xfrmd's Blog: Cannot Stay Silent
It is probably inevitable that the the beautiful Miss Patrick will make the marketing jump to NASCAR at some point; there is money to be had and you always follow the money.
I neither dispute Miss Patricks beauty or her skills as a driver; she is a beautiful woman and if she didn't have some skills no matter how beautiful she is she wouldn't have a ride.
That said I am so disappointed in the marketing tack she has taken for herself. She had the potential to be a great role model for young women in life in general and those who are interested in motor sports. Instead she is  are racing down the sex sells path headlong. I wouldn't want my daughter, niece or any young woman in my life that I care for to be modeling after the scantily clad Miss Patrick.
I'm not saying she should wear clothes that cover her from throat to wrist and ankle but there are some things that should be left ot the imagination and should be preserved strictly for her future husband.
Teaching young girls that beauty and the willingess to flaunt your body is a means to success instead of your skills is the way of our world and it is sad beyond words.
Do I condem Miss Patrick for her choices? Nope but I sure am saddened by them she deserves better for herself.
My two cents plus tax.
