Certainly does Tink and now I can say "oh cannot hear you" or just let them think I am a silly old woman lol

I think if people are worried about looks then they lead miserable lives, so many interesting people they miss meeting.

It starts young to be honest. I only have small girls (4 and 6), but already when they are dressing up as princesses, they ask "How do I look?". It can be quite hard to teach them that you should strive to be beautiful on the inside too.

Pathetic...there should be a campaign tp boycott this nasty shop, the shop looks very chavvy anyway.

IT has always been the way though, kids for centuries have wanted to look like adults.

It does start young and its a shame because children should be children not little adults. Target got the hammer this week about its clothing range for young girls.

They are a lot better now, but the pressure to look 'beautiful' is in my opinion what has contributed to the decline in many aspects of the modern world.

Cheers Tony.

Spot on.
