As I talked in the last post, their is a new fight against the princess ideal. But that's not for everyone. A lot of people want their daughter to be the prettiest, and they start that from the beginning. A GREAT example is Toddlers in Tiaras. Which in my opinion is one of the most atrocious shows on television. But nonetheless it's on and it's on for a reason. 1. because just like the magazines we watch and the other reality tv shows, whether we like this or not, we get pulled into it. This is one where I draw the line.
But these mothers want their daughters, even at the young age of 2, to be the most beautiful and best dressed and most liked. And these girls will hold on to this is a couple of different ways. They will either eventually rebel against what they were forced in to, or continue it throughout their lives, only thinking looks matter.
And I've found with friends of mine that I've seen this within their parents, especially moms. They live vicariously through their daughters, whether it's because they were the popular beauty and want to hold on to it forever, or they weren't and want to get a glimpse of what it is like. And so the emphasis on beauty and looks with consume their lives. They will live the life as a slave to the princess ideal.
