You mean the way this elderly commenter started my derogatory comment with, "I'm no prude, but....."?
Yeah, I'm really not a prude whether you believe it or not, and I'm also not old and I just didn't think the costume was appropriate. To me, it took it too far. It was literally underwear. Mathman compared it to burlesque but
I've seen burlesque (last summer alone I probably saw 4 different burlesque shows, I really am no prude) and what they did and her costume had no real relation to that IMO. In terms of vibe Burlesque is about the tease. There was no tease. But most importantly, no one in their right mind would take their kids to see burlesque. Indeed, when I go to see it, there are NO kids there and most adults there are quite plainly in their mid to late 20s at a minimum. Like it or not Dancing is on prime time TV and bills itself as a family show. In some parts of the country, it starts at 7pm, a time when kids (even young ones) are quite likely to still be awake. I think that costumes like that have a time and place, and I've seen women performers with way less on at the right time and place and it bothered me ZERO.
On a separate note I just found her costume to be very loud and tacky and wouldn't have loved it even on a burlesque dancer. However, on a burlesque dancer I would not say it was inappropriate.
