What is with young girls wearing make-up, high heels, and sexy clothes? I know I am not the first person to notice this or to be disturbed by it, and I wonder why the trend continues.
Recent observations: a girl around eight years old wearing a short skirt and high-heeled boots, just like her mother; teenagers in shirts barely covering their breasts, which were encased in push-up bras, while their faces were smeared with foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick; a girl around thirteen or so who bent over, giving everyone a glimpse of her see-through lacy white thong; and girls between the ages of ten and fifteen wearing t-shirts with pictures of cherries or the Playboy emblem, or with words such as "Slut" or "Bitch".
Is it really attractive to dress young girls up like this? Personally, I find it worrisome and ridiculous, not sexy. Females have plenty of time to be provocative, so why must they start so early?

About Us
- Peeves and Rants
- We're Curly Curmudgeon and Prunella Peeve, writers who became friends in graduate school. For the past few years we've maintained our transatlantic friendship mainly via e-mail, where we often share pet peeves and rants about aspects of writing, publishing, teaching, and many other topics. Now we're making it all public. Why? We're not entirely sure. But we hope to find at least a few more like-minded friends in cyberspace.
