It’s simply beyond me — the preschool beauty pageants, 7-year-old cheerleaders in perfect pedophile-friendly attire (and makeup), bralettes for grade schoolers, thongs for 1o-year-olds and push-up bikinis for kindergartners. In a great CNN article by LZ Granderson, he says “What adult who wants a daughter to grow up with high self-esteem would even consider purchasing such items?” Maybe some parents don’t want their girls growing up with self-esteem. Maybe they want them pregnant by sixteen. Maybe they truly believe that all their girl’s got going for her is her sass and pout, and that having “Juicy” on her ass is her only hope for success in life. Or maybe they just can’t say no. Who knows.
But Mr. Granderson has a few words to say on the subject, in “Parents, don’t dress your girls like tramps.”
Enjoy, and share!

Kinda reminds me of a conversation I had not too long ago….what the ???? are parents thinking sending CHILDREN to ELEMENTARY school with a full face of makeup, complete with the latest glitz and glam eyeliner, the lash extending mascara and ripe ruby lipstick? Maybe I’m a fuddy duddy but come on! Do you really want the dirty old guy on the corner waking up a little at the sight of your third grader strutting her stuff in those ultra low rise short shorts? Or maybe if you can get them pregnant before they make it into UGA you can save the cost of tuition. Whatever the motive it’s inexcusable. Quit living vicariously through your ten year old people and save the money for your own trip to the shrink! hey and how about trying “NO” on for size, a good resounding dose of NO never hurt anyone.
