Ky. Woman With ‘Too Short’ Dress For Mall Hires Lawyer
College Student Asked To Leave Mall
RICHMOND, Ky. — A 20-year-old Kentucky college student who was kicked out of a shopping mall because her dress was too short has hired an attorney.
Kymberly Clem, 20, attends Eastern Kentucky University and said the incident happened on Sunday when a security guard approached her at Richmond Mall and asked her to leave because of complaints about the shortness of the dress.
“I felt humiliated because not only did he embarrass me by making a scene, but he actually followed me out of the mall as if I stole something,” she told the Richmond Register. “It’s hard for me to understand how I could be disrespected so much.”
Ironically, Clem had bought the dress the day before at the very mall she was kicked out of.
The mall manager was not available for comment Monday.
Clem said her lawyer was looking into legal options.

When I read articles like this I just thank my lucky stars that I’m in this part of the world and don’t have to deal with any of this craziness.
As you can see from the lovely photo of Rita above. When the weather is warm Russian girls LOVE to wear short dresses and take every opportunity they can to enjoy the limited sunshine they get during the year.
In fact it makes me want to deliver the following message to the American Ladies back in the US.
Attention American Women.
Quit being jealous of other women who eat less and stay in shape and have the ability to proudly show off their beauty, health and natural feminine confidence in themselves.
I know you may have a hard time believing this but this style of summer dress is completely the NORM here. And yes it’s SEXY and these girls have absolutely no reason to be ashamed of their beautiful bodies whatsoever.
But if you are ashamed then please do something about it and don’t take it out on them.
Now I can only imagine what it would be like to walk around an American Shopping Mall with one of these lovely ladies in tow.
Do any of you Gentlemen or Ladies have an interesting story to tell in relation to this?
Russian Women - The Real Truth 
August 27, 2008 at 6:32 am
I have a story…
I own a pair of jeans which are tighter than the normal jeans I wear. My boyfriend loves them and twice I have been approached by strange men in public to ‘ask what brand they are’ and then to tell me that they like them (in a nice way not a creepy way).
HOWEVER, when I went home to my family, my mother strongly objected to my wearing these jeans even just around the house. She said, “It’s like you’re naked… you can see the whole outline of your body… It’s like you’re saying, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me!'”
My mother felt my jeans were immodest and that I was showing off my assets in a way calculated to attract attention. Where I come from, modesty and humility are very strong values and one of the worst things you can do is brag about what you have.
I still wear those jeans but not at home any more…
August 27, 2008 at 7:00 am
What city was the photo taken in? It looks beautiful… and so does Rita! 🙂
August 27, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Good observations, and message. One slight change, though: that would never have happened in California or Florida, for example.
And Dawn, there is nothing remotely wrong with showing off your assets. Deliberately drawing attention and complaining about it is wrong (and stupid, and weirdly common), but brightening the lives of those around you by simple beauty is no sin.
August 27, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I think that Russian women have mastered the art of being beautiful and classy, and a side-effect of that is that they also become hot and sexy. And I don’t think that the length of a dress is actually relevant, in and of itself. After all, Kerri Walsh, the Olympic Gold Medalist, played beach volleyball in a bikini without presenting herself in a negative way.
When I look at Rita, I see a beautiful and athletic young woman, with gorgeous legs, whose body language and facial expression create a demure pose. And notice that the top of her dress is quite modest.
In contrast, many Western women wear, for lack of a better term, “slut costumes.” The design of their clothes, and their makeup, facial expressions and body language coalesce into a repulsive combination of stupid but vain, available but arrogant, and cheap instead of sexy.
And I think that the complaints at the Richmond Mall probably came from the middle-aged feminists, with clothes that are always too short to hide the undulating waves of fat on their droopy and saggy bodies, who infest most public venues and endanger the eyesight and sanity of real men and women.
But, to end on a high note, GL, please post many, many more pictures of Rita, Masha, and their other friends. Please don’t forget that most of us rarely see the inner and outer beauty that now surrounds you every day.
