Lovelyish

This may be my most favorite post anyone has ever put up on xanga. Good for you… and major kudos. I 100% agree with everything you said.

Amen!

THANK YOU.

I agree, but I’m kind of iffy on that self-esteem part. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something in there that I don’t find… a genuinely defensive reason. But otherwise, I agree.

I’m still not impressed by her for this. She should have known she was going to on a kid’s show and to cover up the ta-ta’s.

Haters gonna hate

nice post and agreed

still though… a halter or something might have been better…

So true.

Let breast be free, viva la women 

amen.

Thank you! Although Katy Perry actually has kind of a large chest (D-cups, although I think one time she might have said they were 32DD), but she’s a tiny girl which fairly big boobs. They’re hard to cover, and it was the Sesame Street wardrobe department’s job to worry about whether or not she was dressed appropriately, not Katy’s. Not to mention the director, producers, and various other people who could’ve said “change clothes, Katy.”

@KickingSheep@xanga - You missed the point of this whole post.

Finally someone who doesn’t bash Katy in their post! Seriously, it seems like everyone is out to get her these days…

-nods head in agreement-

@muses_muse@xanga - Maybe so, and I’m OK with being in the wrong on this. But I’m still sticking to my guns that

to me

 there really isn’t anything that will make the dress OK, if someone else can see past it, and make logical reasons to justify Katy Perry’s actions, all the power to them. If she were to wear that dress to any other show or event, I would not have cared in the slightest, so I’m not saying she needs to cover up and be ashamed of her self, just maybe know when it’s appropriate to wear what ever.

I got the how embrace your body thing, and that’s a good point. 
Man, I did not mean to play devils advocate here, I was just saying.

Ok, I can see where there is a lot of boob showing, but I don’t see why the parents care so much. And she does have big boobs. They’re definitely not small.

@adoptionoption@xanga - thank you so much! =]

@KickingSheep@xanga – once again, kids aren’t perverted.

@CelestDiggory@xanga - basically that part was geared toward the women who don’t like Katy Perry simply because she’s good looking & talented & use that hate as a reason why this is inappropriate.

@mankini@xanga - lol i looked it up, they are 32D but they really don’t look it in this video so she did a good job hiding them. If Sesame Street is like every other television production i’m sure wardrobe picked out her clothes, too. They didn’t see anything wrong with it, i’m sure. I honestly think they did a great job covering her up, though, i found this picture of Miss Piggy with a plummeting top that showed her cleavage & was wayyy more disturbed.

Katy Perry is small breasted? What are you, 500lbs? Jesus.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - ………. really didn’t think that was called for & had nothing to do with the post, but thanks!

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - It didn’t? Cause I was pretty sure I was referencing a sentence straight from the post!

I don’t understand why the limits have to be continually pushed. I haven’t made a fuss about her wardrobe but the show is just for kids…why the need to even show cleavage? I have a feeling she had some input on what she wore. I am not jealous at all of her. I think she’s very attractive and it’s nothing personal against her. Just cover your nice breasts up for a few minutes. Not that hard.

I want my child fairly covered up. Not in an extreme sense and not because her body is disgusting but rather the opposite. She is a beautiful little girl and an innocent one. I would hate for anyone to find her arousing until it’s appropriate.

You’re right – young kids aren’t perverted but they are impressionable. To say that no kids are perverted is naive. There are a lot of kids who are very perverted. You should look up the statistics of incest and sexuality among children between the ages of 8 and 12.

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - Kids aren’t perverted, thank you for telling me again. But I’m talking about Katy Perry, not the kids.

I’d have to disagree on the part that Katy Perry has small boobs because if you google Katy Perry “Esquire” magazine, she’s covering them with her hand and arm. They look about a D cup to me. Overall, this is a good post and I was sick of hearing people whining about it. I didn’t think she was showing that much either and kinders aren’t going to point at the tv and scream tits. 

