The Way Women Dress on TV

I also think a lot of women in business now look like street whores but I blame programmes like "The Apprentice" for that. You can dress for business in a feminine way without having a skirt halfway up your backside or your nipples showing.

When I got my first office job (civil service age 16) I wore my school skirt and blouse for the first week until I got some wages to buy suitable clothes. There was a strict dress code then about no low, strappy or transparent tops.

I am probably being old fashioned here but feel free to disagree with me but I'm noticing more and more women showing a lot of cleavage on tv nowadays. People will say "If you've got it flaunt it" but there's a time and a place. One woman who presents programmes from a lot of different countries always has low cut tops on and goes to Muslim countries which seems quite inappropriate to me.
The thing that has topped all this is watching Eastenders tonight where the character Amy Mitchell who portrays a 14 year old schoolgirl was sat in the pub in a low cut top showing all her cleavage. I found it quite wrong to dress a schoolgirl like this even if it is a soap. I know times change and girls like their fashions. What do you think?
