Don't visit your Alma Mater dressed like a ho.
Excuse me girls, but wearing revealing clothes when you visit your former educational institution is highly inappropriate! You are not at the beach, and no one wants to see your bare legs up to "there!!" I happened to be at the gate when the guests were leaving and gently suggested that ragged short shorts and tattered micro skirts might not be a good idea when visiting their former teachers. It is just plain inappropriate, disrespectful and ignorant, and it gets my goat when everyone in the teachers' room just gives them a big smile and says, "Welcome Back!" Well, at least when their picture was being taken with a male teacher the camerawoman mentioned that the was going to "leave out their feet." I hope that the feet part included up to their waists.
Muhammed Ali's advice to his daughters...
An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters: “When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.”
He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”