I just honestly don’t know why they decided to put her in that outfit.  I mean I’m sure she has plenty of other cute outfits…but they choose the one that has a really low cut.  I mean…come on!  It’s not like that’s the only thing she had to wear, so that’s why I don’t understand why they didn’t see that!  I don’t think its about self-esteem or anything…why is it so wrong to think maybe she should’ve picked a better outfit. 

@JoyElizabeth82@xanga - this is exactly my thoughts.  seriously if society keeps pushing the boundaries soon there will be no limits.  

I can see why some parents might be upset about this but I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal.   I can’t see how they put this together without realizing people would make a fuss over it.  You’re just asking for trouble showing that much skin on something like Sesame Street.

Agreed except the part where you say she has small breasts. For her frame she has pretty large breasts but in that top they look rather small…

@KickingSheep@xanga - @JoyElizabeth82@xanga - Agreed.

I never fed into the fuss, but there were more modest choices out there. I know it, you know, we all know there were better choices that would have made this situation a lot easier.
I think her reaction(/retaliation?) to it all, wearing a cleavagey Elmo shirt or whatever it was, was completely stupid and immature. She knows she has boobs, and no they’re NOT small, and going on a kid’s show wearing an intentionally low-cut dress (oh sorry, it goes up to the neck with sheer fabric *slaps forehead*) just wasn’t a well-thought decision on anyone’s part who worked on that episode.

i see your point, and i genuinely agree with the last one.  I just think that parents are alarmed when their children have any sort of sexuality put in their face.  and i guess cleavage on a children show isn’t appropriate no matter how you slice it.  but, im not really riled up about it either way.  its not like she was molesting children.  who cares. 

Some people aren’t happy unless the ladies are wearing niqabs.

good post.

her boobs look bigg, shes just wearing a strapless bra so they arent pushed up, just sagging

Sesame Street should’ve told her to change, then. Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with her outfit. But, I don’t think it’s Katy’s fault at all. It’s Sesame Street’s for not asking her to change. And, yes, I have a daughter. No, I do not want her to parade her body about like a cheap hooker but, there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT OUTFIT! Thank you.

The first thing I’d said when I heard about this (mind you I was with my dad at the time) was that whoever was complaining hadn’t seen how she dresses for her music videos. I searched up a clip when listening to some parodies on youtube and I was shocked at how stupid some parents had been. If you look at the outfit, you can see two slightly off shades of tone because she’s not just wearing the dress. She’s got a skin colored piece under that dress which is what those silver rings connect to. Look closer people. I’m not a theatre major or anything, but I’ve looked at enough outfits to know the difference in the slightest bit of tones. If that is her skin, then two issues. 1) bra. Simple as that. 2) tan lines from her music videos.

I don’t like Katy Perry much but I agree with this post… but Katy Perry having small breasts? She’s at least a D.

I think the whole reason why parents didnt want their children seeing this was not because children are perverted and have dirty minds, its because children are influenced by what they see on tv, and if they see someone who is showing off their chest or whatever, they are going to want to do it as well and think that it is OK to dress that way. I don’t think it has anything to do with mom’s being insecure about themselves and being jealous of katy perry…? That makes no sense.

Love it!

like the kids have never seen breasts before…

I couldn’t have said it better myself. What they wear in some Disney movies is worse than that dress. The little mermaid was wearing less than Katy Perry and you don’t see parents complaining about that!

lol, I don’t think she has small boobs

katy perry does not have small boobs.

katy perry’s huge tits are not completely inside what she is wearing because they are bouncing everywhere and I can very clearly see them overflowing around that little top in the picture you posted

in any case her tits still dont belong on sesame street, they belong in those mags that guys jack off too and leave on top of the toilet. . .good for her idc.

i wouldn’t tottally care if my kid saw it. she wasn’t ACTING sexual she wasn’t humping elmo. Kids see that much cleavage at the pool in summer and on tv period. So whatever.

and seriously, kids will have seen far worse anyway, i mean breast feeding?  

