At church Lady Hiva and I have the chance to do activities
with the 8-11 year old girls. They are a fun and energetic bunch. Tonight we
teamed up with the Young Women for their “Modesty Fashion show.” The purpose
was to show girls they can be modest and still be fashionable. All too often
the world teaches these beautiful young girls that unless they shorten, pin,
reveal, or leave off parts of clothing they won’t be ‘in style’ or accepted.
Of course that is not true.
The girls were split up into groups and they were given the
challenge to come up with a themed fashion line. One of the “outfits” had to be
created with duct tape and paper plates. The experience was complete with the
groups deciding how their “models” would wear the outfit and have their hair
done. Not surprising Effie Trinket was the inspiration behind two of the plate outfits.
At the end they modeled their creativity, proving you can be
modest and still be fashionable. There were plenty of laughs to go around.
