Maui_Slam_Jessica_Pearl_PICKS1

September 24, 2009
After a too-long hiatus, Maui Slam is back and "goes back to school"—the theme for this month's installment. (The flier's graphic alludes to the sexy schoolgirl—or boy—twist.) This event is open to all "spoken word artists, poets and MCs," the call more specifically extending, in keeping with the theme, to "all art freaks, band geeks, computer nerds, jocks, preps, plastics, stoners and loners!" If your stereotype or clique of choice appears to be omitted in that poetic line, I'm sure you're more than welcome too (I guess that means you, emos). Heck, they're even encouraging voyeurs to attend, specifically for the "fun and flirty" dance event to follow, with beats spun in a "special mix" by DJ Joey and The Wrench. Beyond dancing, the debut fashion show by Maui Community College's Fashion Couture Club, the "visual alchemy" of Douglas DeBoer, and the thrill of performing your original works before a receptive crowd (just keep your performance time to under 3 min.), is the chance event participants have at scoring the $100 cash (let me repeat, cash) prize. 1188 Makawao Ave., Makawao. www.mauislam.com

    Don't sexualize my little girl!
    September 24, 2009 | 04:07 PM

    I find the flier extremely offensive. The sexualization of little girls is highly inappropriate and should not be used to promote Maui Slam which should be empowering women. Women-you are not empowered when you have a stripper's uniform on! Young girls need to know that they are valued for more than their sexual attractiveness.

    1. The photo was of a 40 year old woman, although a shame your mind went there. 2. Ironically, a lot of women showed up that night and were empowered to slam despite creativity by giving them a stage . 4. Instead of clamoring to women through this post, you may want to host your own positive event instead of criticizing someone else's vision.

    "The age of consent for heterosexual sex in Hawaii is 16 for both men and women. Someone who is 14 may consent to sex in Hawaii with an individual who is no more than 19. There is no age of consent for sex between two women or two men, since the U.S. Supreme court has overturned the Hawaiian law."

    How exactly did "Disgusted" find sexualization in the flyer? Was it the school girl uniform? If people are so turned on by the school girl uniform, maybe the private and catholic schools wanna rethink their uniforms,... or not. Those uniforms are very prevalent in Hentai and Asian porn. Maybe our children shouldn't be wearing uniforms, it makes them look like porn stars these days. And we all know Catholic School Girls Rule!!!