August 27, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Everything in the picture is beautiful, GL. Thanks for another great shot. I’m curious. Did Rita prepare for this photo specifically, or is that her normal attire and appearance? I might add that she’s beautifully matched, and the colors complement her perfectly.
August 27, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Interesting post, GL.
In regarding to the article’s ridiculous brouhaha in Kentucky, I am not at all surprised. One will come across some very obedience and strict, law-abiding people in some part of the Bible thumper (no offense) states like Kentucky. Some of these people will tend to be very judgmental and narrow-minded with a somewhat righteous attitude – perhaps spewing morals? – of what is right and what is wrong in how a lady’s dress is perceived in their own culture.
Who had the authority to kick her out of the mall? Was there a so-called mall policy of “thou shalt not wear short dress”? Doesn’t it feel like her freedom and rights as an individual were nonexistence? We will never know what was the complainant’s state of mind was in. Of course, some of the close-minded Kentuckians think and act differently by believing her short dress made them uncomfortable. Would it be because the differences were seen as a threat or insinuation in what she was wearing was wrong?
Each year, as I get older, I believe America is becoming too uptight over petty issues over something like an individual’s rights to wear. It is no secret that femininity is a lost art and non-existence in Western societies. It should be put on the endangered specie list, yes?
When I look at the photo of Masha’s friend Rita, I asked myself: “Isn’t the picture worth a thousand words?”
What are the many characters that jump out at you? Isn’t Rita displaying her normal feminine self? The picture certainly brightened up my day!
(Rita is a beautiful lady with a nice smile, by the way!)
Guys, if any of you haven’t been to the FSU yet, then I can only say this: do not wait for the perfect time to take the next step in your life. It will never come if you wait.
Why bother waiting for the planets to align themselves perfectly as life flashes you by? Wouldn’t you be curious about the FSU ladies that everybody keeps talking about?
In the past year, I had visited Ukraine 3 times. 🙂
I can only say this: one will act like a little confused boy in a candy store who is so overwhelmed with a very strong flavor surrounding him: scents of feminine ladies everywhere. It is truly everywhere.
Look at the photo Rita again.
The picture simply speaks for itself…it’s truly worth a thousand words. The memories can be treasured and cherished, without a doubt.

I can’t speak for the rest of the country, but here in the American South, we’re pretty selective about the things we condemn and condone. For instance, it’s okay to hate blacks and other minorities, and tell the rest of the world how to live and love, but, for heaven’s sake, we’ve gotta abide by every other law. You know, attractive, well-dressed women might cause one to think bad thoughts. Aren’t they all to blame anyway?
August 28, 2008 at 2:02 am
Well, I’m in Russia right now visiting my fiancee and there are lot of young ladies looking as lovely as Rita here. So, I’m sure that it’s her normal appearance. But I can’t say that all women are gorgeous here. So, don’t get too excited guys. I’m from Finland myself and actually from what I can see the percentage of pretty women here isn’t higher than in any other country in the world!
They just know how to dress up sexy!
If interested – go to forum.fiance.com, you’ll find a lot of fascinateing stories about this issue on that site
August 28, 2008 at 4:32 am
Thanks for the comments everyone. Just pick any city in Siberia and you are going to find many attractive women everywhere.
This is Rita’s normal appearance for warm weather. This is not considered extra special or out of the ordinary at all. Russian Girls in general place great value in taking care of themselves and making sure they look “appropriate” when they go outside.
August 28, 2008 at 3:26 pm
By the way GL, why do you never post a photo of yourself on this site? I know you are a humble guy… so in case you were waiting for a request, I hereby make one.
August 28, 2008 at 3:46 pm
hmmm.. Maybe because these girls are a heck of a lot nicer to look at then your truly? 😉
August 28, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Sorry, but I have to agree with the mall for kicking the girl out. Having a belief in a society with less government intereference (and subsequently, less feminism influence) means allowing private institutions to self-regulate through the free market. A mall owner should be able to set what rules he wants, and in a conservative Bible belt, I would probably do the same thing.
