As someone who lives in L.A., I see this sort of thing everytime I go the grocery store: the fake-blonde overly made-up mom in ultra tight pants, teeny top, with cleavage oozing over. It's seems too many women - and men - don't really want to be adults these days, so they continue to behave like teenagers. And...I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess most of those women trying out for the "hot mom" contest consider themselves "cool parents." Ugh! As a parent of a teenager, those "cool parents" give me a huge headache. Oops, sorry, I went off on a tangent. But, somehow, I think they're related.

For me, I just think it's good, shallow fun and I do think moms often put aside taking care of themselves because they are so absorbed in their kids lives. There's nothing wrong with that, but I'm not sure it's always healthy. mammax3, you bring up a good point actually. I also don't think it's healthy to want to be hot for your older children's friends. Fun moms still rule the day! Crankmama, thank you. :)

It would really depress me if my guy friends would only want to hang out because they lusted after her. Besides, I had to put up with her being the "fun mom" (not to be confused with the "fun" moms who let their kids and others drink, have sex, etc..)She worked part-time with a girl I went to H.S. with and she told me to tell her HI. So I did, and that girl couldn't believe it. "Your mom is Debbie? Oh, my God! I never would have thought she was YOUR mom. She's so cool! Oh, my God....." I quietly slunk back into my nerdy corner of the classroom..... I’m glad my mom was never a hottie.

What comes after (character)is what you base a deeper relationship on. HOT is many things, but you can't deny that physical beauty is often the trigger for sexual impulse. Whatall of that has to do with motherhood is beyond me. My guess is that the hottest mother out there is the one NOT standing on the stage asking for a vote.

I think looking hot happens on the inside much of the time anyway. But, let's face it, I wouldn't kick that blonde "47" year old mom out of bed for eating crackers.

Honestly, I wish much of the time that I looked like one of those moms, but then I remember I didn't look like that at 21!! Oh well. So funny, I clicked to comment and see my name, but it’s not me!

It's easier to look hot (in the media driven concept of hot) when you're young. It takes a lot more work and effort to pull that off the older you get. I'd give the Mom in the Mom/Daughter photo you posted WAY more points than the little blonde number in the middle of the group shot above her.

Do they evaluate the character of the woman along with the size and shape of her body? Yeah, I’m just sick of America’s definition of beauty anyways.
