The Modesty Mall - The Why, What and How of Modesty

Yes, modesty-mall.com is here!

For those of you who may have missed the note i posted a while back or are new and have no idea what i am talking about, i shall explain. =) (Nice of me, isn't it?)

Beginning last fall when i signed up with SiteSell.com i have been working like a tortoise (that's a good thing) on my very own website about modesty. My site will be geared mainly towards teens, Catholic teens to be specific, but it is my hope that both the young and the young at heart, Catholics and non-Catholics will be able to visit and get something out of it.

Here is a small excerpt from the homepage

Sorry. Oh, and what's with the whole Modesty Mall thing? What's that supposed to mean?

It's pretty simple really. In the dictionary, a mall is defined as 'a usually large suburban building or group of buildings containing various shops with associated passageways'. There are a whole bunch of different kinds of shops in a mall, right? Clothing stores, book stores, music stores, etc. Well, this website is kind of like a mall. Think of the different pages as shops and stores with the links as your... read the rest here

Remembering the messages of Our Lady of Fatima and her warnings that "certain fashions shall be introduced which will offend Our Lord very much", if find it no coincidence that my website was ready to be launched on today, Our Lady's feast day. While it was unplanned on my part, i know it was planned by Someone else! ;)

So i now dedicate my website, modesty-mall.com, my work and my efforts to Our Lady of Fatima. I ask Our Lady that she will bless them, and i ask all of you that you will occaisonally petition Our Lady of Fatima on my behalf. Thank you!

Rose Randomly Rambles Rather than Retiring

Ok ok, one last post for today and then I'll go to bed I promise!

What? Oh, hi there! Sorry, talking to my mom, who actually hasn't told me to go to bed yet but will. But I must say a few things before Sunday is over. Er, rather, sing a few things. Ok, I'm going to sing to you!

I am 16 going on 17
I know that I’m naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies
Drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone
Older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18
I'll depend on you

Tada! Thank you! Thank you! I just had to sing that today, because I won't be able to after this week. Why, may you ask? Well, I shall whisper you a secret... I turn 17 on Friday! It's my birthday preciouss! Ha, that reminds me. The other day, I was in a rather hyper mood, and I was talking in a Gollum/Smeagol voice to my sister Yaviel and I looked out the window and saw the UPS coming up the drive. I declared that I would answer the door, grab the package and say (in a Gollum voice, of course) "It's my birthday present preciousss, and we wantss it!" Yavi actually believed me (and to tell the truth, I might have really done it!) and chased me into the basement so I couldn't open the door.

Second thing I wanted to share with you... I registered the domain name for my web-site last week! The address is modesty-mall.com. Nothing is up yet, but I will definitely keep you all posted! For those of you who didn't know (and that would probably be all of you), I have been working on building a website on modesty since the start of the school year. It's going to be all about modesty, why to dress modestly, how to dress modestly, where to find modest clothing, books on modesty and a whole bunch of other fun stuff.

Now you may be thinking, "What! She started back in August and just registered her domain name? She must not have been working much on it!" Wrong, as a matter of fact, I work on it at least two hours a week. So you may then think, "Well at least two hours a week, what's her problem? Just registered her domain name!? Sheesh! I would have registered it a long time ago and been writing a bunch of pages by now!" Well, if you think that, then you've never heard of SiteSell. To learn just what SiteSell is, simply click on the link. I think you will find it quite fascinating. Basically, the whole concept is building a site - centered on something you know and love. Building a site that is successful, popular and earns you an income! Interested now? ;)

Third thing, if you would, I would like to direct you to a new blog that I discovered Catholicism Rediscovered. It's written by my little sister's friend's older brother, recently started, but promises to be quite fascinating! So just pointing that out to y'all!

Okay, so, that's it for this week! See you later!