That being said, this wouldn’t be an issue if other women haven’t ruined the act of wearing revealing clothing through their slutty actions. Other local women have done a good job of creating a reputation that is tacked onto any girl who shows a bit of leg. Thus, to avoid negative attention, as with any culture, it is important to take local beliefs and values into consideration. In Canada and the States, I automatically dress more conservatively than in other places such as Mexico, Hong Kong.
August 29, 2008 at 4:35 am
Janne, part of being sexy is knowing how to dress well. No, not all women are gorgeous everywhere just as not all men are handsome too. But for most of us mere more mortals, dressing well can make a world of difference.

SiSD here from an internet cafe in Siberia:)
I am getting to see quite a bit of this while over here. The dresses are generally shorter as are the shorts, these women enjoy their beauty instead of feeling shame. I have been lucky in hitting a hot late August/early September so girls haven’t had to pull out their winter gear. My interpreter(lifesaver) can’t believe that a women would be labeled badly in the US simply for wearing a short dress or short shorts. Here it is just appreciated.

Hi Taras,
That’s exactly what I was trying to say. My English isn’t perfect, so I’m sorry if my words sounded snobbish or something.
I completely agree with what you say. Who didn’t watch those TV shows when they pick up women who are considered ‘unattractive’, then change their clothing style, put some make-up on and we see a completely different person.
I also belive that if a woman feels beatiful inside, she becomes attractive outside
August 31, 2008 at 8:12 pm
You weren’t being snobbish at all Janne, and you’ve made some good points as well that sometimes aren’t emphasized enough. Beauty or attractiveness does indeed come from within.

Western women who dress like skanks tend to walk, talk, and act like skanks. In the Former Soviet Union, I have noticed (thanks to this blog and all the comments I have read) that FSU women dress like what West considers slutty (ironic since that is what the majority of “attractive” Western women wear).
It’s body language and actions, not looks that tell an observer what a woman might be like inside. Unfortunately in the West, us men have been trained to think that slutty women are good while cute and self-respecting (but not prudish) women are lackluster, if not outdated (pre-1960s).
I honestly believe that most Western men don’t have that the ability to make sound judgments about character because I have read the numerous horror stories of what indoctrinated women do to good men and the state of marriage and divorce in the USA and the lack of divorce in Europe replaced by a very high rate of extramarital sex.
I’m going to have to disagree with the first few posters on this article. The woman described does not seem to have ties to the FSU or Eastern Europe. She is probably just another hideous skank who thinks people will just bow down to her because of her “attractiveness”. However, I do agree that Westerners are intellectually lazy and that FSU women and Western women wear less clothes for different reasons; people should know that. If you have ever been to a Japanese-American supermarket, there are a ton of beautiful Asian and some white-Asian women who dress “slutty” by hypocritical American standards, but walk like true ladies. Again it’s all about body language and action.
I also agree with Anon Girl. As a gun nut, I believe liberty and freedom should go above all else. Human rights cannot exist without property rights. The mall is considered a public space but it is still private property.
September 4, 2008 at 4:15 am
It seems that we are not all on the same page concerning women’s attire. Part of my thinking comes from years of life in and around what is considered ‘the public eye’ as either an entertainer or a photographer. The rest of my opinion comes from the women I have met both inside and out of that particular sector of life.
I have known, and still do know, many women who dress provocatively in certain situations. While some of them (mostly North American) are clearly trying to ‘put on a show’ every chance they get, others just want to dress in whatever style is most fitting to their own personal self image. The latter are the kind of women who can generally wear anything and look pretty good and from time to time they step out on a social limb to express some hidden ‘bad girl’ frame of mind. But the key for them, as was mentioned in the previous post, is what their statement is beyond the clothes. The way they walk, the way they smile, the way they interact with the people around them. These are not slutty women and they don’t look or act slutty. They are just being free willed and are expressing themselves in an open way. Some of the women like this that I know are serious in their relationships, serious in their careers and serious about the responsibility they carry when out and about in public environments.
