Similarly, when they go to the concert at the Palladium in Hollywood the author describes the venue and says that there are “mobs of young people in leather vests, bell-bottoms, beads, Jesus thongs, tie-dyed T-shirts, and crowns of flower” (Soto 148).

It is up to their families to help them through the up and downs of society’s values. I have distinct memories of Xena kicking butt and while being gorgeous. My memory is not of her wearing a thong or being scandalously dressed. She was attractive, in control of her body and sexuallity all while being a woman.