I <3 katy perry these days

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - really? So me somehow weighing 500 pounds is referenced in the post? Maybe i happened to write this from an unbiased point of view. I don’t know much about Katy Perry, i don’t follow her closely & consequently i don’t know her bra size. From the video i saw with her on sesame street her breasts looked rather small. But go ahead & keep trolling because your nasty little comments will definitely get you somewhere. =]

People dont care about the size of her breasts or the fact that there was flesh colored mesh going up to her neck. The fact is, she was going to a childrens tv show and that outfit was not acceptable. Miss Piggy is a puppet! she is not a person that children could one day look up to. if the dress wasnt as low-cut there would have been no problem.

@kaira85@xanga - dude seriously? Kids don’t even dress themselves until they get to a certain age, not to mention parents buy all the clothes for them. If the kid is for some stupid reason dressing slutty, it’s not because Katy Perry did it, it’s because their parents let them dress that way. Honestly, people need to take some responsibility.

@kaira85@xanga - It’s true. 

@ever92 - Agreed, completely.

Children are influenced by media and especially t.v and stars. I think what she wore was inappropriate. Kids are very impressionable and I would know because I helped raised my little brother, whom is 10 years younger than myself. We have enough of this acceptance, just because everyone is doing this..then it must be right mentality. We need to stop this. Just because everyone dresses like that..shouldn’t mean we keep thinking it’s right. Miss Perry needs some tact in her dressing. All your points are completely irrelevant and don’t go anywhere. You miss the point exactly. 

agree;d

Sorry, I couldn’t get past the “Katy Perry is a fairly small breasted woman.”

I agree with the OP. I personally don’t want my kids to look at breasts as primarily sexual objects. I nursed them both, so they’ve been around boobs without the stigma.

My three-year-old son loves the Katy Perry Sesame Street clip. His response to it wasn’t “Mommy! Her boobies are showing!” (And he’s at the age where he NOTICES and wants to talk about body parts.) It was, “Why doesn’t Elmo want to play dress up with Miss Katy? I think she’s sad.”
It’s just not really an issue for us. Apparently the wardrobe dept. at Sesame Street didn’t see an issue either. The producer was on the Today Show & she basically said they’ll pull anything that anyone complains about because they don’t want to alienate anyone. 

AS A MOTHER THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!! I have small breasts and I cover them quite well. You obviously have never been around a small child. They do notice things. And ask “what are those?” Stupid post — You are obviously not a parent nor spent much time with children

@youreMINEalways@xanga - lots of parents care

@KickingSheep@xanga -  im pretty sure the show would have chosen her outfit :S

I agree, kids don’t know what clevage is and if they do and still watch Sesame Street well you have bigger problems then Katy Perry’s boobs.

i’m prettier & skinnier than her, and i’m pretty sure everyone is more talented.

i’m pretty sure parents were trying to protect their child’s innocence, not selfishly thinking about their own bodies.  

kids aren’t perverted but they can differentiate between what’s risque and what’s not.  
@JoyElizabeth82@xanga - @rabbitsarecool14@xanga - completely agree with you on that one!

@goalfor6@xanga - yes.  that is exactly what i said.  parents care when their children have sexuality thrown in their face.  i was just trying to say that i wasn’t extremely riled up about it.  (but i probably would have been if i had a two year old at home watching it)  

I totally agree and i doubt they get to pick their own costumes. I’m pretty sure that her outfit was probably made just for her when she went on the show.

I think people got their panties all in a bunch over a silly situation.  She’s usually way more revealing.  Besides, any young child who watches that will be more interested in Elmo!  Elmo steals the show, not her breasts.

I’m a parent and I think she could’ve worn something different and more covering. I get that she’s an entertainer and she normally wears risque’ clothing in her videos or in award shows…but this is a kid’s show. The little girls and boys watching this show shouldn’t have to think this is the standard of how women should dress. I’ve seen her in just t-shirts and pants when she’s not working. Couldn’t she have worn something a little more decent? Also, Katy Perry doesn’t have small boobs. This outfit kind of makes it look like it, but she doesn’t. She’s at least a D or DD cup.