Then there are the average NA women who see how far they can go with their clothing and make-up to the point of scaring small children and making old ladies drop their teeth. For these women it wouldn’t matter if they had professional help getting ready every time they leave the house; they would still look and act cheap and degrading to all of womanhood. That’s the girl across from you on the bus, tapping the toe of her cheap, knock off Pradas behind you in line at Starbucks, or bitching about what some guy got that he couldn’t possibly deserve because there was a woman there who should have been considered first. These are the women that have so many of us guys contemplating packing up everything and moving thousands of miles to avoid their low life, self centered, panties never stink attitudes. When I was growing up on a farm they used to tell us, “You can put a hog in a pink taffeta prom dress, but it’s still a hog”. The average NA women can’t be dressed up enough to conceal what they really are and that is the main reason we (NA men) see bright colored tops with short skirts and our mind automatically thinks, “slut”.
There are millions of beautiful young women around the world and a large majority of them dress with the times. If that trend leaves NA women looking like trash it is only a coincidence. The women in NA go far beyond fashion to show how much self respect and dignity they have lost over the years.
For my part I’d like to go on record as saying that even though I believe clothing should be a statement of who you really are, I am certain that not everyone shares that view so let’s all try to actually see the person before we mistakenly judge them on the clothes they wear. For some women to dress seductively is part of their life agenda, but another woman could wear the exact same outfit because she thinks it makes her look pretty and it helps to build her self esteem.
September 4, 2008 at 6:32 pm
You are right Richard, but all humans know regardless of fashion trends of the nature of sexual attraction at least since junior high.
I have heard of women who noticed how men and women treated them differently based on their clothes. It’s just natural for us men to look at skin and shape of the body.
Women and girls know this, but instead of dressing and acting more womanly, they just call us men beasts, rapists, and generally, perverts – and then have sex with thugs, players, and pick-up artists. *sigh*
When I see a picture of a provocatively dressed woman, I have to tell myself: “Wow, she would look very hot to her long-term boyfriend or husband!” or “I’m going to see my future wife in that!” because I get so upset how Western women and girls just “give it away” to any guy and pick up emotional baggage. Each sexual relationship without true love weakens future relationships.
Now, the solution is not for women and girls to dress like Muslims, businessmen, or farm handles. Just take some ideas from the suburban 1950s and apply it to today’s fashion. Did you know that American women used to wear dresses, skirts, stockings or pantyhose, and heeled shoes – every day and enjoyed pleasing decent men?
Please check out my deviantART account by click my name. Take a look at my “favorites”. The images of women on there t look very beautiful and appealing and most importantly, feminine.

Centrist,
You’re sure right about the process of being judged by attire and as a product of the 50s and 60s I have had my share of the same. Maybe that is why it has been such an important area for me to denounce. Growing up in the “now” generation with sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll as a theme it was quite often that I was seen purely as a hippie, a tramp, a “ner-do-well” or worse. Our cries of “unfair” fell on deaf ears but somehow it instilled in me the concept of trying to know someone before labeling them. Now I try to teach my daughter that people are all unique but have nearly everything in common. (I wrote a song about it a million years ago) At the same time I generally tell her that how she looks will have a strong effect on how other people see her way before they get to know who she really is.
Sadly for all of us, the games and deceptions are being ‘downloaded’ into our children at alarming speed. Young North American girls in particular have been inundated with the competitiveness of relationships and how unnecessary any emotional connection is when choosing a mate. As for the boys, I think it is becoming clear to them that a pre-nup is more important than how they actually feel about a woman they might marry one day.
You are young and there are so many options facing you so I think it is great that you are already seeking them out rather than just rolling down the path of mediocrity.
Best of luck in all of your ventures.
