Dressing for distress - or is it privilege power move?

I’m so late to this party. That’s what happens when work gets in the way…

First, it appears my kid was described here to a T. He’s still in his shorts and polo shorts (dress code) with his flip flops no matter what the weather, and his hair is between his shoulder blades (imagine how much worse it’d be if it didn’t curl up in ringlets). This, partly a result of having 6 cow licks on his head, so he either goes @ChoatieMom buzz or longish…and no haircut since mid-August. The shorts and flip flops… well, partly because it’s “not that cold” and sneakers take too long to tie (we are from Texas, where it’d be a crime to even sell boat shoes). So, flip flops/slides are considered good time management.

Next, @skieurope I need to know what the male term for tart art is, please. It seems I’m even more behind on urban lingo than I am on CC happenings. And after discovering “tart art”, my curiosity is killing me.

And finally, I have just as much problem with girls who think it’s appropriate to be wearing dresses so short that boys can see more than tart art as I do with having to see teenage boys toes. They are definitely shorter than the boys shorts…in the same weather conditions. So, at least the dress code police are consistent between genders.

Male equivalent to tart art…hmmm :-?
