Little girls, redux
posted at 9:15 AM | Permalink |
A friend mentioned to me this morning that there is a tv show called Little Miss Perfect on WEtv. Its description says it "takes you on a journey into the world of children's pageants." As I wrote Sunday, reflecting on the Jon Benet Ramsey movie/story (here), I know there are many ways to grow up healthy and I'm truly sure that it's impossible to identify with any certainty which interests will or will not help develop healthy, wealthy and wise adulthood. On the other hand, it does seem creepy and feel wrong for little girls to hold all kids of sexy poses and get all dolled up . I very much hope and want to believe that girls who do pagents and become engrossed in these activities as post-toddlers really can and do grow into emotionally and intellectually strong women.
