Do we really want our little girls dressing like this?

dressing up,
girls,
noah cyrus,
trendy
You may have seen the news that ten year old Noah Cyrus (that's her, on the left) is helping to launch a new line of clothes aimed at children for the Ohh La! La! Couture range. along with her eight year odl friend Emily Grace Greaves.
Now, let's put aside the fact that these kids are ten and eight, and let's even take it at face value that they are indeed "designing" the clothes themselves (I have my suspicions on that one!).
Instead, let's look at that picture on the left a little more.
Knee length PVC dominatrix boots. The shortest of mini skirts. Grown up full length gloves. Fishnet tights. All topped off with a face full of mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick.
SHE'S TEN...
According to the official press release, clothes such as those in this this photograph are:
"versatile styles that can be worn with sweet ballerina slippers, casual sneakers or paired with lace stockings and boots for more of a rock and roll look,"Lace stockings and boots? On a ten year old? (And let's not forget that these clothes are going to be available in baby sizes too, by all accounts).
We know that kids like to dress like their icons and idols, and every little girl wants to grow up too fast, but when we see girls of 6 and 7 coming into our shop looking for outfits that show off their midriff, complaining skirts are too long and looking for the skimpiest of tops and underwear, it makes us glad we have boys!
Call us old fashioned, but what's wrong with a pair of trendy leggings and a bum covering top? It can still look cool and 'edgy' without making our daughters think they have to dress like hookers to fit in, no?
What do you think? Are we being old fashioned? Do we not 'get it'? Is this the ways fashion for young girls is going? Or do you agree with us and think we should let little girls be girls just a little bit longer?

Just yuck. Really, yuck. The boots alone are wrong on just a foot health level - imagine the state of her poor feet by the time she reaches adulthood. The whole thing leaves a very nasty taste in my mouth.
NOOOOOO!!!!!
I am quite conservative when it comes to little girl's clothing and don't even like spaghetti straps let alone all the rest of that garb.
Talk about sexing up a child.
*Shudder*
Oh that really is disgusting, makes me very worried about what the future holds for these 'mini me's' :0(
Agreed 100%! I wouldn't like to see an adult dressed like that, never mind a child! I've done a little research and some of the outfits are quite cute with pettiskirts and vest tops but there are a few that should never have been put into production such as the example used here- completely inappropriate for the age group they’re targeting. The word bait springs to mind.
Very, very wrong. Those boots are so not suitable and as for the full face of make up, never mind the clothes. What is her mother thinking of?
Quite honestly, you'd have to question the sanity of any parent who actually BOUGHT this stuff for their child... whatever happened to a bit of parental guidance... control even?? It seems these days that too many parents believe they are entirely at the mercy of "peer pressure" and don't have the right to tell their kids NO when what they want is inappropriate. Ridiculous!
OHMYGOD!!!
Minging!!
I can write no more, I need to vomit...
