Can you say not a chance

iWon - News: "Even as young as seven, British girls are using make-up, mimicking pop idols and parents in a pitch for early adulthood, according to a consumer intelligence group.

More than three in five of seven-to-10-year-olds questioned by Mintel said they wear lipstick and nearly as many use perfume, it said in a survey."

I do not understand grownups who wear tons of makeup all the time and there is no way my kids were ever allowed to. This ranks right up there with the annual cheerleading competitions. When April was working at Joes Crab shack there were little girls as young as five wearing what amounted to stipper costumes and dancing very sexually suggestive dances on the table top. We wonder why women view themselves as objects and worse allow themselves to be treated as such. We wonder what pedophiles see in small children. I can't figure out if the majority of the parents in this country and others are blind, or just plain stupid.

By Dressing down and running around like a bum Lydia for everyday life, you are teaching your daughter that there is a time and a place for everything and that it doesn't matter if you get all dolled up to go grocery shopping. That you do not have to wear makeup to get along in life and that many things are more important than appearances.

That said I still win the bag Lady clothing title and you can't have it.

I remember Kelly and I going to a chinese restaurant with the kids a few years ago and our waitresses make up was heavy and garish. One of the kid's said(in front of her), "You look like a clown!" This was embarrassing and the child was reprimanded but she really did look like a clown. Some one that loves her should have already told her that.
