth. I hope that whoever started it will see error in their ways, and moms at malls and department stores with their daughters will openly show their disapproval.

It's quite possible that I needed this night just as much as she did. Lately, I've felt every bit as old as each new gray hair that emerges on my head. My energy is zapped, and I can't seem to remember how to have fun. But I had fun that night! My daughter's happiness and excitement overflowed right onto me, and her youthfulness found it's way into my soul. She helped me find my way back to part of me that had been trapped inside for so long.

Of course, I have to give credit to boys of 'NSync, also. Their energy and excitement, their humor, lively music and neat dance routines... I enjoyed show itself almost as much as I enjoyed my daughter's delight in it!

We were both lost that night, but it was perfectly alright, because we were lost together. And together, we found our way back to reality when lights went out and crowds went home.

Together, I hope to take many more trips to that magical place that we shared that evening. As parents, not only do we need to be responsible adults, but it is also important to hang on to our youthfulness, and enjoy it with our children while they are still young.
