I caught a snippet of MM's "On Set", featuring Ashlee Simpson. Hearing her talk, she definitely not braindead, which wouldn't ordinarily be something you'd say in praise, but considering that family ... anyhow, she talked about the clothes she wears and how she dresses in her videos, and explained how she likes wearing loose comfortable clothes. She mentioned JoJo (14-year old girl discovers tight tops) and Lindsay Lohan (18-year old working-hard-to-be-a-baaad-girl with her tops perpetually flayed open) as examples of other "music stars" who like to dress sexy and reveal a bit of their bodies.

Nevertheless, the video Ashlee was shooting involved her writhing about on a couch, arms sprawl out around her, midriff easily visible, with her pants riding low nearly down to her ass crack. So I guess we've reached the point where "dressing sexy" = "getting your tits out" and as long as you're not doing the latter then it's fairly conservative. Just to let you know.