@goalfor6@xanga - Agreed

1) You can’t really compare Katy Perry to Miss Piggy. Miss Piggy is not a human being… she’s a puppet.

2) I think it’s a little silly of you to assume that the reason people are upset is because of their lack of self-esteem.

3) The real issue here isn’t the boobs, I’m pretty sure it’s the lack of judgment. While the boobs might not scar the children for life, it just isn’t necessary. Seasame Street reaches a wide audience, including many conservative families… they should have known that the low-cut dress was a bad idea. Sometimes you have to be careful, simply because of the audience. I’m surprised no one stopped Katy before the filming began.

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - It’s apparent your twinkies have gotten you something bigger than a D so I’m starting to think I should take your advice.

@JoyElizabeth82@xanga - I totally agree with this. Very well said!

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - LMAO.  I thought the same.

@Tinaka@xanga - Then they should have known to cover up her ta-tas. lol geeze

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - lol actually i hate twinkies & i’m in a comfortable c, but if it makes you feel better about yourself to assume stupid things about me, go ahead.

@goalfor6@xanga - lol you think? Funny how i raised two kids all by myself who aren’t sick & twisted even though i don’t shelter them.

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - It has nothing to do with being sick and twisted. Children are curious. I’m guessing you must’ve had girls or you didn’t pay much attention?

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - well if you’re a fatty with only Cs I’m definitely not taking your advice.

@PseudoEuphoric@xanga - LOVE YOUR REPLY TO THIS!!

@Masked_Melody@xanga@k_cakes@xanga - - i said some people are only pissed because of self esteem issues. Because there are women out there who simply hate her because some people love her. But again, this was only one of my reason, only one part of the article. Lol jesus, can’t people read anymore?

@goalfor6@xanga - nope, wrong again. Boy & girl & if i didn’t pay attention obviously they wouldn’t be well adjusted. Yes, kids are curious. Maybe they just want to know the name of what they’ve been sucking on since birth.

You’re right. Katy Perry’s breasts have been overanalyzed!  They are very cute.

As an adult, I think she’s a little goofey. Butas a parent of a young kid, I think she — as a celebrity — not her boobs, are  simply  inappropriate entertainment.

If it was her outfit, young Xangans,  they would have just re-shot the video (duh)…”let’s go all the way tonight!”  ….”you’re hot and you’re cold, your IN and your OUT,” you’re UP and you’re DOWN”

The objection is not Katy’s breasts, but her lyrics, kidddoos!  SS changed the lyrics for the video, but her body of work is still not what we want our kids to listen to!

So go ahead and actually listen to  Katy Perry’s songs? Now how does her message compare to other recent guests on the show, such as

Michelle Obama

and

Whoopie Goldberg

or

Barbara Bush

 or

Cameron Diaz

But don’t worry!!!!   In the wake of Elmo’s terrible betrayal, the Simpsons have  announced they stand felt-shoulder-to-shoulder with Katy Perry.” Perry will play Moe’s girlfriend in the episode titled The Fight Before Christmas, which airs in the US on December 5.!!!!

you said MOST not some.  but i don’t see how the difference whether you said all, some, or most, is relevant to my previous comment.

i guess i should i revise my comment.  it should say: i’m pretty sure MOST parents were trying to protect their children.

I have seen worse on billboards.

Parents should just calm down. Turn off the TV and make the kids go for a run outside if they don’t want their kids to get corrupted because of whatever they see on TV.

It just isn’t an acceptable thing to do. Sesame street should be a safe show for children to watch, and parents shouldn’t even have to worry about people dressing “sexy” on there. It should not be an issue. My 3 year old daughter watches Sesame Street, and with all the other shows with provocatively dressed women out there, Sesame Street should be a show where worrying about these types of things doesn’t happen. It’s just not acceptable for a children’s show. Sorry.

Katy Perry is a fairly small breasted woman: She doesn’t have the biggest breasts, they’re pretty average really. Don’t know her real size (probably a C or a D) but put an average size ‘C’ in a ‘A’ cup dress and it’ll look HUGE. Not to mention she could be using push up pads in her otherwise ‘well fitted’ dress which make her boobs pop out.

