She was only 16, only 16...

[The Hen]

... And the fake tan and bleached hair.

[BoSoxGal]

I was going to say . . . why would anyone choose that bleached damaged nest over the gorgeous natural blond of the earlier photos?

This girl is seriously messed up. So sad.

[The Hen]

I don't understand the desire of young girls to want to look like the image on the wrapping of a sex doll.

Who is dictating this sad look?

Is it Internet porn?

[loCAtek]

NO! Shocking! Who'd support that!?

[The Hen]

Sorry?

Who'd support what?

[loCAtek]

Who'd support Internet porn.

[The Hen]

But that wasn't my question?

My question concerns what is leading girls to 'pornifying' themselves.

When did looking like the packaging picture of an adult shop product become the fashionable look for young girls?

Do you see the difference?

Your answer makes no sense. That is why I questioned it.

[loCAtek]

It wasn't supposed to make sense, it was a nonsensical over-reaction, done for fun. My fun, of course.

...but seriously, I blame Barbie™, she was the first, or just the greatest doll that marketed over-accentuated sexuality. Sure, there were 'Fashion dolls' before her, but they retained some realism and modesty.

Barbie™ pulled out all the stops; highly made-up; bleached, perfect hair; unnatural proportions; expensive clothes and jewelry; and an expression that says,
"I'm rich and spoiled"



In the past, children's dolls were meant to be toy babes that were to teach young girls how to prepare for their future role in life as a mother.

Barbie™ was introduced to girls as the new female role model of consumer.
Her message: you can buy happiness.
Buy make-up. Buy clothes. Buy fancy cars.
That was to be a young girl's goal for adult life- be a shallow, sexy, ornament. Then corporate greed could keep selling you products, you thought were going to make you happy.

There's been this trend in America, that new parents are advised by well-wishers to,
"Spoil that kid like crazy." [?] It may have started as a jest, meaning, 'We hope your family does well, and you can provide well for your children." Some where along the line, folks started taking the 'spoiling' part literally, and took role models like Barbie™ to heart. You didn't have to raise your kids, you could just buy their happiness.

Now, after a few generations of Barbie™ philosophy, we have teens who get boob-jobs for their 16th birthdays; Botox injections for 13-year-olds, and fashion shows with make-up on toddlers.

This poor girl's parents actually went and bought her a life! complete with famous husband, all she has to do to earn it, is stay a human Barbie™.

As far as I can tell, Mattel never forced anyone to buy a Barbie doll. Barbie sold, and still sells today -- inspiring countless copies along the way -- because it is a product that has reflected -- not created -- cultural values. It is easy (but wrong) to blame products that meet an obvious demand for the society that creates that demand. Al Mattel wanted to do was to make money selling toys. It marketed what sold best.

As far as I can tell, Mattel never forced anyone to buy a Barbie doll.

Good thing no one said that.

...but Barbie™ doll marketing was unique, in that it exploited burgeoning sexuality, and did so by the new social medium of the time: television. No other toy prior nor since, has been so manipulative of conventions and social mores than Barbie™ Girl

Is the "80's hair-metal pornstar inflatable doll" look in these days?

Actor Doug Hutchinson, teen wife split
Arienne Thompson, USA TODAY 6:24 p.m. EST November 5, 2013
Courtney Stodden was 16 when they married.
Shocking celebrity split news: Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison, 51, and his 19-year-old wife Courtney Stodden are calling it quits.

Hard to believe, but they just couldn't make it work.

"After two and a half years of marriage, Courtney and Doug have decided to become legally separated," the couple said in a statement to The Daily Mail. "Courtney was married at a young age. Now, at nineteen, she's interested in exploring life as an unmarried single young adult -- with the freedom to explore her independence."

The comically oblivious statement continued, "The two will share custody of their precious pup, Dourtney, remain living in the same house ... in separate bedrooms, and Doug will be co-managing Courtney's career."

The pair married in 2011 when Stodden was just 16. Her parents consented to their underage daughter's marriage to the actor, whom she met when she signed up for his acting workshop online.

Romantic, right?

Wait...

She's now 19, and he's still 51? (Well, at least one of them did some growing up...)

There is one fact of life that most young females don't seem to understand: The way you dress, groom yourself, and carry yourself tell the world how you want to be treated - whether you like it or not, and whether you understand it or not. Parents who allow their pre-pubescent girls to dress like tarts are not competent to be parents. What can you say about mothers who intentionally dress their little girls like this? Inconceivably stupid.

If you dress, groom, and act like a cunt, boys/men will treat you like a cunt. If you appear to have self-respect, you will in most cases be treated with respect. The words, "low self-esteem" have become trite through perpetual repetition, but girls who obviously have low self-esteem are a magnet for boys who want nothing more than a piece of ass.

Think, tattoos and body piercings. Black makeup. Inappropriately exposed midriffs. Jeans that are so tight they make the viewer uncomfortable. You might as well be walking around wearing a sandwich board saying, "Take Advantage of Me!"

[Big RR]

Yep; kids these days, they have no respect for themselves or anyone else. Damn kids, it's not like when we were growing up...

Where have I heard that before.

If they were inconceivable the whole thing wouldn't be a problem.

Better birth control is the answer to a lot of questions.

Too bad your mother did not practice it...
