In today's Home Planet, I got on my soapbox.

I have three daughters and I get so frustrated by the choices when I shop for them.
It's especially troubling to see what's out there for my 11-year-old.

I've gotten quite a few calls about the column. Turns out I'm not the only grumpy mom. I heard from other frustrated parents and grandparents.

Here's a letter from a father and grandfather who isn't happy with the state of fashion, but doesn't want to hurt any feelings:

Excellent column today. The widespread mimic of the two-dollar hooker "look" has been vexing many of us. The acceptance of that look by parents and young girls alike is sad. Unfortunately, those of us who are grandparents must bring full concentration to the situation in order to keep out mouths shut and not offend those we love. Thank you for your piece. I wish it could have been front page.