September 5, 2008 at 10:25 am
Your perception changes drastically over here once you are immersed with girls that are dressing like this. Not all of them do but at least 1-2 times a city block you sill see a girl in a mini and heels walking down the road. The thing is noone pays them any more attention than the girl in jeans and a jacket walking behind her. It all in the perceptions of the society around them. Men enjoy and get excited to see the girls in these outifts here and do not judge them on that alone, nor do they care if they wear them even when they are together with them.
September 6, 2008 at 1:44 am
A simple response:
The girl is gorgeous as all hell.
September 6, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I have no problem with a woman flaunting her assests, as long as she doesn’t bitch about men staring at her (or worse yet, file a complaint for “visual sexual harassment”)
September 6, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Hero,
I’m with you on that one.
I once listened in on a conversation between two women at a pub in Seattle. I was getting ready to do a comedy set and was standing in a hallway near the restrooms. One woman was undoing the top two buttons of her blouse followed by a sprits of perfume to her cleavage while complaining to the other, “Did you see the way that jerk at the bar was staring at my tits?” What could I do but laugh out loud then find a way to mock her during my set.
The “NA way” for women is to be as provocative as possible and then bitch about the results of their slutty behavior.
Oh well, that’s why we’re here I guess.
September 7, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Russian women are the best!
And Rita is summarily stunning.
Nice use of sun light and composition in this photo.
October 6, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I think that this website has a lot of interesting blogs and I agree with a lot of them. As an American woman, I think it’s really f*cked up that our culture literally forces us to adhere to this “set type” of beauty and then later punishes us for it. (Example: Telling us that we need to get rid of our facial wrinkles but then turning around and giving us Botox scares left and right) It seems to me that Russian culture tends to “allow” women to be more like “themselves,” whereas over here in America, we have so many different people telling us that we have to be “sexy” but not “too sexy;” that we have to be “strong” but not so “strong” that we scare off any potential future mates. Literally, we American women are driving ourselves to the grave…I consider myself to be a very normal, attractive woman but I literally can’t handle it anymore. Everytime I step foot out the door, I feel like I have to evaluate what I wear because over here, we get judged more harshly than in other cultures. I used to live in Italy and I loved the way that fashion was a reflection of inner beauty and personality…and not the other way around. Now I live in Washington DC and let’s just say that when it comes to fashion, the city gets about a D- in my book. Not to mention that whenever I’m walking down the street in even a decent, modest, and chic outfit, I get harassed by men even when I am avoiding all eye contact. It doesn’t seem fair to me that Russian women can walk around in beautiful and fashionable clothes and that the men will not only respect them but admire them…but over here, American women get critiqued so harshly! My Eastern European roomate and I both dress fashionably and modestly and we still get harassed constantly while walking to stores and cafes.
The thing that I don’t like the most about living in Washington is that everybody is obsessed with power. Men, women, even teenagers. Everybody takes their anger out on their driving (I have been hit twice in the past 12 months alone!) and everything is all about how much work you can do in the least amount of time. Everyone cheats on everyone and they lie about it. I lived in Paris too and even though most people cheated on each other, there was none of this fear about aging and a spouse leaving you. People put more thought into what they ate, what they wore…and less about “who looks better” or “what’s in it for me?”
Does anybody else here live in or around DC and know what I mean about this city?
Needless to say, I am moving back to Italy so I can marry an Italian and have cute bambinos…haha. 🙂
June 23, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Too bad this is an old post since I would like to understand better what Elizabeth meant by being harassed by men based on her dressing up nice. I’m Russian living in Chicago and I love to dress in pretty dresses (mostly sew them myself or bring them from Russia, since can not find anything I like in US stores). I get a lot of comments and compliments from strangers (men and women) about my clothes. If those comments are made in a respectful manner or man looks at you (more of a stare) with admiration in his eyes – what’s wrong with that? Polite smile back and the day gets better for both of you. It seems that women here get upset when they don’t attract attention of the guy they want (that’s why they dressed provocatively in the first place), but of some other men they don’t find desirable or worthy of them (another big subject)and it becomes bitching “how dare he to look at me with those thoughts?!” I just want to say to them (not sure they will hear me though) – relax, be polite and kind, and then that hot guy you dream about will not be scared away by your demeanor.
