    @Charlotte Rae's Web: Here's some further reading on that subject: [www.bostonphoenix.com]

    "The dirty little secret of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys ... is that they’re all about sex. Sure, it’s often sublimated sex aimed at an audience between the ages of nine and 15 — but they are, indeed, smoldering with unmistakable eroticism. That is why — surprise! — they are so popular."

    @Mr. B.: That was an interesting and entertaining read, but I think the author's really reaching to prove their own point, when they call "hidden compartment" passage "unmistakable eroticism".

    Still a good read and definitely worth a few minutes, but one also has to consider that though his point might have some kind of (fantasy?) relationship with the originals, they still make Nancy Drews today.

    (Though my daughter prefers the old ones because a lot of the new books are crap... hmmm?)

    Little girls have known how to work the sexuality angle since Cain's little sister first wanted attention from Adam.

    @Trai_Dep: No, Cain was Adam's second son (and Seth was his third), and so Cain's sister would have been Adam's daughter. And it's called the Electra complex - Jesus, how do I know all this stuff? I terrify myself.

    Just because they make something, doesn't mean you have to buy it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Don't get all pissed off because it exists. Slutty kid costumes are a good resource for little people that need slutty costumes.

    I find only a few of the costumes pictured distasteful. Teenagers can dress slutty because, well, teenagers sometimes are slutty.

    I'm mostly just confused about what this costume actually is: [blogue.us]

    How horrible is that I'm not even phased by these costumes. I see little girls dressed in minis and pleather boots at my kid's elementary school all the time. I'm pretty sure I've seen fishnets too.

    We actually saw those costumes on sale at Party City, and I'm pleased to say my 9-year-old walked right by them and picked a Cleopatra costume instead without my intervention at all.

    I don't know if it's the costumes that have gotten worse or the public's interpretation and sexualization of them. Back when I was a little 5 year-old kid wearing a bikini or a shirt that showed your belly-button was not perceived as anything sexual or grow-up. It was just what little kids did.

    Now, I read articles talking about the "controversy" of little girls in bikinis. Seriously? I thought one of the advantages of being a kid was being able to dress however you wanted without some double meaning being attached to it.

    I'd be fine with it if they weren't prepubescent.

    But then they'd have a sense of dignity... maybe.
