When it comes to appropriate vs. inappropriate clothing I could go on for hours.  I understand styles change but where do we draw the line?  I do believe the skirt was to short, especially since when she was on the today show and she sat down the world got to see her panties.  That was unacceptable.  But I also can't stand walking down the street or in a mall or the grocery store and see guys walking around with their pants below there butts and their boxers hanging out.  That is just as unacceptable to me.  But look around and our childeren are just trying to be like their "ICONS".  And we all know that the stars will do whatever it takes to get their picture taken...which usually means wearing next to nothing. 

I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era because I love the elegant looks of the past, when women wore beautiful clothing that covered their bodies.  And men took pride in in dressing neatly.  There is something to be said about keeping certain things covered.  There is a time and a place to show your unmentionables and that it in your own home with your own spouse.