Kids do not have disgusting minds. But adults have self esteem issues: Really? I crown you a fucking moron for this one. You’re like those 10 year olds ‘YOU DON’T LIKE MILEY CYRUS BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS’. I’m pretty sure that an ADULT woman with kids has better things to do with her life than being jealous of someone who has a ‘good’ body and ‘big’ boobs. Seriously.. girls might struggle with those issues as teenagers but once you’re a mom.. c’mon.. I’m pretty sure your baby, husband and job take priority to looking like a model and by the time you hit adult hood (might be another millennium for you my dear) you’ll realize that it’s easy having a great body and that the true happiness comes from your kids and loverrr. Real ‘Adults’ do not have self esteem issues, silly little stupid girls and boys have self esteem issues. Jealousy is not half as unattractive as stupidity so fix yourself darling before you write another lame blog and come of as an inbred mongrel.

If you’re really genuinely concerned for your children’s minds and it has nothing to do with insecurity or hating Katy Perry, let me tell you something. From baby years to thirteen years old, I used to go to a nudist camp: I don’t think parents care about that. You went to a nudist camp? GOODY FOR YOU! your parents must be just ‘GREAT’. However, MOST normal parents do not want nudity or anything ‘sexual’ displayed infront of their children. I know I wouldn’t if i had kids. Kids might not think pervy but is that enough reason to show them slutty girls like katy perry? By that logic let’s turn on porn for a 3 year old, they don’t know what sex is anyways right Doesn’t work that way now does it? Katys boobs might not be as bad as porn, but they’re still pretty pervy for kids. Good for you that you didn’t start thinking boobs are ‘hot’ because you walked around naked with other morons, but this is a kids show, is it weird that parents complained because they saw a slut on their screen? No. They complained with good reason, if they didn’t have a good reason the show wouldn’t have been canceled.

I suggest you throw your TV out, though, because there’s a lot worse out there than Katy Perry in a dress: EXACTLY there is SO much crap on tv, all about sex, drugs and alcohol nowadays. You can’t even turn on mtv for a 13 year old without it asking ‘mommy why is that woman humping that other woman?‘ Let’s AT LEAST keep the kid shows slut free mkay? Mkay.. We already lost Disney to the likes of miley and vanessa whoring it up. No need for that kind of sluts on sesame street. It’s hard enough for parents to keep their kids save from perversion, they can throw out the tv, or kids shows can just say clean so that the KIDS can watch those shows. Isn’t that why it’s a kids show? Don’t the little ones aging 6 and above also deserve a bit of cartoon and fun shows on tv? They do, it’s moron hippies like you that are the cause of so much perversion to begin with. ‘Oh who cares about katy perrys boobs on sesame street, freedom! kids aren’t perverted, mommys are jealous. LETS PUSH BOUNDARIES UNTIL THERE ARE NO MORE BOUNDARIES‘. Honestly, did you even read what you wrote down? It’s unbelievable so much stupidity can come from one person xD

I’m pretty sure we all love ourselves. Why don’t you just get your head out of katy perrys ass and realize she made a mistake by dressing like a 2 dollar whore on a kids show? Oh and find some other argument besides ‘jealousy’ for this, because i’m a 100% sure that NONE of the mothers or fathers were jealous of katy perry, they just didn’t want their kid seeing sluts. Maybe it’s katy perry who’s insecure because she has no talent and the only reason she became famous was a one-hit wonder singing about kissing girls? Now she has to dress like a hooker for the rest of her career and be looked at as a slut rather than a deep-minded talented woman? Ask ANY person about katy perry, the only reply you’ll get it ‘she’s hot, i’d fuck her’. I’ve NEVER heard anyone say they like her for her songs. And maybe, the likes of you stick up for katy perry because you’re insecure too, that is why you’d rather be on her side than against her. I personally got nothing against katy, she’s talentless and overrated but hey so many singers are in hollywood, if she had just put on a tshirt or a normal dress it would have been a great show for the little ones. She should have used her brains.

