little girls should just wear shawls. india got it right.

Jess said, (190 days ago)

Yah, it's pretty weird when they say ten year olds have a need for thongs.

Coin-Operated Boy said, (190 days ago)

A&F are shit anyway. I'm so glad we don't get them here in NZ

IceOwl said, (190 days ago)

Is this shit designed by pedophiles? Holy fuck that's creepy.

Coin-Operated Boy said, (190 days ago)

Kinda reminds me of that Adam & Andrew song 'Sluttier Younger'

Because you gotta think about it, a lot of young girls would actually buy this kind of shit, wear it with fuck all else on, and take a billion photos of themselves and put them up on MySpaz

Coin-Operated Boy said, (190 days ago)

Why is this all in bold... I BROKE TEH INTERWEBS -_-

oooh i think... maybe... i have an idea... is it better now?

Anyway, back to topic, Macauley Culkin in Igby Goes Down was kinda strange to watch him in a sexual role... I just keep thinking of him in like... My Girl and Richie Rich and Home Alone. The sweet innocent, but not too innocent kid.

I think I have a thing for him, actually...

Summer said, (190 days ago)

@Rabbit, There reasoning is a 10 year old will start to care about underwear lines. Hell I don't even give a shit about an underwear lines.

@Danny, yeah mad creepy, like in the movie thirteen when there little junior thongs were showing.

Also McCaully is kinda weird looking. Like he still looks like that little kid in a way. But I've loved him as an actor in Saved, Party Monster, and he was good in Sex and Breakfast too. He was pretty much the only one who wasn't acting badly in that movie. I saw Igby Goes Down years ago, but I dont remember him being in it?

Jess said, (189 days ago)

I think McCaully's brother is in Igby goes down, not him.

Xenu said, (189 days ago)

It was his brother in Igby, but I've totally wanted to do it to Macaulay since Saved.

Xenu said, (189 days ago)

Anyway, in reference to the article, sexualization of little girls is a very sad thing. I think that the writing on said thongs ("eye candy" and "wink wink") is even more disturbing than the fact that they are thongs.

Xenu said, (189 days ago)

So is this Abercrombie's attempt to prove that they can be as controversial as American Apparel?

Centropomus said, (189 days ago)

@DP: 10-year-old boys still have cooties. It's the myspace predators they're trying to look hot for.

strangerdangerbox said, (189 days ago)

@centro: not funny

Centropomus said, (189 days ago)

As consistent as that comment is with my internet creepiness, I meant it with some seriousness. The children who fall victim to the myspace predators tend to be ones who are trying on adult things, and seeking adult attention, as equals. The 10-year-old girls who want to wear thongs are the ones at the greatest risk of being targeted by a sexual predator.

Summer said, (189 days ago)

@Danny, will to be fair I love trashy bad movies. I mean John Waters is an idle of mine. Of Course so are 'respectable' filmmakers like Pedro Almodovar, Tim Burton, and Scorcese. But I loved Party Monster. It was done in a very camp fashion, so bad 'over-acting' was expected. And like you said, you couldn't turn away. John Water's once described his films like a car wreck, you want to look away but you cant. I imagine this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but party monster had a dark wit about it as well.


Summer said, (189 days ago)

@Xenu, yeah the perverted messages on the thongs are the creepiest part. I mean it's one thing to try on mommy's lingerie but it's another to self identify your vagina as 'eye candy' at the age of ten.

0get2dachoppa0 said, (189 days ago)

where did you see this????

ugh, this world deserves to burn

0get2dachoppa0 said, (189 days ago)

if anything, we need to teach them to NOT try to be "sexy".

i'm sick of "sexy"

"sexy" usually comes packaged with "lame"

Summer said, (189 days ago)

@KMFCM I don't think sexy is usually packaged with lame.I'm all about the sexy. I just don't think it should be packaged and sold to little girls in a whorey way. I mean sexy doesn't mean thong underwear. It's an attitude. One that 10 year olds shouldn't be thinking about.

As to how I discovered it: My roommates and I were having dinner last night and drinking margaritas:) When we got on the topic of sexuality sold to young kids. My one roommate said she saw thongs for children in a store in New York. The rest of us didn't believe her, so I looked it up online.

hey jude said, (189 days ago)

I agree with KMFCM. Most things labelled specifically as "sexy" end up being pretty lame.

Coin-Operated Boy said, (189 days ago)

Yeah, my bad it was Kieran Culkin, still Culkin boys are hard to watch whikst fucking.

And yeah, I'm with Johnny and KMFCM, when something tries to be sexy, it usually .

