Yes Margo, yes! I’m terrified for my daughter. The messages sent to young girls are inexcusable.

1) We’re moving to Texas where beauty pageants seem to be big, and that scares me. I don’t want Lily to get that doll girl mentality.
2) I saw a girl walking down the street with her Mom yesterday. Must have been less than ten. She had on gold high heels, a short skirt, a t-shirt and a short fuzzy red jacket. I swear to God she looked like a hooker. WHY do people do this?!?!?!? She should be running around in overalls with her hair tucked behind her ears and a flower in her hands!

Gossip Girls is just a retarded show. I’ve lived through three teenagers so far, have got three now and I am under no misconception that my teens won’t see this stuff. They are quite devious when they want to be.

I remember years ago standing in the middle of the Gap in outrage at the 8 foot photos of anorexic models for our girls to mimic. 14 years later and we have the glorification of the Gossip Girls with over-sexualized “teens” modeling ridiculous behaviors devoid of any real character.

We have NOT come a long way baby, despite having females in powerful positions in every industry.

Well said, missy. My hat is off to you for so many reasons, but first and foremost, your being a MOM is second to none.

I host a yearly Mommy’s Day Getaway her in Laguna Beach for all my mommy friends (I’m a fantastic Aunt!). Consider yourself invited always. =)

I completely agree with you! It is apalling the things that they show on TV now! I think my grandparents would die of shock… and I certainly don’t want my kids to see stuff like that!