@Donutism@xanga - Or… how bout keeping a KIDS show slut free? Parents can turn of the tv if they zap onto MTV or some other show they don’t want to see. But when parents zap to a kids chancel there should be a certain level of decency. That is why it is called a KIDS show, generally it is assumed a kids show is free of sex, sluts, drugs, alcohol, humping, cursing, boobs, penises, vaginas and all that shit.

Just because you’re a hormonal teenager doesn’t mean the rest of the world wants to see boobs on a kids show, nor does it mean that parents or even rather conservative people don’t deserve to have a few shows on tv that doesn’t include sluts. Get it? No? Go back to school

I think its great that Katy Perry is on there, she’s uber famous and could be doing other things and yet she chooses to be on a kids show

Also, I’m pretty sure she didn’t choose her own attire. Thats usually left to the people running the show, yes?

Katy Perry small breasted? Er, no.

@novalidation@xanga - Wow, or maybe you need to calm down and not attack random people. What did @Donutism@xanga say to you to deserve your insults?

How many of you who are actually saying this are parents with children?

 One parent wrote in that their son got a boner from watching the katy pery video with elmo. What does that mean?

 All sesame s treet cares about is pleasing the parents, and thats what happened, what, do you think sesame street should have ignored the parents? no, because that wouldn’t be right either.arguing about this is stupid. some people like seeing boobs, some don’t, theres nothing wrong with sesame street complying with the parents that they cater to.

I don’t hate katy perry by the way. I’m not taking sides.

I completely agree with you. But since parents and other people, are putting the blame totally on her, I’d just like to point out that the producers should have known that her outfit was going to bring up complaints, and therefore, they should have asked her to change her outfit, or at least given her some more ‘kid friendly’ clothing options.

As a parent and someone working to become a childcare provider, I disagree. Her outfit was totally inappropriate regardless of whether or not kid’s have sick perverted minds like adults. If I walked into a daycare dressed like she was on the show I’d be fired. Do I blame her for it? No absolutely not. Who ever does/did her wardrobe is at fault. They should have had the common sense not to put her in that.

you know the dressers at sesame street should have seen the problem and fixed it before they sent her to taping.  then that whole mess could have been avoided.

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - That’s exactly what I’m saying and you’re trying to act like children are sick. 

@Mourningstar172@xanga - I am a parent and can’t believe this! I’m just glad my twin 4 year olds were not watching. Media just tries to shove their own liberal views and ideas down children’s faces it’s just sickening. Her outfit was so inappropriate for a child’s show. But “showbiz” no longer cares about morals you can see it on Nickelodeon everyday. Makes me so happy for noggin and PBS kids the only two channels (that I know of) that actually have kid friendly cartoons

@goalfor6@xanga - lol omg.. i’m the one who said in the first place that kids aren’t sick & twisted! You really are a moron, aren’t you?

small breasts??? are you BLIND

I still think its a little weird that they had her wear the dress in the first place.  However, I totally agree with you.  Children are innocent and they only read into things when we teach them to read into things.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Seriously. How the hell is she small breasted? You’re insane, OP.

@goalfor6@xanga - I can honestly say I feel bad for your children and how shocked they’ll be when they see the real world and you can’t shelter them anymore.  Whats sickening is not the media, but your reaction to it.  So maybe you find some of the things on TV inappropriate, but stop your obnoxious whining.  How about you go ahead and be a good parent by letting your kids watch these things but if you disagree with something, sit down and talk to you kids about it.  Discuss what a character did but what they SHOULD have done.  Instead of trusting noggin and PBS to raise your children for you, you might as well let them watch other kids shows and get involved yourself.  Slide a little bit of mom/kid dad/kid time into their TV marathon.

erm @ the first point…

her tits are NOT small… omg.

Amazing post.  I totally agree.