Sexy's like shit, it just happens

Summer said, (189 days ago)

Well I think typically sexy things can be sexy. Like lingerie or showing some cleavage. But trying too hard is never sexy, because confidence is the essence of sexy. And trying to hard means you are actually insecure.

Coin-Operated Boy said, (189 days ago)

Oh hell yeah, there are some things that are pretty much fail proof sexy. Like toe cleavage while heels. One is frigid, three i slutty, but two is sexy.

hey jude said, (189 days ago)

@Sum- I'm oblivious to both lingerie and cleavage. Call me crazy, but it's just not enough to do anything for me.

soulcamp said, (189 days ago)

I was wondering tonight if there would be any company out there batshit crazy enough to hire OJ Simpson as a spokesman. At the time, I couldn't come up with any, but I believe A&F has lowered the bar.

Summer said, (189 days ago)

@Johnny, tell me your idea of sexy.

hey jude said, (189 days ago)

*shrug*

0get2dachoppa0 said, (188 days ago)

Sum - I think if girls spent as much energy on just being decent interesting people as they did on being "sexy", I might not dislike them so much.

Granted, guys are the ones who let a girl do any god damn thing she wants if she shows them cleavage, so that's our fault.

IceOwl said, (188 days ago)

There are equally aplenty boring, stupid guys. A great deal of them are barstars.

hey jude said, (188 days ago)

spot on, K-mofo

Summer said, (188 days ago)

@KMFCM and Johnny, Well some people find intelligence and or the ability to hold a decent conversation very sexy. These can be classified as sexy qualities as well. Strong, smart women, are sexy to many men.
Sexy doesn't have to be all cleavage and such. Although, I find both things sexy. I mean just because a girl shows some cleav doesn't mean she is uninteresting or stupid.

KMFCM, I think it's unfortunate that you choose to dislike all women and judge them on what they choose to wear.

Summer said, (188 days ago)

@IceOwl so true! Why all this hating on women?

hey jude said, (188 days ago)

I think I'll end my conversation here.

IceOwl said, (188 days ago)

@Summer: I dunno, but KMFCM shows his misogynist colours every time the topic of women comes up.

0get2dachoppa0 said, (188 days ago)

okay.. .since everyone missed this part
I'll say it again
"Granted, guys are the ones who let a girl do any god damn thing she wants if she shows them cleavage, so that's our fault."

0get2dachoppa0 said, (188 days ago)

how's that Deftones song go? "it's so easy to talk about everything I do wrong. . . . "

Summer said, (188 days ago)

No I saw that part, I also saw the part where you said you disliked all women and said they should care about more than their looks. I was trying to say most women do care about more than that, and that you judge all women in a negative light is sad.

0get2dachoppa0 said, (187 days ago)

Sum - I'm sure you did.

There's really no point in denying such things, is there?

I work at a place where I'm proven correct once an HOUR.

Summer said, (187 days ago)

No point in denying what things?

hey jude said, (187 days ago)

Eh, I'd just like to point out that K-mofo never said he "disliked all women and said they should care about more than their looks". The words "all women" never came up.

He said, specifically, that they should spend an equal amount of energy on their looks and their personas. Which to me, seems pretty fair.

Summer said, (187 days ago)

He said this

Sum - I think if girls spent as much energy on just being decent interesting people as they did on being "sexy", I might not dislike them so much.

To me this means all girls. Since he said he dislikes 'girls' because of this.

Also the assumption that all women spend more time on their looks than their personality is insulting to me as a woman.

We don't all care about being pretty above all else.

hey jude said, (187 days ago)

*shrug*

I think both parties are have valid points, but are overexaggerating. I'm not all that interested in the outcome, to be honest... I know what I think and that's all I can speak for.

0get2dachoppa0 said, (187 days ago)

do you work in a corporate environment

you know

with yuppie scum?

Summer said, (187 days ago)

Do I work in a corporate environment? I work on TV shows. It's very jeans and t shirt, and tattoos. Why?

Why do you keep bringing up work?

0get2dachoppa0 said, (186 days ago)

because work has made my misogyny 70 times worse

Summer said, (186 days ago)

So now you admit to it eh?

What do you do?

0get2dachoppa0 said, (185 days ago)

when did I deny it exactly???
Johnny was the one that said "he didn't say all women". . .not me.

I work in the mail center at an insurance company.

hey jude said, (185 days ago)

wtf, I was defending your honor! don't go calling me out now!

Summer said, (185 days ago)

That sounds like a not fun job. So you got a crappy job and you are full of anger against women?

I hope you have some fun stuff going on in your life. Even though I find your misogyny to be really offensive.
