New modesty - Catholic program fights back against fashion industry |
Modesty, virtue, decency, and self-respect should be central in every young
girl's life. Once again, the Catholic church picks-up the slack where
parental guidance leaves off.

TORONTO, Canada (The Catholic Register) - These days Emily Morrow-Fick keeps
busy organizing runway lessons, wardrobe fittings and easing last-minute
stage fright as she prepares 55 young girls to take center stage at a Pure
Fashion show here.
"It's not just about fashion, a lot of it is teaching girls how to present
themselves without feeling like they have to act like Britney Spears or
Paris Hilton," said Morrow-Fick, 18, a student at St. Mary's College and the
co-chair for Pure Fashion in Calgary.
Pure Fashion is a Catholic program that promotes modest dress for girls in
grades 8 through 12.
Young women attend training sessions to learn about the virtues of modesty,
purity and chastity, as well as the ins and outs of hair, make-up and
posture. This all leads up to a fashion show where the girls model all that
they've learned on the catwalk.
"Trendy but tasteful" is the catch phrase national chairwoman Brenda Sharman
uses to describe the philosophy behind Pure Fashion.
"Pure Fashion has grown into a whole person developmental program. Modesty
is more than what you wear on the outside, it has to be an exterior
reflection of an interior attitude," Sharman, who brings 20 years experience
in modeling and acting to Pure Fashion, told The Catholic Register in a
telephone interview from Atlanta, Ga.
"Their intention should be to turn as many hearts as possible, not heads."
Pure Fashion lists specific clothing guidelines girls are to abide by during
the fashion show and potentially retain once it's over. Material must not be
thin nor sheer, necklines should not be four fingers bellow the collar bones
and skirts and dresses should be no shorter than four fingers above the top
of the kneecaps are three examples.
"Girls are very hesitant to accept the idea of being modest in a society
that tells them to wear short shirts, heavy eye make-up and act ditzy. They
are hesitant to be more confident unless they are wearing these clothes,"
said Morrow-Fick.
Not all girls buy into the Pure Fashion message, but the program is meant to
plant a seed for the future, added Morrow-Fick.
Sharman agrees living out the principles of Pure Fashion is not easy. "It's
a countercultural message because right now all the things you read are
about how to be hot and sexy."

Sit down.
BAM
Why? Are you going to surprise everyone and say something intelligent
and compassionate for once?
You have no answers Mark.
I have plenty of answers. You just don't like them. Unlike you, I am
not blinded by lies and religious brainwashing.
You don't even know why you exist.
BAM
I exist because my parents had sex on their honeymoon. (which should
come as no surprise to anyone.)
And apparently, you showed that I was right about you again. You don't
have anything intelligent or compassionate to say. Just your usual
bile and evasive commands that other can ignore with impunity.

Thank God for feminism.
There's nothing wrong with feminism.
There *is* something wrong with feminism; we are hyper sensitive to
issues of sexual equality, yet popular culture portrays women as
nothing more than sexual objects that exist for the pleasure of men. No
wonder guys are confused.

It's no longer PERSONAL and PRIVATE when it's on virtually all forms of
media 24/7, in my face and in my space; I therefore reserve the right
to make commentary.

All the guy needs to do, case-by-case, is see whether or not
she enjoys he sexuality, or is focussed more on other aspects of
her life. And respond accordingly. No biggie. Every person is
unique. And they ALL deserve EQUAL rights.

Did I ever say you didn't have the right? Just as I have the right
to publicly disagree with much of what you've said. You're making
much ado about nothing.

you continue to demonstrate your ignorance of usenet newsgroups,
scumball, and your disrespect for readers' ability to decide for
themselves what is and is not appropriate.
do you feel like a hypocrite criticizing others for doing what you
do? even osprey has legitimately commented on your hypocrisy.

I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for
whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the
State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public
welfare - I have no use for him either.