@Art_Is_War423@xanga - Hilariously enough, I responded to multiple accusations in your article. And yet you only responded to one part of my response. Yes, I did read your whole freaking blog. Apparently you didn’t read my whole comment. Can’t you read, dear? 

so much love.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - @CelestDiggory@xanga - I have my own beef with Katy Perry, but this isn’t one of the reasons I dislike her.

This is Sesame Street not MTV -.-”

@novalidation@xanga - Katy Perry is not a slut, niether is Miley. You saying that just shows how much contempt you put into your post instead of actual thought. I don’t even like Miley but I will not allow you to sling names willy-nilly. Also I like Katy Perry’s music. I’m a music buff and I wouldn’t like anyone without talent. As a singer myself, I can tell you she has honest talent. Also, it sounds like mud-slinging if you look at the meat of your reply. Your main arguement is calling people sluts. Your arguement is even worse because the ladies you are reffering to have never had any scandle at all much less one regarding their sex lives.

To the writer,

I do not agree with all of your points but the main focus of the piece is correct. There is nothing wrong with Katy’s outfit. Children see worse than that everyday and no one complains about the underwear styled bikinis at the beach or water park. Honestly, I would be more worried about the women intentionally exposing the majority of their bodies where children are bound to be. Any mother who has worn a bikini outside has no right to argue.

P.S. In this particular outfit her breasts do look smaller. Also, I noticed that no one else has taken into consideration that this was done on purpose to make the outfit somewhat more kid-friendly.

lo I agree. but, not only that but there are plenty of other characters who dresses more provocative than she does.  And there has been no complaints about it!  For instance,  little mermaid (just a shell bra! and only a piece of ship sailing cloth to cover her when she came on shore NAKED) and belle from beauty and the beast where’s this absolutely beautiful golden gown but her top and cleavage is exposed, and they dress like that in disney world.  Then there is jasmine with her blue outfit where she wears that puffy parachute-like pants and somewhat bra/tanktoppy kinda wrap on top.  So disney characters def would consider “inappropriate” if people thought Katy was. *I mean there was a rumour once of a penis drawn in the little mermaid.*  lol, and you got the whole little ms. piggy thing right. She was made to be the overly mature piggy mistress.

Also, if you go outside and just walk on the street, you’ll see plenty of people dressed WAY WORSE than how Katy did. : )

yea but it would have been so easy to wear something that wasnt that skanky. 

@MyTwistedWords@xanga - My children are not sheltered you idiot. I sit down and talk with my kids — unlike most parents who love just shoving their children off on someone else I actually take care of my children. So shut your mouth. I pray you never have children you liberal prick!!!!!!!!

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga -  Honestly, attacking people on a post they have written and have made one mistake is no reason for the insults, k sweetie?

So grow up a little bit, and do us all a favor. Thank you. :]

This post is AWESOME.
Um, isn’t Sesame Street aimed at 3-6 year old children?
If I were a 3-6 year old child now, and I saw this episode, my first thoughts would NOT be
“Good Lord! Mother, come quick! Change the channel immediately and remove these boobs from my eyes! Katy Perry’s outfit is far too revealing! I can see that she has breasts! Just like you do, and grandma does, and my teacher does…everyone has breasts! But because she is standing next to Elmo, breasts are disgusting! My young brain is slowly becoming warped and negatively affected by her outfit!”
I would probably be thinking “YAY ELMO & LADY WITH PRETTY BLACK HAIR!”

Kid’s dont care about stuff like this. It doesn’t phase them.
I 100% agree with the insecurity issues. You take your children out to the mall, or public pools, or the beach, you see hundreds upon hundreds of women wearing shirts with cleavage.
But because ELMO is on the screen, breasts, which are a beautiful and natural part of a womans body, are just AWFUL!

katy perry is definitely not a “fairly small breasted woman”……

WHAT Katy Perry are you looking at? I’ve seen bikini pics and her boobs are huge.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - LOL.

@LiexTo_Mex@xanga - Quiet youngen’. But you’re right, I am sweet.

