A Little Mix up

Little Mix have got themselves into a bit of bother recently while on tour due to their outfits on stage.

Parents and concert goers have blasted the sexy outfits raging about them all over the internet.

While I agree the outfits leave little to the imagination, what do fans and parents want to see Little Mix dressed up in, T-shirt and jeans?

Perrie defended their choice of clothing and said: ‘We put on such a big show and there’s a lot of dancing and it gets really hot out there.

‘I like to feel free and have something I can move around in.’

I can understand both sides of the argument, the critical parent in me is screaming at them to put some more clothes on, and the other more understanding part of me agrees with Perrie’s explanation.

As parents we have to explain a lot of things to our children and that is exactly what needs to happen in this situation.

We need our children to understand they are performers, they do not go around in their everyday lives dressed in these costumes.

While Little Mix have a lot of young impressionable female fans, as long as they understand that the clothes they are wearing are so they can jump around on stage and show off their dance moves and not what they would wear wandering down the street then where is the harm in what they wear?

We are all too quick to slam each other but when was the last time you saw a young girl group parading around the stage all night in tracksuits?

Flipping the coin, maybe the outfits don’t need so many bits cut out of them and they could show a tad less flesh, but I don’t feel the need to send my daughter to a convent because she has seen a bit of leg.

If she asks me why they are wearing clothes like that, I will just explain to her that is what they wear on stage while they are singing and dancing so they can move around and not get too hot. Then I imagine she will go back to playing with her Barbie’s without giving it a second thought.

As usual, it is just something else that has been blown out of proportion.

What do you think?
