Boycott Booty Shorts

I know, I know, I know. It sounds so vindictive. But I'm actually really serious about it. I'm tired of it. As a female who has to walk around on this earth for only God knows how long on the two legs He gave me... I'm sick and tired of seeing every single other females butt cheeks. SICK of it. And this personal boycott isn't JUST for booty shorts... it's also for mini skirts, macro mini skirts, and dresses.

You know why?? Because it's so lame. WHY bother wearing tight shorts that give you wedgies and ride up anyways?? And a girl can't honestly say her shorts don't do that... at least the short ones anyways. (And even some long ones.) Why bother with a skirt that is so short that every time you go to sit down, someone somewhere can see your stinkin panties peekin out?? And why bother even wearing a dress that is so short you can't even bend over in it, or function normally, without seeing all of your glory?? I just hope the wind doesn't blow, which in Amarillo, it does everyday. Actually no, I think I DO want it to... cuz maybe those girls will stop wearin that stuff. I know these things.... I wore them too once upon a time. I am so beautiful though, and I love ME so much now, that I like to keep my legs, from about 3 inches above my knee all the way up to my butt, COVERED UP. You know, some shorts/skirts/dresses are just an inch OR LESS away from a girls own cooter!!! And guess what.... every single male walking on two legs and has something between them... KNOWS THAT TOO!!!

I'm a Christian. Flat out. That doesn't mean I'm a goody-good... it means I suck so bad I need Jesus and God to save me. It means I try every single day to be the best I can be. And I can't do that if I'm wearing something that later on that night, some male who saw me in those shorts/skirt/dress is picturing me in their bedroom. And girls think that doesn't happen... yes it does. Isn't that so terrible, those nasty boys, right??? Wrong. I believe 100% that the responsibility lies on US WOMEN to stop letting ourselves be that image. I realized that about 3 years ago, and I'm GLAD. BUT... don't think for even one second that Christian girls are not in this category, because you'd be completely wrong.

For example... I recently went to the Switchfoot concert in Amarillo.... and I was so ANGRY. Because there were girls everywhere JUST LIKE THAT. Christian girls. Like me. (Except for the clothes.) True story. I literally CRIED because I was so frustrated and disgusted!!!! It was extremely hard for me to love my boyfriend of TWO YEARS with girls walking around looking like that. I could hardly stand it. And if you think "if they're really in love they won't look".... that's a lie, and even better, that is an excuse. Because it is literally impossible for males to ignore. Proven fact. Christian or sexist pig.... they can't. Christian men just wish those women would GO HOME and change so they can honor their wives without silly interruptions the way God honors US everyday. And it isn't' very honoring to Him to dress that way. God wouldn't gallivant around here with His shirt off here on earth showing off His body.... why should we???? We need to protect each other from this sin!! My boyfriend would be really mad if all the guys at that concert had no shirts except him cuz he's a good Christian that loves me, and were trying to love me when I could hardly focus cuz every where I looked a half naked man was walking in front of me!! It's not jealousy..... it's RESPECT!!

Any girl can wear that stuff.... but a real woman doesn't HAVE to!!! And girls can't say, "You're just mad cuz you don't have anything to show off, you don't have anything to flaunt...". Hahaha!!! WRONG honies..... oh YES I DO..... I just have someone who loves me very much and I would never show my body off in return. I would be single. I have a temple that God gave me to GLORIFY HIS image, not mine. It makes us girls like me feel like crap... because culturally THAT is what is accepted. It's one of those things where doing the right thing is not cool, and it is hard. But hey..... here's a secret... that is exactly what being a Christian is all about!!! If it were easy and cool, EVERYONE would be a Christian... but it's not, it's a challenge and it's discipline! So I challenged myself to this boycott.... and everyone who reads this.... I challenge YOU. Male or female. This isn't okay. It might be cool and pretty, and sexy in public, on media, and everywhere.... but it's STILL not okay. And I feel pretty, cool and sexy every day of my life.... and I do NOT dress that way. And my boyfriend thinks so too, without those clothes, and he loves me for that much and more. Save those things for the place they belong.... either on the RACK where you see them, or in the privacy of your OWN room/home where the ONLY people who need and deserve to enjoy those things are. (Meaning your own self or if you're married, your spouse.) It's unjustified, and unnecessary. If I could, I would ban stores from selling it... because then nobody could dress that way, and it wouldn't matter so much because it wouldn't be a problem. It would be cool to NOT have to show so much. My contribution is THIS.... my personal booty short boycott.








Superchick So Beautiful Lyrics:

We are a thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
And we are, and we are
So Beautiful

We are light, we were born beautiful
We were meant to be more than these shadows of girls
They cut us down to size, afraid we'll change the world
But we'll fight for your right to be beautiful girls
If every girl could see her beauty,
We would be an army

We are a thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
And we are, and we are
So Beautiful

We have dreams we were born to fulfill
We were meant to be more than just fairytale girls
We are colors so bright, each a beautiful girl
We are stars in the night, and we're changing the world
When every girl can see her beauty,
We will be an army

We are thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
And we are, and we are
So Beautiful

To Number 22.....

You make my heart skip beats and beat faster at the same time.
Your hand asked what your mouth wouldn't, then my hand said, "Yes, I'll go out with you."
That was all it took, and here we are 2 years later.
I was 14 when I first saw you across the courtyard, I'm 19 and still amazed.
Sometimes I feel like a jigsaw puzzle, and you just make me feel complete.
Other times, I just know our hands were made to hold each others.
Because God made you... I know He's in love with me.
I love your smile, so I like making you laugh so it will reappear.
You are the best friend that I've ever had,
You're the best team mate I have ever gotten to play with,
You are the best boyfriend I will always get to love.
You promise me... and you do it.
You tell me... and I believe you.
I would follow you anywhere, I told you that when I was 16.
Now I'm 19, and I just can't picture having any US, without the U.
You make me burn in places of my heart that I never even knew existed.
For the first time ever... there are 3 in this relationship,
And He, God Himself, makes us so perfect together while we're so imperfect.
I watched your games, and I didn't even think I existed to you.
And then we were both number 22,
Now I exist, but I still like to sneak peeks at you just cuz you're you.
In the courtyard I asked my friends if I looked okay,
Then I asked if you looked at me,
And for some reason you still do everyday.
Somehow all roads led to YOU.
Our names are like a one-word name now that our friends use to shorten things up.
Sometimes, I love you so much I forget you even need to hear it.
I like telling you... because you tell me too.
When my eyes get cloudy, and start to rain...
Your shoulder is the warm grass I can always fall on.
We're not just cute and hot and sexy to each other... no way.
It's handsome and beautiful and amazing.
I didn't wait my whole life to find you...
I cried, laughed, and learned my way to earn you when I did.
Losing you would be like losing a thumb....
I would live, but I just can't get a grip without you.
If you and me were the last ones on the whole Earth...
I would still wait until we were married.
That's how special you are to me.
For the first time in my life saying you won't love me tomorrow
Would be like saying the sun won't shine at all tomorrow.
For the first time, my dad completely approves and it even makes him cry.
No Harley will ever make him happier than when he sees me so happy with you.
It feels like only this summer we watched that Pirates of the Caribbean movie...
But it feels like eternity when I feel our love.
I prayed when that movie ended that I would just be able to keep you....
And I still do.

I love you.
