Victoria Secret's Models are Hot

In the local town, they just opened a new outdoor mall where there's a Victoria Secret's superstore. The picture here has caused lots of controversy, and it's been in the newspaper. Part of me really wants to be conflicted about this, and keep in my mind I do have a daughter, but you know what? All I am is pissed off about the whole damn thing. Even though controversy keeps the world rolling (remember OJ?), it gets boring. I could care less about this image, and I remember people freaked when some local church had a billboard of two people in bed together with their naked legs and feet sticking out. Of course it was a man and woman (God forbid, they be man and man or woman and woman), so who the hell cares?

I sure don't. I walked by this store today with a friend and clicked off this picture. You know what? The girls look good. Awesome. Something fun to look at while I am walking around. Sure, I got a daughter. Yes, some day she may choose to dress like these models. But you know what it really comes down to? It comes down to morals and upbringing. I am going to bringing my daughter up as someone who respects herself. And I am going to educate my daughter. And then I am going to let her make her own mature, adult decisions.

When I got home, I read an editorial lambasting Victoria Secrets and demanding the huge signs be removed. When I got to the bottom I was surprised the writer was someone I know. He is a Mormon man with male children. Why can't he just enjoy the image and teach his boys about the beauty of the God-given female body? Perhaps he thinks they will be tempted, not go on their missions, and embarrass him at the temple (I think that's the word for it.). Go sit in your temple, read your LDS (supposed) script, and leave me with my camera and billboards.