@KickingSheep@xanga - what about everyone at sesame street that filmed it and was okay with it?  why is it her fault, as opposed to everyone there who saw her like that before it was filmed?  plus why do you think she picked out that costume?  i didn’t think that celebs picked out their own costumes for tv shows and movies…

@cheesecakeloverk@xanga - YES ANOTHER REPLY TO TELL ME HOW WRONG I AM! SCOOOOOOORE! Look, get in line. lol

You’re not the first to reply saying she didn’t pick it, but maybe if enough people tell me that, I’ll start to believe.
But really, SOME ONE SOME WHERE should have thought “Whoa, this is going to stir some shit, put a shirt on her.” Ok. That better? 
Once again, thank you for telling me I’m wrong, which i am OK with.
Opinions are like butt holes, every one has one, and they all stink, it’s life.

Pardon me, but I tutor children between the ages of 6 and 8 and they are obsessed with breasts. I’ve learned to not wear low-cut shirts around the two little girls whose reading lessons I teach because they will giggle and try to look down the front. If it’s not breasts then it’s pooping, peeing and farting…. such topics hold endless treasures of amusement for them. For little boys it’s even worse and as a teacher you just grow immune to the constant giggling over these subjects of conversation. Whether sesame street was right to censor Katy Perry is still open to debate but don’t pretend that six-year-olds of either gender lack the capacity to snicker over boobies.

Well done. ^^

But she’s not that small breasted, now, is she…?

I agree with you for the most part on everything but this:
“Katy Perry is a fairly small breasted woman.”
Last time I checked, breasts like those are considered somewhat large, not fairly small XD

This is retarded. Not a big fan of Lovelyish anyway, but this is just one more post that had me shaking my head.

I watched the clip when it first aired on YouTube, and it’s pretty much terrible, She’s playing dress-up, and running around chasing Elmo. Okay, no big deal. 
But…what is she dressed-up as? Herself? Kids are supposed to relate to this stuff. What child has a low-cut dress that barely covers their breasts and shows off most of their thighs? No, there’s NOTHING sexual about a child, but there is about Katy Perry. I don’t think she should have been on the show to begin with- but why couldn’t she be dressed-up as, I don’t know, a cowgirl in jeans and a vest and boots? Or a fire-woman? Or a pioneer? All of which would be relatable or informative, and still would have been conservative enough that she show could have been aired. 

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Mwahahahahaha! 

I agree with you so much it’s ridiculous. Hahaha.

They be trollin

I agree with this post, except I don’t consider Katy Perry small-breasted

I wouldn’t show up to babysit at someone’s home with a top that appeared to be corset/lingerie inspired, even if it would be fine for a nightclub.

Similar principle. I’m not sure why the director or wardrobe person didn’t select a more job-appropriate outfit.

Amazing post (:

The heck with katy perry’s breasts! I’ve said all I want to say about her, lol. More interestingly, I’d like to hear about life as a kid among nudists (any posts of yours in particular you might send me links to ?)

btw everyone, the Simpsons is coming to the rescue!!!  

Katy Perry will be better cast  guest starring as herself on a far more appropriate show — the Simpsons. She’ll be playing Moe’s boyfriend and most likely will be wearing something incredibly inappropriate (who knows, maybe she’ll wear a cloud, ha ha).   The show is to air December  5.  Can’t wait.  She’s cute all over, especially her breasts.

yeah…kids are gonna see boobs regardless…

just look around you

its true, kids arent perverted but they do dress up like people they like and see on TV. If they like Katy Perry and after seeing her on Sesame Street they dress like her… Look at it, there’s 2 triangles covering the boobies!  I wouldnt want my child to do that at ages 2-8. Would you?

I don’t see an issue really with the outfit. But I do have to say this: why is it that women with small breasts, as you say she has, are allowed to have them popping out, but women with large breasts aren’t? To me, breasts are breasts.

i kinda agree

Who cares? She wasn’t naked, so what’s the problem? I didn’t notice titties until I hit puberty. 

ERROR: Katy Perry is NOT small breasted compared to the average ‘small breasted’ woman. Nonetheless… I love her breast, but yeah… maybe only in her videos and not on Sesame Street.
