Some will argue and say it's ruining our little girls and shaping them into grown women all too fast. I am particially biased because I don't have a little girl to raise although it is bothersome when I see "little Mandy" in the nail salon with her mom. But then I think well perhaps she's a straight A student and this is her reward, or maybe just maybe her mom is teaching her the proper ways to groom herself. I remember the days when parents actually talked to their children instead of allowing music videos and magazines to alter their common sense and views on what's right and wrong.
I believe that the most beautiful and inspiring aspect of fashion is fantasy. Fantasy and luxury often times go hand in hand. No I cannot afford those thousand dollar Louboutins, or that new Victoria Beckham handbag, or even a Birkin bag - but isn't that what keeps us striving for better. The notion that we can dream of having nice luxury things, and living in the big house, or just having no financial worries. That's what this spread says to me. Sure you may see a little spoiled bratty kid playing in her mom's things but what if that spoiled brat also had manners, was well educated, and still watched cartoons.
I'd love to hear your thoughts? Do you feel it's sending the wrong message, or is this just fashion?
