This is what passes for scandalous attire at BYU.

No technical about it. Those are boot cut jeans.

Fashion police should at least be required to know fashion.

But, then, we knew all along that it was really the curves that were the problem.

Ms Jack. That is the best Mormonad I've ever seen! Thank you.



I'm going to head over to Deseret Book today and buy one for my daughter! :)

What's wrong with that poster is that it should say "tell" instead of "ask". There is no "ask" in what our leaders say.

The church's emphasis on modesty reminds me of this old Onion story.
