Hello World. The power of the provocative. Being a woman has so many privileged perks. I declare . . . the power of provocation is definitely one of the many. Fabulous shoes are another.

However . . . misplaced provocation is just that . . . misplaced and could possibly be very dangerous. Case in point, the little girls today who are allowed to wear apparel with words across their little bums. I saw with my own eyes a little girl about 5 years or so . . . and she had the word "hottie" across her little backside. Now wait honey . . . this is inappropriate provocation.

My heart goes out to the moms of young children today. To dress them for school must be like tip toeing through a minefield. Sexy, hottie, kissable, juicy . . . the list goes on and on. These terms are on everything from tshirts to lunchboxes. Women . . . what are we doing ? I declare . . . we totally do not know. These children do not go out and work to earn the money to buy these clothes . . . we are choosing to purchase this in the name of "cute". Then we wonder why are children are being snatched, lusted over, and we know what else is going on out there.

Look, No is a fabulous word. 1, 2, 3 . . . let's all say it together NO. See . . . it's easy once you get the hang of it . . . NO !!! Say it again NO!!! Say it like you mean it !!! NO !!! There . . . that's better. Hear me women, the power of provocation is just that. Power !!! It is not to be casually thrown around and inappropriately allocated. Let me tell the world. I have earned my ability to be provocative.

In the era of "my momma is my friend" . . . don't dress your children like they are your drinking buddies. Be careful of what you allow them to do. If you let her wear "hottie" at 4 or 5, girl . . . when she gets to be 10 years of age you won't be able to reach her, emotionally. This world is upside down, do not allow this world to guide your offspring. Say NO !!! and mean it. Give them choices within the boundaries that you set up.

I declare . . . we allow our children to have a childhood. Let them watch and learn from YOU, how to be . . . a wonderful, powerful, and provocative (when appropriate) hottie.
