Toddlers and Tiaras

Last fall Wendy Dickey, a "pageant mom" featured on the TLC reality show "Toddlers and Tiaras," was scorned after she dressed her three-year-old daughter in a costume based on the hooker played by Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" - complete with blonde wig and leather boots. Ref. Source 1

I saw one episode of this show, well not the whole thing but just enough to see what it was about and I didin't like how they were making up all these little girls. For me they were just too young for that.

Toddlers and Tears: The sexualization of young girls

Though the importance of appearance has long been part of life for girls and women in America, ads are now targetting a younger audience, Carleton Kendrick, a Boston-based family therapist, said. Just last summer, Jours Après Lunes, a French clothing company, started a new line of children's "Loungerie" - thin, revealing undergarments, which are marketed for girls as young as 3 months old.

This could be an innocent thing (dressing up like mommy) but the way this world is now it just sends out the wrong signal. This shouldn't be a public thing at all, there should be an age limit of sorts.

Yeah. I agree that this goes a bit too far. However, I don't think a ban would be fair nor practical. It wouldn't hold up in America. So I hope mothers will use their best judgement and avoid these clothing.

You may not be able to ban it but probably child protective services can investigate motives and ensure the child isn't being forced into this world.
