Eye candy (slang for visual appeal)

Eye candy is a slang term for superficial attractiveness. In a 2017 Boston Globe article about the potential for cheerleading at the Olympics, eye candy was used to describe cheerleaders as "entertainment popularized by professional sports in the United States." The term has also been used in professional sports in the United States referring to female athletes.

"Eye Candy" and the Sexualization of Girls

In 2005 the American Psychological Association (APA) established the Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls. In 2008 they reported that clothing targeting 7- to 10-year-old girls was being advertised with slogans such as "eye candy" or "wink wink". By 2008, " journalists, child advocacy organizations, parents, and psychologists" had expressed "alarm" that the sexualization of girls was a "broad and increasing problem and is harmful to girls." As part of the book series entitled Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development (ARAD), Mary E. Mancuso published a chapter entitled "Protecting Youth from Sexualized Media: Media Literacy" in Adolescents, Rapid Social Change, and the Law: The Transforming Nature of Protection. Mancuso--at Indiana University Maurer School of Law--observed that the "sexualization of the media" has become a "pressing issue for child development and society as a whole" as media through technological advancements, has become pervasiveness in children's lives. She called for governmental support for media literacy programs in public schools to counter the potentially harmful effects of "problematic media messages". She cited studies on marketing of clothes that enhance the sexual attractiveness of young girls such as sexy camisoles, thongs, padded bras, and emblazoned tee-shirts with inappropriate slogans, such as "Eye Candy" for tweenies. Central to the marketing strategy is the importance of being "hot" and "sexy".
