I met up with the Tall and gorgeous Ladies putting on the Sarahi Fashion show at Funkshion on Saturday, October 23rd. I set up 3 550ex units on TT5 transcievers. I took a few shots of the Kids show, some backstage candids of the Sarahi models, then stuck around for the Islands Of The world show. My lights were competing with the big tungsten runway lights, and the 5D seems to set the same shutter speed at different ISOs for some inexplicable reason. I still got quite a few real gems. Here I have simply uploded everything wherre the model, the couture, or both, look decent or better.

Question by i love everyone :]: Are other parents as strict about this?
I’m thirteen years old, a teenager, and my mom has problems with my undergarments. Seriously.
I turn fourteen in a few months, and I’m only allowed to buy my underwear from Gap. I’m not even allowed to choose them, she has to choose them for me. Once, I asked my mother for a thong, because I’m an actress and dancer and we aren’t allowed to have underwear showing during shows or rehearsals while we’re in leotards, and my mother first laughed, then asked me if I wanted to be a slut, then said no and took me straight home, after buying a few pairs of granny panties, of course.
I’m going into 8th grade, and I’ve wanted a bra and a pair of sweatpants from Victoria’s Secret since 3rd grade, but my mom’s always said no. She says she doesn’t want me looking like a “huge slut.” I don’t even own more than 2 v neck shirts, and nobody would even see the bra, and the sweatpants are just for sleeping.
My mother personally wears VS clothing and lingerie, so I know she doesn’t have a problem with it.
She’s seen fourth graders at my brother’s elementary school wear VS shirts or sweats, and even my friend, who isn’t allowed to have an AIM account is allowed to wear their things and choose her own underwear!
Parents out there, are you like this with your daughters?

I’m almost 33 and my mother has been known to buy me granny panties as an adult. I guess *she* wants me to wear them. I have no idea why.
In my opinion, that is what thongs are for… no panty lines.
Then again, ask me again when my dauther is 13. My answer may very well be different, lol.

I would let my daughter at least pick out her own underwear. I don’t think its really that big of a deal. Maybe she scared you’ll feel to sexy adn want to show them off???….. I hope she lightens up on you soon, or she might be dealing with some MAJOR rebellion…..
i think your mother just worried as they kinda pants are meant to be sexy mostly for guy and in your mum eyes your no where near that and the though of her baby being here that stage freaks her out have u tyred showing her info on the net on wee sets that are still pants but would hid better under your stuff explain your have panty lines showing at dancing class and it really imprisoning but don’t ask for thongs even i was say no
no my mom’s not like that. well I don’t think she would let me wear a thong but I don’t want to wear on so that wouldn’t matter to me. I’m not allowed to wear push up bras though. But that’s about it. I think your mom is being a little over the top, but she’s your mom. My parents are really strict with me, but I don’t mind so much cause I love them. And whenever I get mad about not being allowed to listen to certain music or not being allowed to wear certain things, I just remember that I love them and that they’re only doing what they think is best for me, and I also remember that it is only until I’m 18. Plus I don’t really care much about my underwear cause the only people who see it is me. Maybe just pray that your mom will change her mind.
I can see a thong for ballet and acting but I would not let my 14 yr old wear them for any other purpose. Whether you think so or not a man/boy views them as sexy and the pants are so low rise now days that people’s underwear are always showing. But I would let my child pick her own style other than thong.
As far as VS goes my child could buy that with her own money. Their clothes are expensive and I don’t think a parent needs to buy a child VS brand.
my parents don’t care. not meaning they would let me wear anything but in reason…
I’m a dancer and i need to wear ‘skimpy’ pants and bras like you said. My mum understands and she lets me choose what i want. Also i wear sweatpants all the time to lounge in, it’s not like they are skimpy or anything, are they???
I think you should have a chat with your mum, and explain your thoughts. One day she’ll have to let you grow up and choose your own underwear!

I am still trying to figure out who would voluntarily want to wear a thong. Plus there are no show panties-that are not thongs. My daughter does not need thongs, I am sure she probably would not want to wear them anyhow. The granny panties, ok I understand that, they do make perfectly fine bikini’s or boy cuts…..No need for victoria’s secret in my opinion either. As for the V neck shirts, provided they did not show TOO much cleavage I would not mind that. So I mostly agree with your mom, there is nothing worse than seeing a teeny bopper trying to play “big girl” while her thong is hanging out of the back of her jeans that are too tight and too low cut.
If shes buying it you’re just going to have to live with it. VS is kinda pricey and I wouldn’t buy it for that reason for a 13 year old.
First off, if wearing a thong or clothing from VS makes someone a slut…. I didn’t get the memo!
I have certain clothing that I prefer to wear a thong with. I also have certain clothing (and times of the month) that I prefer to wear Granny panties.
I think you should speak with your dance instructor and maybe she can explain to your Mom why a thong would be better during performances.
As a last resort….tell your mo that you will be forced to go commando if you can’t wear a thong!
As a parent of two younger girls I can say that I will not want my daughters wearing thongs when they are your age. I also agree with your mom that Victoria’s Secret clothing is not acceptable for outerwear, but I don’t understand the hangup on the PJ’s if that’s really what you are going to wear the sweats for or some underwear or bras. I think what your mom wants you to realize is that once you gain a particular image it is very hard to live down, so if you were to wear a thong and it happened to show out of your pants, whether you meant for it to or not, you could get a negative image.
As for you, I would be embarrassed to death if my mother wore VS clothing, but that’s just me. I don’t want to think of my mom as any kind of sex symbol or anything like that, so as I am now a mother I do not wear things like that. I would hope that you and your mother would be able to talk openly about these things. She shouldn’t just say no and not give an explanation as to why and you need to be open to her feelings as she should be to yours. Just remember, your mom is trying to protect her little girl and she loves you!!
