Talking about tznius fashion and magazines. My sons started a magazine in our neighborhood. You can’t even imagine the ads the frum clothing stores sent over to put into the magazine. My son had to photoshop the ads to build up the necklines and lengthen the skirts and sleeves in order to make it kosher enough to not offend anyone. Now our magazine does not have any divrei torah or articles from Rabbonim, it is strictly for fashion and yet WE fixed everything to be tznius and not offend anyone. These same ads went in “as is” to all the other frum media outlets.
No one complains about the ads, and the papers and magazines carry them week after week along with the stories of the parsha, midah of the month, etc. Money is money after all. And no one boycotts these papers either, they run to buy them, read them and advertise in them. If the very famous, hi class and fashionable stores in BP and Flatbush, advertise short skirts, short sleeves and tight clothing right in the top media outlets right next to a column from a prominent Rabbi, what message does that send? Stop blaming the young girls!
