I used to agree with the dictionary’s definition of dignity…
1–bearing, conduct, or speech indicative or self-respect or appreciation of
the formality or gravity of an occasion or situation.
2–nobility or
elevation of character; worthiness.
I was watching the news last nite, and they did a report on last nite’s concert. Hilary Duff was in town concerting on her latest album “Dignity”. And of course, they showed footage from the concert. What part of this looks like dignity??
I was wondering what happened to the girl’s pants. How is she parading on a public stage, under bright, bright lights pantless, wearing only a shirt? But wait–the above picture shows my error–she’s wearing “shorts”. So, uh, you make a big deal of dying your hair and trying to maintain a mature image, but forget how to fix your wardrobe to match a more dignified kind of look?? Sorry…
The thing is that you know you’re an idol for young girls. There were little kids out past their bedtime at this concert last nite (the paper told of an 8-yr old who fell asleep at the reportedly dull concert…). So, whether or not this was your intended audience, why not take what you got, and live it up? Show the younger generation that you can be cool, pretty & hip–all with clothes on!
Let’s get back to the dictionary’s definiton of dignity please. Don’t undo all the hardwork of the many highly respectable and deservingly dignified women out there.
