What Girl Doesn't Like to be Pampered?
April 8, 2008I watched a segment on The Today Show this morning about young girls getting beauty treatments. I thought - cute. The overall tone of the segment is that these girls are too young and it is hurting them and will hurt their self-esteem in the long run. Huh? I do not see these girls making standing appointments This is a party. A treat. A special occasion.
I think it is fun for a five year old to host a pedicure party and get all dressed up. I mean, really. I did it when I was five, but I was doing it at home with friends and our mother's makeup bags. For goodness sake, let girls be girls and enjoy it.
I actually met Robert Cleary (in the video) at Dashing Diva last Saturday and was treated to the ultimate pedicure (more on that soon). I thought, what a great place. I really wish we had one in my town because I know it would be booked for parties all the time. Watch the segment and let me know what you think.

I dressed up and played with my mom's makeup when I was a kid and did my nails (I still do them myself...one of my many talents is to paint both my hands amazingly) but I have to say when I saw the girls in my town mall leave the libby lu I did a double take. They were wearing these sequined bikini tops and mini skirts...plus what they did their makeup and hair to look like...
In all honesty my first impression of them was that it was "dress up like a hooker." I think the problem more lies with that the idols of today are young and emphasizing their sexuality.
But like I said maybe I'm just oldfashioned.
Whatever happened to lipsmackers before lipstick?
