As we saw in "Merchants of Cool," there is a certain figure girls have been copying, called a midriff. These girls show a higher level of maturity than what they really are. For example it can be a 13 year old looking older and dressing older than what they rally are. By possibly wearing a lot of makeup and dressing more revealing. The midriffs have a certain image they want to obtain. They are consumed by their looks and are trying to flaunt their bodies. Someone who was a prime example of this was Britney Spears. In her early days of fame while she was much younger she had exactly what all the girls were looking for. She had presented herself way older than the reality and she portrayed an image of naughty innocence in a way. By putting on her school girl clothes that weren't to appropriate. With all her fame I'm sure that through her display of character she developed other girls ways of being.Now this was a concept back in the early two thousands, but its still prominent in today society. I see it in girls often, I just think its not as much noticed anymore because its such a common thing for girls now a days. Especially with there being multiple media sites available like Instagram, twitter, VSCO, and snap chat there are more ways to display this. I think being a midriff is a desired quality to girls because this is whats common and what will make them fit in.
