Katie was home alone. On a lark she had faked being sick so she could take a day off from school. It was near the end of the school year and she was already going to graduate as valedictorian so there was no real problem. She had been bored with school and was looking forward to going off to college in the fall. She hoped it would be a relief to get out from under her mother's strict conservative control. After getting up late she had watched the forbidden Soap Operas and MTV that her mother had locked out using Parental Control Mode on the cable receiver. Katie was a smart girl had figured out the password months ago and occasionally wasted time on theses disgusting shows, in her mother's words.
Initially she was stunned by the open discussion of sex and scandalous affairs that were happening on the Soaps. But then began to watch with interest, especially when her favorite character decided to seduce the good looking neighbor. She had never seen anyone dress the way the women on the show dressed, especially in the intimate relationships between the men and women and women and women. It was fascinating to watch but didn't seem like anything in real life.
Then she had discovered MTV Dance Party... there were Girls her age, 18 and younger, in short skirts and tank tops dancing with abandon while boys watched and danced with them. Katie was embarrassed by the amount of skin the girls were showing where their legs, midriffs and breasts were brazenly displayed for the boys to see. And the way the girls were suggestively moving their bodies while dancing with the boys or each other shocked her. Eventually she began to wonder if she could dance like that or wear clothes like those girls did. After all he looked much like she did.
