Toodlers & Tiaras Controversy: Are they growing up too Fast.

Opening Activity.

This article was about how the publics reaction was about 3-4 year olds are dressing up as adults. Inculding spray tans, fake teeth, padding, and fake hair. A little dressed up like Dolly Parton, wich people think is inapropiate for a 3-4 year old.
It seems like this show is sending out the wrong message. I think that  it is inapropiate because kids should learn that make-up, fake material things dont make you a better/prettier person. Its natural beauty that is important.
