Girly Word t-shirts vs. Cute t-shirts For Girls

I hate girly word t-shirts. We all do, right? You know, those little cap-sleeve tshirts girls in the United States wear that have provocative words stretched over their breasts. Take this, for example:


I mean, that is really bad. If I saw a pre-teen girl wearing one of these I would want to slap her. It's not as bad as "Princess" or "Daddy's Little Girl" or anything alluding to "Your Boyfriend..." (ie. "Sorry I Stole Your Boyfriend" or "He wasn't your Boyfriend when I was Doing Him", etc..). I just hate them. Why do you even want a boyfriend? You're only 14 for Gods sake! It's so sexual or something. I think the prevalence of these shirts shows a lack of good parental monitoring. It makes me think there are larger issues wrong with this country and that Pakistan has something right. But I basically think girls should be wearing turtlenecks and reading in the library until they are 15 anyway, so maybe I'm a poor judge.

But there are exceptions. The "Little Miss" shirts are an example. They are back in circulation. "Little Miss" and "Mr." book series by Roger Hargreaves had exceptionally cute illustrations, and the tshirts are fantastic.



Little Miss Bossy is kind of amazing. Just look at her! She's rudely and totally adorably yelling something bossy but has the classiness to wear her best Sunday hat that has a flower in it. These make great presents for moms, sisters, girlfriends, pre-teen girls, and Mindys. Now if only they'd come out with this guy:

Other acceptable prints are: Lucy from the Peanuts (a variation of Little Miss Bossy), Snagglepuss, and Velma from "Scooby Doo". And yes, these are three cartoon characters who bearing more than striking resemblances (in temperment and looks) to yours truly.
