SPOTTED
And we thought jean diapers were bad? How about the real thing... this weekend while watching the field hockey game I saw a little boy (couldn't have been more than four years old) wearing TRUE RELIGION JEANS! To top off the outfit he was wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt. And what was he doing in this outfit? He playing in the grass and rolling down the hill. Somehow a $200+ outfit and rolling around in the grass doesn't exactly add up to me... oh yeah AND the fact that the boy wasn't even five years old!

You do have to wonder what sense of the value of things that kid will have, once he grows up.
ReplyDeleteI think part of what people see as the appeal of this trend is kids looking like mini-adults (oh, so cute!). But when you pair that with the increasing insistence that little kids ACT like adults--through media like Miley Cyrus and Bratz--you get a disturbing cultural trend. Why do we want kids to look & act like adults? --because then we can sell them stuff, of course.
