What a shock I got to see Gigi Yim, a
young Cantonese pop singer, appear in a low-cut strapless dress at a music
awards ceremony! What was the intention of her fashion stylists? Did they see
the damage to her image as a teenage idol?
On the contrary, I stumbled upon a
travel program on TV the other night and was attracted by the natural and
easygoing way the young hostess presented and showcased the tour sights to the
viewers. I found her simple teenage outfit particularly pleasant looking.
Understandably, teenagers see dressing
as a form of self-expression. It is pathetic, however, that probably due to
media influence, many young girls wear heavy makeup and dress themselves in
revealing clothes to enhance their physical and sexual attractiveness. How I
wish they could be convinced that nothing beats their natural youthful
appearance and that they look best in classy and decent attire!
I may be criticized for being an old
fuddy-duddy. But I just cannot bear to see young innocent girls in flirty
dresses. It is hoped that parents and teachers will attach greater importance
to educating young teenage girls on the need for self-respect and self-care in
the area of how they present themselves instead of blindly following fashion
trends.
