I rated one for "skanky"
the one with "bebe" written on her butt. Sorry, if you advertise yourself as a skank, you're a skank.

By Cali standards...
Pretty tame. I was expecting full-blown boobage and 3 inch skirts. Definite lack of taste in some cases, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't make someone a whore...

Good thing they put those black bars over their eyes
Because otherwise, I might have recognized my niece in that one.
Oh, wait..

Why is it?
That the Latina and Black women have more skanky votes than a white woman wearing something nearly identical. One of the pictures is of a young-ish looking girl waiting to cross the street. She's wearing a t-shirt and jeans and has a rather large "skank" rating...something smells fishy about this poll.

Skanky is as skanky does...
and as my old granny used to say, you can't judge a book by its cover... well, sometimes you can in egregious cases like Ms. P. Hilton. But skankitude transcends clothing choices.

gay eurotrash mannequins
My favorite is this one: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/ViewSection.do?sectionId=features&fileName=607.sos.13
Yes, we're asked to judge whether a mannequin is sexy or skanky. (Skanky, obv.)
The best part? The thing's eyes are blocked out, so as to make her unidentifiable.
On a slightly different topic, Ms. Price complained that "There's no equivalent quiz featuring men.". This reminds me of an old, similar game: Gay or Eurotrash, which is just what it sounds like: you look at pictures of men, and categorize them. So the male version significantly predates the female one. Not to mention hotornot.com, of which this is but a pale shadow.

Eh
This is the time of year I, as a person who works in HR, need to start having talks with all the girls about what’s appropriate office attire in the summer months. In my experience woman just get excited at the end of a long winter and all of a sudden they’re walking around like they’re going to the beach (only it’s still cold out so I get to see their nipples all day).
It’s easy to tell a person you can’t wear a skirt above a certain length – it’s much harder to tell someone that if they want to wear flip-flops their feet need to be clean and neat. Like the woman in front of you whose underwear is clearly visible this sort of ‘mid-town skank’ can be difficult to know how to approach. You want to warn her but you don’t want to be an ass about it either.
Frankly, if ‘Time Out’ can mock these girls into buying a few slips and covering up those bellies I’m all for it.
And about guys? With ‘no shorts’ being a common dress code it’s just harder for the guys to show as much skin as a woman can. When the guys get mocked (and Detail’s will do it) it will be for wearing loafers without socks or flipping up their jacket collar and looking like a tool.

Why?
BearHoney,
Did you even look at the survey before you started inventing racial issues? There was only one African American woman, and she was wearing a black leather mini-skirt with high heels. Black leather and high heels? Pretty skanky. None of the whites or latinas were wearing black leather and high heels. Plus the sexiest one with the highest sexy rating (80%/349 votes) was the hot latina with the red dress and flip-flops. Maybe the only racist person involved in this is you?

I'm in favor of.....
MODESTY. A smoking hot young woman is smoking hot in anything she wears. I won't go to that online quiz. I guess I'm above it. Funny thing is, in my experience, it's not guys that label women as 'skanky,' it's other women.

Sexy and Skanky are kissin' cousins.
What differentiates these cousins is their fuckability quotient. Sexy sleeps with privileged men. Skanky sleeps with men, women, and puppies. Even small appliances can reach first base with Skanky. Sexy suggests. Skanky reveals. But they're bound by blood and other bodily fluids. They're both variants of women-as-the-sexy-gender. *
* For 20 years and then they're thrown on the hag heap.

Not only does she have "bebe" on her ass, but she also has a tramp stamp
So yeah, visible tramp stamp + bebe => slut. QED
From the Urban Dictionary:
Hmm check out that tramp stamp. Better make sure I wrap it up tonight.
If she doesn't want you to cum in her ass when you are fucking her in the butt, shoot your jizz on her tramp stamp.
Guy 1: "Did you see her tramp stamp?"
Guy 2: "Yup, just like a target saying, 'fuck me down here'."
I had a date with a girl. Once I saw her Tramp Stamp, I knew it was a sure thing.
I thought she was a the girl next door until I saw her tramp stamp, and I knew she was a slut.

The operative word in Mr. Pace's declaration is "young." For too many, youth is beauty and beauty is youth. Doubt this? Then visit a plastic surgeon. Ask him how many of his clients want to look older.
I once read an article about the "Girls Gone Wild" guy. He said that girls between 18 and 25 have that certain je ne sais quoi. I pity the ass who can't see sexy as something other than a high, tight ass. I'm not suggesting that Mr. Pace is such a person and I do applaud him for not corralling women by clothing.
I saw a woman in a line a couple days back. She had these lovely lines in her face. Alas, not all wrinkles are equal, but for that older lass, they punctuated her beauty.

Prudes
I can't see what the fuss is about in almost any of these pictures. I thought lots of the girls looked cute, and some, I really couldn't imagine the problem. Ripped jeans, maybe? Or some cleavage? The ruffled miniskirts were a serious fashion emergency, but "skanky" didn't seem to be an issue for a lot of it.
Frankly, the poll is a)tacky, b)boring and c)yeah, an excuse for women to rip on other women. Pathetic on so many levels.
