The end is near


iconThe AP reports that some girls are complaining about the current fashions which leave little to the imagination.

During a recent shopping trip to Nordstrom, 11-year-old Ella Gunderson became frustrated with all the low-cut hip-huggers and skintight tops.

So she wrote to the Seattle-based chain's executives.

"I see all of these girls who walk around with pants that show their belly button and underwear," she wrote. "Your clearks (sic) sugjest (sic) that there is only one look. If that is true, then girls are suppost (sic) to walk around half naked."

Nordstrom executives wrote back and promised Ella the company would try to provide a variety of fashions for youngsters.

The shy, bespectacled redhead has since become an instant media darling, appearing on national television over the past two weeks to promote modest fashions instead of the saucy looks popularized by the likes of Britney Spears.

I took a quick poll of the staff writers, and came back with the unanimous conclusion that Ella needs to spend more time on her spelling lesson and less time bugging retail executives over trivial subjects like women's fashion. If women want to wear low cut, revealing clothing Ella has no business telling them to do otherwise. We think that cute women walking around in scantily clad clothing can only make the world a better place. If Ella doesn't want to participate, that's her choice.

[Male chauvinist pig alert] However, if she ever wants to attract boys, she'd better either learn how to cook, or start putting out. The whiny feminist attitude surely isn't going to cut it.

I certainly agree with you about the spelling aspect, however her point was that she wanted the ability to opt out of the scantilly clad fashions, not that everybody should. As the father of a daughter (granted she's only 2 months old) I would be very happy if, at 11 years, she didn't want to dress like Ms Spears.
