you will all i am sure want to burn me at the stake for letting my 5 year old dress up like katy perry for halloween, but we are past witch trials (or so i thought). drawing the line for sexuality is a personal choice. will you be making it illegal for couples to copulate in any other position than missionary? will you ban lip gloss on girls under 18? will you mutilate the face of a beautiful child to make her less tempting/threatening to others in society?

they used words that pressed your puritan buttons. the same bikini top without the descriptive words of “push up” would have been palatable if not preferred for having padding to protect the girls from having their nips showing.

free yourself from having to control and judge others for their parenting skills if they are not putting their child in harms way. or are you saying males have no control over their sexual urges? then maybe we should castrate them at birth? or maybe teach them respect for females at a very young age so they are able to reason and have self control. just sayin’…

omg people calm down its completely fine for teens to be wearing this stuff. children on the other hand probably wont even want to wear a push up and if they don’t want it or there parents don’t want it they don’t have to buy it. but ts completely fine for teens. stop having a cow over this stuff saying your gonna put them out of business. just calm down.

A & F has gone too far. They are obviously in the business of pimping out our kids for profit!

Don’t buy – America stand up! Have the guts to say no more pimping for profit!

The people who say “just don’t buy it” have little insight into the the marketing of products to children, how it preys on their insecurities. This is why people have to write letters and threaten boycotts to get rid of products and stores like this. It gets harder and harder to find children’s clothing that doesn’t sell Disney or have the brand logo all over it. They are trying to turn our kids into tools and it is working (look at all the people wearing 100$ “North Face” fleece we adults are tools too)

When I lived and worked in NYC in the 1970s, I used to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch; sales only. It was one of those special Manhattan stores – exclusive, expensive, tasteful, exotic. It had only the very best items of a quality that could only be found in maybe three world-class cities.
What a downfall! Like Toyota, its fall from grace came with scuzzy management that decided to lose standards in favor of profits by appealing to the lowest common denominator.
