Pop Divas Get Nekkid

Is it just me or are female pop singers wearing less and less clothing and showing more and more of their bods? It began with Mariah Carey. Jennifer Lopez followed suit. Alliyah soon joined the bare-almost-everything bunch. And Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are hot on their heels. Hmmm…I sense a pattern here.

I bet there are hordes of people out there wishing that this race to be the raciest will never reach the finish line. They're loving seeing plump breasts popping out of skimpy tops, well-endowed butts hugged by skin-tight pants, butt cracks revealed by very low-cut leather pants, and tantalizing groin areas peeping out of see-through bottoms. A-woooo!!

There is a downside to all this body-bearing, however. Lately, wearing revealing clothing hasn't just been restricted to famous crooners. The trend has reached youngsters, too. We're talking eight to fourteen year-olds. We're seeing young kids who still need mid-day naps and who still can't pronounce their r's and s's straight, wearing half-tops and spandex, make-up, and heels. It's getting creepy. And it doesn't stop there. The um, older crowd has taken to the semi-nudity fad, too! As in Grandma prancing around in bra tops and butt-hugger shorts! Aaaaaah!! Just use 'em apples to bake some pie, Granny!

I don't think it's just the clothing of the pop divas that's influencing the wardrobe choice of the female population lately. I bet the overtly sexual lyrics of their songs are making girls and women (and grandmas!!) everywhere hot to trot. For example, Mariah Carey's Honey is not talking about the food made by the honeybees, I tell you. And Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time? I don't think it's about playing blackjack. And let's not forget Christina Aguilera's Genie In A Bottle. Let's just say that it's not the genie's bottle that needs rubbing. Whatever happened to good ol' nursery rhymes, simple ABC's, and mushy romantic ballads? Sigh.

I remember a time when a petite little lady started singing, dancing, and moaning about sex and touching herself and was spanked for it. Her name is Madonna. But now, man, oh, man, sex is selling like porn in a prison. All of a sudden, sex is good and innocent is plain blah.

There could be a simple explanation for this unexpected turn of events. Maybe the human race is hearing the age-old call of its primitiveness. We were born nekkid, right? So it could very well be that we are once again embracing Mother Nature and shedding all inhibition and shame, right along with the clothes. You Adam. Me Eve. Nekkid good. Clothed bad.

Now let's talk about sex, baby. When cavemen and cavewomen were done hunting, gathering, eating, and hitting each other with clubs, what do you think they did to pass the time? That's right. They hit it some more. But in another way. They did the kinky. It's all instinct, you see. When the mating call sounds and the pheromones and hormones start raging, we're all just animals, really. Oogah, oogah!

So maybe Mariah, Jennifer, Alliyah, Britney, and Christina are one step ahead of all of us in the race back to Mother Nature. They've learned that it's much more comfortable to expose their butt cracks and groins than to cover them up. They've rid themselves of the heavy burden of threads and are frolicking free, jiggling all the way. Is the rest of the world going to follow suit? I guess we'll just have to keep our pants on and wait. In the meantime, it sure is fun watching them get down to the bare essentials!