But I’m getting too far away from Elizabeth’s comment. I do share her problem of social pressure to dress more simple, functional and unflattering – basically boring and non-sexy. But NOBODY will take away my high heels and feminine dresses. Unless it’s my future husband asking to take them off. ;-)))
June 23, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Love your comments. I think you are exactly right all across the board.
Stay as you are in your thinking and in your choice of clothing.
June 24, 2010 at 2:25 am
I absolutely adore your comment, and I will read it whenever I start to consider conforming to rest of this boring NA society. I bought my first serious pair of heels today because of this site! 😉
October 7, 2008 at 5:10 am
Greetings Elizabeth,
I read your comment with great interest given that you are an american girl who has done some travelling and have lived in other places where women are free to be real women.
Living in D.C. sounds like a serious drag.
On one hand everyone is after power and that typically translates into sniping and putting other people down to try to make themselves look good.
So I imagine its a pretty shallow place.
Inspite of the pressure you feel from others about the way you look I would ignore them and be the real woman you wish to be with your soul and outward representation of that.
Call your own shots and don’t worry what the sheeple in the flock are trying to get you to conform to.
You are certainly right about American women driving themselves to the grave I feel. They have let mass media have WAY too much influence on their identities.
Maybe moving back to Italy is not such a bad idea eh? 🙂
Good Luck to you and thanks for the compliments on the site.
October 9, 2008 at 1:39 am
I’ve been to Khabarovsk Russia a few times and believe me the girls there are just as stunning as Rita. At least 8:1 ratio of beautiful girls. Love that city!
October 9, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Elizabeth,
I’ve been thinking a lot about your recent post and even passed some of your thoughts around in conversation a few days ago. While I can certainly understand the frustration you go through in trying to be accepted by our society, I can’t help but wonder what makes you tolerate it all. You sound like you understand the dynamic that this is purely cultural and that the pressure you are feeling is not an outright demand, so why not refuse to play that game in the first place? This is the same culture that is telling you that you must be lock step with the feminist agenda to survive and succeed as a women yet you seem unwilling to do that so why not take the same stand on something like your physical appearance and attire, as well?
Please understand that I am not trying to be critical here, but rather I am hoping to better understand the mindset and the reluctant willingness, which most of us have, to conform to the dictates of others. As a bit of a maverick myself throughout life, I know that conformity feels like the easy road at first but one day we all realize that it has been at the cost of our own values. It seems that until we start to adhere to our core beliefs first we can never feel truly happy and free.
I know that in your area the pressure is high; I’ve spent a lot of time in and around DC because I have many friends there. If the sort of social life you seek is surrounded by the mainstream thoughts and actions of that environment, you are never going to find it easy or comfortable just being yourself. Most of us know at least a little about the intensity of the mindset in that part of the country, especially now, however I think that when you are alone with your thoughts and look in the mirror you must decide if life there is worth the exchange you make every day.
At one point in my youth I took a hard look at everything that my life had to offer and compared it to everything on my list of hopes and dreams and the two were simply not compatible. I boxed up my things and put them in storage and left. Even though that first ‘go round’ was less than a success and I ended up back at square one, the experience had shown me that living up to the standards of others was never going to fulfill me in any way. The next time I packed up and moved it was permanent. Even at that, there have been a few times when self evaluation has driven me to make major changes in jobs or locales to continue placing peace of mind over conformity.
I know that it is different for men in regards to what I’m saying here but at the same time I know many women who have fought the every day régime and placed their sanity and self worth above all of that hype and b*llsh*t. Especially so here in the Seattle and Vancouver areas.
By the way, I totally agree with your point about Italy. What a wonderful country and what a great perspective they have on relationships and romance. Everyday life there is at a pace most Americans could never imagine existed anywhere. The art and the history along with some of the most beautiful countryside on Earth just blew me away. A close friend and I took his teenage daughter there a few years ago and she was completely overwhelmed by the culture. Her life was changed by the experience and I hope to take my daughter there when she’s a bit older to see it, too.
