Who’s more sexy: Gwen Stefani at the left or Gossip Girl at the right? Who is showing more flesh? At first you will say Gossip Girl, but at closer look, Gwen Stefani’s skirt also reveals more than you thought you ‘d bargained for.
Personally I still love the Gwen Stefani look much more than the Gossip girl look. But my preference doesn’t matter if you have a teenage girl trying to look like her role models.
Fact is that TV influences what teens wear. And although stars like Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez or Beyonce Knowles gear their own clothing lines towards women, they have an enormous affect on the much younger crowd. But these are hardworking celebrities that portray who they are: performers who work hard for the money.
Then there is Gossip Girl: she is a totally fictive person and therefore cannot be bothered about her image unless for making as much money possible with the show. Once the show is finished, who cares…
Unfortunately: fictive role models are not always the best, as they are fictive to start with. Young viewers do love to mimic these fictive style trends worn by Gossip Girl characters whose behaviour is less than exemplary.
I am sure you won’t be bothered unless… you have a teenage daughter to take care of. My niece dresses up like Paris Hilton, sending out a message of pure confidence and when she opens her mouth, it’s smart opinionated talk. Nothing wrong with that, she just has to make sure to avoid dark alleys.
But younger girls also wear clothes that are very suggestive and sending the message of being sexually available, aware and mature. And we just have to look at their legal age to know that they are not what they are portraying to be.
That’s why I love real life examples like Gwen Stefani: if your child models herself to Gwen, you know that she is portraying a hard working pregnant mother with a shape to die for…
