LOLITAS. A disturbing article (with photos) about a dreadful trend: Little girls who are obsessed with improving their looks. Nothing wrong with adding a little flair to your appearance but when young teens dream of growing up to be "topless dancers," the Republic is in crisis.

In the circles in which I travel, I meet girls and teenagers who prefer modest dress, are smart, and prize character. It's a shame they don't merit a high-profile photo exhibit. I need to write an article about this counterculture, but it will likely be an 'unsexy' read. Sigh.
