Showing legs for charity

When I was at one of the two teenie weenie malls here today, I saw these heavily made-up girls wearing nylon stockings and red sweaters, asking for donations to some charity. Actually whether or not they were asking for donations is debatable, since they seemed more engrossed in gossip than charity. No doubt for them this was more about dressing sexy and getting a lot attention than collecting money for charity. I can't blame them. In this town one has to grab whatever opportunity comes along.
Is it me, or does it seem inappropriate to dress up some girls like skanks and let them parade around the mall? Why do they have to dress like skanks? Will people donate more then? If that's the case, there's something terribly wrong here. Do people need to some and makeup before they give money to charity? Is that how evolved our society is?
I suppose so. Screw women's lib, right?

P.S. I hate this town sometimes. I truly do. I wish I could pack up my parents and my belongings and leave. I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I will always have my roots here and I love its nature and clean air but if it wasn't for my folks living here I would leave and not come back.
