Modest Is Hottest!

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, 'I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got'? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

Boy, what would it be like if the world took her viewpoint?  It would sure be easier to raise a modestly dressed girl.  And it would be less stressful trying to dress age-appropriately.  And I'd have fewer worries about sending my son out into the world on his own (someday).  Plus I'd have less awkward moments with my family when we are faced with this "worldly sexy" idea common out in public.

I have always liked this girl.  Now this statement is just another reason to applaud her success.
