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.
http://www.catholic.org/international/international_story.php?id=19618
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."

Obviously, J Young model of a decent society is Afghanistan during the

Tell us J Young, when's the last time you had sex? Better: have you
ever had sex? Judging from your postings, you seem to have serious
issues... one of them being not getting any...
Ever thought of becoming a nicer person?

Hey, JYo, judging from the responses, everyone seems to buy into this
strange false dichotomy of either encourging young women to present
themselves er- 'immodestly' or forcing them to don burkas. Sad thing,
that. Do you remember that concept- what was it called? Where women are
to be treated equally and with respect? Oh yes, 'feminism'. That was a
good idea. Oh well.

And why should we have privileges of "our" own?

I'd like to take this opportunity to distance myself from BAM's
comments. Feminism has gone off the rails because after eliminating
everything 'feminine' we suddenly realized that all we had left was
'masculine'... leaving women to compete with men at... being men. That
wouldn't do, hence the current push to eliminate everything masculine.
What a confusing world we live in.

Aw, c'mon BAM, you know women haven't been treated with the respect
they deserve. It's just that now that both genders have been taken out
of the roles that God and nature designed them for them, things are a
tad... mixed up and confused, that's all.

Hey, Bonnie, aren't you gay?
Uhm, toots -- does your wife know you're on-line asking other men
about their sexuality?
You've got it easy, let me tell you.
Oh, yeah, because I get to:
-- put up with ***** from assholes like you
-- not marry the consenting, non-consanguine adult partner of mutual
choice (qualifiers thrown in for pedantic assholes alluded to above)
-- get told by assholes like you that I'm <insert untrue pejorative
here>
-- defend myself on a daily basis against untrue accusations made by
assholes like you
and so forth.
Yeah, it's real easy.
I guess it's just so fukkin' hard for snivelers like you to flaunt
your sexuality everywhere. <eye roll>
Try
growing up a straight guy in this messed up confused society.
Tissue, babe? (Also, you left out white. That's something else you can
whine about)
Thank God

Uh- that question was rather rhetorical. You've made your sexual

You're just mad because I'm right more often than not.
-- not marry the consenting, non-consanguine adult partner of mutual
choice (qualifiers thrown in for pedantic assholes alluded to above)
Why don't you and your consenting, non-consanguine adult partner of
mutual choice arrange for a common-law civil partnership shack-up union
of convinience and leave marriage for the straight folks?
-- get told by assholes like you that I'm
.... a kind, sensitive, thoughtful and very wise person? LOL! <snort!>
no, really, I mean it. <snort> <mmpgrhr>
-- defend myself on a daily basis against untrue accusations made by

Okay, okay, you've made your point. It ain't easy bein' gay.
and so forth.
Yeah, it's real easy.
I guess it's just so fukkin' hard for snivelers like you to flaunt

I'll try to arrange a straight pride parade, see how it pans out.

What makes you think I'm white? ... ... okay, never mind.

Well, it gives one perspective where otherwise there wouldn't be.

Uhm, toots -- does your wife know you're on-line asking other men

Uh- that question was rather rhetorical.
So your wife does not know that you are on-line soliciting other men
for details about their sexuality. Perhaps you might want to mention
that to her, just to be up front about things. Who knows? She might
turn out to be more GGG than you think.
You've made your sexual

No more so than you do here, and every day in your real life.
You've got it easy, let me tell you.
Oh, yeah, because I get to:

Right-handed, maybe.

Why don't you and your consenting, non-consanguine adult partner of
mutual choice arrange for a common-law civil partnership shack-up union
of convinience and leave marriage for the straight folks?
Because separate but equal doesn't work and has been tossed out on its
keyster.
Because marriage is a civil right.
Because same-sex marriage was around long before your church co-opted
marriage as a fund-raiser.
Because if you want special rights, you need to change the name of
what you do to "religious union."
Because you don't get to dictate how others run their personal lives.
Because my gay marriage won't affect your straight divorce.
Because my gay marriage affects your religious union in no way
whatsoever.
Because your demand that others spend thousands to claim the civil
right to which you imagine you're entitled for cheap is insane.
Because you're using the old "gays don't love -- they only *****"
canard.
Because you're not somehow more superior or more entitled simply
Because you stick your hoohah in some female *****'s peehole. (That's
for the absurd assessment of yours above).
Want more?
-- get told by assholes like you that I'm
... a kind, sensitive, thoughtful and very wise person? LOL! <snort!>
no, really, I mean it. <snort> <mmpgrhr>
Too bad you can't muster the same reaction when your cult and its
members say worse.
-- defend myself on a daily basis against untrue accusations made by
assholes like you
Okay, okay, you've made your point. It ain't easy bein' gay.
It's worse being your breeding *****, though.
and so forth.
Yeah, it's real easy.
I guess it's just so fukkin' hard for snivelers like you to flaunt
your sexuality everywhere. <eye roll>
I'll try to arrange a straight pride parade, see how it pans out.
What's to arrange? You have them frequently on days which end in Y.
Try
growing up a straight guy in this messed up confused society.
Tissue, babe? (Also, you left out white. That's something else you can
whine about)
What makes you think I'm white? ... ... okay, never mind.
Well, the fact that you're whining about being a poor beleaguered
heterosexual christstain was the first clue.
Thank God
I'm Catholic. Sheesh.
That's nothing to brag about, sweetie.
Well, it gives one perspective where otherwise there wouldn't be.
Despite your limited and intellectually stunted opinion, there are
other perspectives, and some are even more valid than yours. And more
logical. And more humane. And more compassionate. And more inclusive.
And more correct.
So much for your being "right" <snort? more often than your
contracting sickle cell anemia or Tay Sachs. <eye roll>
And Hughie, babe -- since being Catholic leaves you as bereft of
compassion and humanity as you present yourself here, it ain't that
great.

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.
Interesting how the Catholic Church has "changed its tune" (again!):

Note the past directives from the Catholic "Magisterium"!

Well, they have to pick up the slacks of those little kids that they feed to
the pedophile priests. It's only tidy after all.

Sure. If they seek to hook up with a NOTHING like you!
Most modern-day girls are a LOT more fun-loving than
their stick-in-the-mud predecessors.

There's nothing wrong with feminism. I *admire* people of
both sexes who think for themselves AND have socially-liberal
attitudes. Just as I have nothing but *contempt* for all
people who are busybodyish and control-freakish with respect
to the PERSONAL and PRIVATE affairs and behavior of other
people, when such behavior does no overt harm to others.
