This is SICK!!!

The problem is in the advertising. I work in advertising, and whoever is responsible for the marketing/advertising of these clothes should be ashamed. They totally missed their mark, and realize that the over sexualization of children is NOT the way to go here. Totally creepy.

I also object to the young models…I know people, even children, have to wear makeup in magazine spreads because they are being photographed. But there’s a HUGE difference between a little base and powder to tone down shine and even out skin tone, and obvious makeup designed to make these little girls look like whores.

That, and the looks. The ones in the top photo look like any pouty model selling sex in Cosmo.

Look, I get that most little girls love to dress up and feel grown up and i also get they love to wear lots of sparkly jewelery. But designers forget these are *little girls!* I know there’s tons of competition in the design world, but WHY ON EARTH do they have to churn out stuff like this trash? The only reason so many parents buy it is because their options have shrunk drastically over the past few years to such a degree that this is the only stuff available.

Dear God, somebody, *anybody* please, knock some sense into these designers.

(went off on a bit of a tangent there. Sorry).

My own daughter was never allowed crop tops or pants with writing across the ass. Children are at risk enough as it is without throwing “sexy” clothes on them.

This particular line of clothing isn’t “sexy”, but it is really tacky and does project a certain image that really isn’t appropriate for children unless they’re in a dream sequence on some inane sitcom.

China up until somewhat recent history practiced footbinding which is grotesque, what do we do? We promote millions of little girls to be little Jon Bonettes.

Disgusting.
