It is something girls need to realize! It is so much nicer.Hanley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363108115499781703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-78818684625467400372007-07-27T08:00:00.000-04:002007-07-27T08:00:00.000-04:00It's great to see modesty back in the news, and th...It's great to see modesty back in the news, and the interview I did with <I>Focus on the Family</I> (that Letitia quotes above) earned me a place as a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: <BR/><BR/><B>http://www.rightwingwatch.org/2007/07/from_shoulders.html</B><BR/><BR/>What an honor!!! :-)<BR/><BR/>I've been interviewed these past two weeks by news outlets from all over the world, but what concerns me is that manufacturers are starting to see a 'market for modest clothing' and are producing and selling clothing that they label as 'modest' that aren't decent...even being labeled "hot and modest". I Blogged about it here:<BR/><BR/><B>http://colleenhammond.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-girls-go-mild-in-modesty.html</B><BR/><BR/>Like Letitia said, shop a bit and select a few outfits before you show your daughters. That's one of the reasons I did my other Blog--to show fashions from the runways of Paris that fit the Vatican Guidelines:<BR/><BR/><B>http://dressingwithdignity.blogspot.com/</B><BR/><BR/>Keep in mind, too, that a woman's <I>real</I> power is in her virtue--obtained and sustained through the grace of God. When we raise our children to be pure, humble, and charitable, the rest of society benefits as well.<BR/><BR/>GOD BLESS!!!Colleen Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217013052965686559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-9556268214785280232007-07-26T21:09:00.000-04:002007-07-26T21:09:00.000-04:00That is a great message for girls today.

Girls need to know that being a strong and beautiful woman starts on the inside and you don't have to wear clothes too tight, too short, and too revealing to get attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-20018723685648124462007-07-26T20:14:00.000-04:002007-07-26T20:14:00.000-04:00I once saw the History of Barbie on A&E Network, a...I once saw the History of Barbie on A&E Network, and she WAS based upon a German prostitute doll in the 1950's.

A change in modesty would make such a difference in today's society. <BR/><BR/>I highly recommend Colleen's book! I reviewed it a few years ago and learned so much about modesty and fashion from it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the info on both books.Jean Heimannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337901330501175087noreply@blogger.com
