Last sumer I saw a very young girl (no more than 10 years old) wearing a tee shirt with the words "Porn Star" written on the front. Aparently it is a brand name. The girl was with her family, what her parents were thinking....???

I doubt they were! Do you remember the outcry a few years ago when Abercrombie and Fitch came out with thong panties for young girls? The sizes were supposed to be for kids 7-14 yrs, but the smallest fit kids much younger.

You should have seen the kids at the dance recital I was at a couple weeks ago. 4 to 7 year old girls were dressed by their parents to perform on stage with cut off shirts showing the midriff and shorts that rivaled Daisy Duke.

Night John. Come back and teach us all your learnings.

I did more teaching than learning, but if you need help, Curt would be a better choice than me. He does it all the time and I haven't done anything like that in three or four years...

Now when I was a senior... 16 years ago, it was done in the summer time before your senior year, you had 1 outfit and one 'drape' formal type half dress thing (again mom and dad have those....) that was just a head shot. The headshot went into the year book then you could buy packages.... guys 'formal' was a tux/tie/jacket.

This was pretty much the way it was when I graduated from high school in 1965. It was all done in a studio and it was all very formal.. There were never any outdoor shots or informal shots.

This year I happened to see at one of our local malls a 'senior portrait' store front... it's the same company who does our preschool portraits. They had all sorts of props, backdrops and such... Until POTN I had never heard of non-school portrait folks doing senior pictures.... It's been interesting to see them.... But again I've not been a senior in 16 years hehehehe

I suspect some of the change has been promoted by commercial portrait photographers who saw their market shrinking with the advent of digital photography. The "Senior Portrait" market seems to be a very large part of commersial portrait photography these days.

YOu're right!

It reminded me of that SNL faux ad for thong diapers! Strangely, I have seen several things over the last few years that took me right back to some SNL faux advertisement.

Things like this are exactly why I encouraged the 'grunge' look in my girls
