This morning as I sat down to eat my toast and drink my coffee, I turned on the Today show. I was then disgusted at what story I heard: a new French "loungerie" line for little girls. Are you serious??? Thank goodness the Today show was not promoting this whatsoever. Take a look at the video here. Not only is the whole idea for this line appalling, so are the photos. The girls are portrayed in a very adult manner, with teased hair, pearls, and seductive gazes. Can't kids just be kids anymore?
Society is already rushing little ones to grow up a lot faster than necessary, but with things like this it's inevitable. It also just adds to the huge problem of self-image among girls. Just when I thought "Toddler's and Tiaras" was bad enough, this came along. Where are the parents when all this is happening? The problem is, many of them are living vicariously through their children, not realizing what harm they are causing in the long run.
I am a big fan of "Law & Order: SVU," and after seeing all this press about child lingerie I realize just how much easier it is making it for those sick perverts out there. Let's just make it so much easier for them, shall we? I mean, what the heck is this world coming to? I don't even want to know what it will be like when I have kids of my own.