To echo what rw_man is saying, “to one’s self be true”. Be who you are rather than who the world around you tells you that you should be.
Best wishes for whatever course you take in life.

There is this huge scam going around where Russian, Ukranian and Romanian women pretend that they will be marry you or sleep with you for ____ much cash, this is exploited all over youtube and various websites where men were being scammed by these women. Using vulnerable qualities against men and brainwashing them to hate their own culture is not a good idea. Especially to hate their own country, use political tactics and Feminism. Which is not only bullshit it also offends honest women and women who are real people.
Russian women btw, can be overweight as i’ve seen on videos and websites and especially Russian dating sites. The women in my family are even more beautiful than most women on this site. Why would be ban any women from a mall? That is silly. I know models, my family are models, I grew up with some gorgeous women who are skinny and gorgeous and that is outrageous.
May 29, 2009 at 5:35 am
i know russian girls are slim.. and tall.,i am russian too..
but not all russian women are slim. especially after a certain age – its very common and famous..
Russian women are not FRENCH WOMEN..
also.. i dont think its necessary to compare every instance of Russian women with American women..
this makes us – appear as if all russian women are bitter !
i know you would disagree.. but this is a blog with opne comments.. feel free to delete my comments.. but i am not happy with such uncalled for comparisions..
what tomorrow.. some Indian women will wear some dress and you would advise them how to wear Russian summer skirts?
its not fair /// please..
its no taliban.. where one group speaks for the rest of the community..
agencies dont speak for all russian women..
i mean.. its great to speak and talk, what you want.. but please dont make uncalled for and unjust comparisons either..
in many parts of america.. there is no problem with how women dress in russia, china or india?
June 18, 2010 at 2:51 am
we’re comparing the social norms of Russian and other countries with America.
It appears that it’s socially acceptable for Russian women to wear what they want without being judged whereas in America one is constantly judged by what one wears. There are set rules for women in order to be taken seriously and respected. “A good woman, good girl” dresses a certain way according to society. Women in America are judged and very judgemental. A provocatively dressed woman is only looking for one thing. Take Adriana Lima. People were astounded that an underwear model was a virgin.
Rw_man I love your message to American girls. I’m tired of all the bitching.
Elizabeth- I say to hell with it all. Let’s dress the way we want to dress. Oh and practice the ice princess- I’m going to kick your ass stare.

In honesty in America a woman is judged by what she wears. As Kate stated a woman is labled by what she wears. In my opinion Kymberly’s outfit is no problem especialy if you like to compare it to how some women dress on tv such as in music videos.

In Siberia well dressed equals sexy.
Fair play really, because most of them are fairly good looking. In fact I believe the percentage of beautiful women is quite high in Kuzbass.
What shoked me really was not the amount of provocatively dressed ladies. (thanks to their tastes I even managed to buy a work dress which was sold out in Msc.)
But the way teenagers dress there. They all look like little women! Even if they are 12 or 13.

Kisha,
Your last comment is the big concern in NA since very young girls are dressing like women, and sexy women at that, we have a very high incident of sexual abuse coming from boys and men over a wide range of ages. I know families in Canada who let their 10 to 12 year old girls dress as if they are looking for action. I can’t understand the thinking behind this. When a woman is old enough to support herself, the clothing choices become their own, but for pre-teen to high school aged girls to dress like hookers is very offensive to me.
I think that all of the girls we see here on GL are well dressed for their ages, maturity and social environment. In fact they all seem to be very aware of their image in every way.

I don’t know where it all comes from, maybe TV maybe upbringing maybe environment, but I find it very disturbing when a child is presented as a sexual object. ‘Cause yes I have to admit young girls where I live look totaly different to what I saw in Siberia. So it was a bit of a cultural shock for me to see kids in high hills with faces full of make up.
GL girls are ok though, but they are not 13 are they?
