Little Girls In "Liking To Play Dress-Up" Shocker

tiptoe through the tulips

Today, the New York Post engages in a little bit of its every-so-often “but what about the children (of celebrities)” teeth-gnashing with an extended look at how shoe manufacturers are marketing shoes with one- to two-inch heels to young girls — like, pre-K young. The peg for this piece: A picture of Suri “The Most Photographed Child In America” Cruise wearing what look like a pair of Minnie Mouse-inspired Mary Janes while being toted around by her dad. The predictable Post commenter response: “Suri looks ridiculous. Sounds like she rules at home. No recent photos of her. Maybe she is recovering from cosmetic surgery. She is 4 now. Never too young to start.” Is it a sign of my jadedness that I’m saving my weary outrage for when someone decides to pair them with the Daisy Duke diapers?
