Re: Red Lipstick
Okay…I have several pictures from my childhood where my sister and I were both under the age of 10 and sporting lipstick. It’s a wonder that my mom did not stop us…cuz we look scary in those pics. Makeup, for the most part, looks “off” on very, very young girls. It makes them look like trannies, it gives a sort of trashy look. Have you seen shows like Toddlers in Tiaras…where girls between the ages of 2-5 are dressed like hoochie women and entered into pageants? Despite having such naturally pretty features to begin with, the makeup makes them unnatural; it’s unsettling. I went to Pakistan a few months back and I put a bit of makeup on my 2-year-old niece cuz she’s crazy about the stuff and won’t take her hands off it. But if I have daughters, I will not let them wear lipstick at such a young age as freely as I was allowed to. And it’s funny cuz I guess that means I will be a stricter parent than my mom.
