have you seen how them 8 yr olds dress.....sometimes i am truly shocked by the make up the glitter nail polish the ******* stripper look....should anyone under 20 have smokey eyes in the middle of the day?
No, and nobody over 20 either, lol.
I have to say, though, I'm fighting this fight with my 8 y.o., tho more last year than this year. She wants to wear makeup, she wants to dress provacatively, she has no concept of the message it conveys or how it affects people.
So I have to monitor her continually (like I said, it's actually much better now). The makeup is an ongoing thing. She'll sneak it on, lol. I'll be fixing dinner or something and all of a sudden notice the LIPSTICK and flipping sparkly beige eyeshadow. Little poop. I make her wash it off, and she has to go back and scrub until it all comes off. I try not to make a really big thing of it because I don't want it to be a power issue, wouldn't that be fun.
Unfortunately some women have no concept of boundaries and they just think the sooner their little girls can pull men in the better.
I'm not even a fan of regular bikinis for little girls; though I wore them myself. My daughter has one, usually, but I push the one piece for anything social. She wears her bikini when it's just us. SO FAR. Never say never.
