I'm glad to hear about your modesty. I hope to raise my own little girl the same. JLP, I think there is some middle ground to be had between flashing and bead making.

But I can see how a young American girl who has never gone to sleep hungry, never had to work on anything more backbreaking than a computer keyboard could end up that way. As a mother I'm trying to instill in my own little girl the idea that our bodies are too important to be traded for plastic. She was born with advantages (not nearly as many as some, but plenty in any case)and with her advantages there is responsibility.--That's my job and it's frustrating but fulfilling. I saw part of this documentary...and felt too ashamed when the young workers were watching the video that showed what their work wrought to continue. Fortunately for me, I’ve never been a flasher.
