Comments on: For The Prostitot Who Has Everything… http://glosslip.com/2008/06/12/for-the-prostitot-who-has-everything/ Celebrity gossip from our lips to yours Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:43:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: k http://glosslip.com/2008/06/12/for-the-prostitot-who-has-everything/comment-page-1/#comment-49782 k Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:58:35 +0000 http://glosslip.com/?p=3962#comment-49782 #4: Precisely. And that's why, when my kids were young, I didn't let them watch crap like Nick teen shows and Disney teen shows and whatever else is out there marketed to kids. Yeah, it seriously limited the television choices, but is that such a bad thing, to be picky about what is on one's TV? But the result is that I have a teenage daughter who still doesn't want to wear makeup and a teenage son who knows how girls ought to dress and look. Not saying that I'm some sort of role model parent and my kids are angels...but it did definitely cut back on things to argue about. And when did the kids start running the show, anyway? I have no problem telling my kids "no" when they want to do something stupid. Parents need to remember who is supposed to be in charge. #4: Precisely.

The anchors were incredulous that such a thing should be on the market. They were having a good time laughing at the people who invented these...as well they should. #5 is right in that this sort of thing is only for the parents. When children are this little, they only care that they are warm and fed and dry and clean. They could live in diapers and onesies for a year and be perfectly happy. So, if you're gonna dress up your kids in prostitot fashion, I agree...don't have kids.

Why? First off, this kid won't even know they have them on. So second point is, it is only for the parents. Bottom line, if you like this, don't have kids. I really just don’t get this. Why?

Parents often feel compelled and pressured to buy their children this stuff because it's the 'In' thing and they don't want their kids to feel 'out of the loop' so to speak. They see all their tween and teen idols dressed and acting like that (people like Lohan and Hilton. UGH!) and so they feel like they have to dress like them in order to be more like them. Because they don't want to feel left out. But at the same time, these kids are devaluing themselves. There are FAR better role models out there. Some of them are parents and teachers. Some of them are out there holding protests and educating people to bring a vile, corrupt corporation to justice. And I know of at least two who run this site ^_^. ^ I think maybe a big part of it is pressure.

People just don't see the harm in dressing their children up to look like miniature adults...or, worse, miniature streetwalkers or pimp daddies. I was in a Wal-Mart the other day looking at makeup, and two little girls who could not have been more than six or seven sashayed (and I do mean sashayed) past me...black leggings, miniskirts, crop tops, mani/pedis (french nails), did hair, correctly done makeup (no Tinkerbelle play stuff here) with mascara and lipstick, dark tans, and walking like little adults. They were looking at makeup...and in a serious way, not in a giggly little girl way. It really made me sick.

I'm glad you made an article on it most news would ignore it and without people atleast knowing or putting out an opinion of disgust, they will keep making trash like this. I hope they get enough bad PR from this. Honestly whats next, inflatable bras, for the prostitot who doesn’t have everything -_- what the hell is this garbage, honestly.

BURN THEM! I was going to add something to that, but I don't think the censors will allow it; use your imagination. Who the Hell do these designers think are gonna buy these things? Besides people like Denise Richards, I mean. The rest of the population has more sense than to put something like this on their children. Message to children's clothes designers: GET A CLUE! NO ONE WANTS TO BUY YOUR CHEAP, TRASHY PROSTITOT JUNK! CLASSY OVER TRASHY!!! BURN THEM! BURN THEM!
