This is the final post of my three part exposé on modesty in
dressing.
In the ancient Biblical era, people who made idols were very
wealthy. They hand crafted the false deities that common people loved to set up
in their homes. Nowadays, apart from in certain religions (e.g. Sikhism,
Hinduism) physical statues are not so much the gods adored. Today’s ‘idol
makers’ are the Simon Cowells' and Russell Simmons’ of this world. Music moguls
who find and make the icons celebrated, followed and looked up to the
world over. The huge U.S show touted to find the next big pop music star is
even called ‘American Idol.’
Every now and then while perusing clothing sites as research
for a burgeoning fashion business, I will come across pictures of celebrities
dressed nicely. It is not often that celebs choose to look modest when they
dress up to appear at events. The name of the game is grabbing attention and I
guess it is felt being covered up doesn’t really assist to that end. However,
when I do see it I always notice and think what a great thing it would be if
these people so many in the world unfortunately look up to, exemplified good
standards. The young women and men of today who idolize them would dress and
think very differently.
Truly the point of an idol is to lead people away from
Godliness. So it is expected that celebs dressing modestly will always be the
exception, not the rule. However, here is a showing of some of them on rare
occasions they’ve done so to show how pleasant it is when it does happen...
