Beyonce’s new brand of pedophilia chic
If you thought the soft-porn image of Disney teen queen Miley Cyrus—wearing nothing but ruby-stained lips and a bedsheet—in Vanity Fair magazine was disturbing, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Pop diva Beyoncé Knowles, 27, and her fashion designer mother have launched a girls clothing line that makes Miley’s bare-backed glam session look like a Shirley Temple photo shoot.
The Knowles’ family business, “House of Dereon,” recently published advertisements for its “Dereon Girls Collection” with young models who look no older than my second-grade daughter. They are seductively posed and tarted up, JonBenet Ramsey-style, with bright lipstick, blush and face powder. Draped in bling, several of the girls sport leather jackets and studded accessories.
One of the children wears sparkly, killer high heels (more pint-size Pussycat Doll than Dorothy from “The Wizard of the Oz”) and another slouches, gangsta gal-style, with a neon pink boa, leopard-skin fedora and stilettos. An even younger model is a toddler-aged Beyoncé Mini-Me with huge hair, skinny jeans, spike-heeled leather boots and attitude to match:
Abercrombie & Fitch prompted an outrage a few years ago with its line of thongs for elementary school girls and pedophilia chic catalogues. And, of course, Calvin Klein started it all with 15-year-old Brooke Shields purring that “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins.” But the House of Dereon photo spread sinks even lower. It’s sick and it’s wrong, and it’s not social conservatives who first said so. Fashion and celebrity websites have been buzzing with outrage over the past week:
“Pimp my kid,” decried one blogger. “Dereon Girls ad too adult,” concluded another. Gossip king Perez Hilton polled readers on whether the ad was appropriate. The overwhelming consensus: Hell, no.
The creepiness factor is heightened by the fact that women were responsible for marketing this child exploitation. I’d ask: “Where was Beyoncé’s mother to tell her daughter to wipe all the gunk off the Dereon models’ faces?” But Beyoncé’s mother—who has helped manage the “Bootylicious” singer’s career from childhood—is her eager and willing partner in crime.
As for the mothers of this new crop of Little Girls Gone Wild models, they were undoubtedly thrilled to see their daughters painted up and posing like Victoria’s Secret angels-in-training. If we’ve learned anything from Lindsay Lohan and her hard-partying mother, it’s that the Lolita-posing apple doesn’t fall far from the bosom-flaunting tree.
So, what’s next? Nine-year-olds performing stripper routines? Oh, wait. It’s been done already. I saw that very nightmare last fall on the cable TV reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”—featuring the grade-school-age daughters of Olympic star Bruce Jenner strapping on stilettos and twirling around a stripper pole in their parents’ bedroom as friends and family cheered them on. Future House of Dereon clients, no doubt.
Beyoncé’s clothes, you should know, are available at Macy’s department stores and other “fine” establishments willing to carry titillating tot wear. Shame on them all. Shame them all. It’s time to redouble our efforts to fight back against the Forever 21 culture that poisons Hollywood, Halloween, prom season and every season in between. In our indecent world, 7 has become the new 21.
Shouldn’t a child’s innocence last longer than a porn star’s .25-ounce pot of lip gloss?

Very simple solution: Parents, tell your children No! Market dries up. Simple solution. Fixed. Done.
I see this, the story yesterday about the prom dress, and I wonder what happened to our children’s innocence. It used to be that young, sweet girls were young, sweet girls until they were old enough to leave home. Now, it seems, innocence ends when they stop crawling. Incredibly sad.
Perversion for dollars.
little girls have been dressing up for years in moms oversized dresses and heels putting on a fashion show at home and playing dress up, no harm no foul. but, dressing these children in outfits for everyday wear is sick and playing right in to the sickos who prey on kids. heels for kids? please. how good is that for growing feet?
Beyonce…..um sorry hun but you might want to rethink this clothing line. Little “hoochie mama” clothing for kids is not a good idea.
Sadly, Its more than Beyonce’s line. I have a 13 month old and some of the clothes she has been given as gifts are too mature for our taste. A shirt that is tied in front as if it is highlighting the boobs (if she had any)- that brand is Trendy Girl. She has a pair of jeans and matching jean jacket and the jeans have a zipper and button (size 12 mos). No kid not even walking yet needs a zipper on the jeans. She has never worn the jacket because it is fitted and too hard to put on. They are such a pain!! She also has some hand me downs and I would swear the style is supposed to be hip hugging flare bottoms. Why have hip huggers on a kid wearing a diaper that comes up past the belly button?? Thank God there are still some classic styles out there like Carters and Osh Kosh.
the slutification of tots has begun, eh? this is pretty sick.
some pedophile is thanking the Knowles for their… fashion sense.
I’m starting to think I’m in a seriously small minority in this country. Fashion for pedophiles, TV for people with attention deficit disorder, politics for narcissists……
Malkin, I think you have found your voice here. As long as you can start staying away from politics, maybe this country won’t continue to descend into Pelosi and Reid’s playground.
Sick. Just sick.
School uniforms. I recently saw a group of students dressed under Hartford CT’s new school uniform code, and they looked like young professionals rather than gang members and their beyotches (sp?).
The slutification of young girls will continue as long as alleged talents like Beyonce and her mom are supported by young wannabes.
As long as the ACLU comes out from under its rock to “defend” the “rights” of youngsters to wear whatever they please to school, this will persist.
Does Beyonce and her mom really need the money?
“House of Dereon…”
And what kind of house would that be?
I suppose the same people who have their infants’ ears pierced will provide a market for this garbage.
None of my six young granddaughters will be wearing any.
A pox on this house.
I can’t find it right now in my archives but a lady pundit or blogger coined the term prostitots or something similar for this style of dressing.
For me that is fairly close to the mark to describe what it looks like.
I have an 2 year old daughter that I would NEVER allow to wear this kind of trash. This is not something your children should be wearing in public. Let them be kids.
Besides…Beyonce isnt exactly what i’d consider a role model for kids anyway. How’s her gangsta-boo Jay-Z doing anyway? Wonder if he’s still degrading women, advocating thug behavior and drug use….yeah, still doing those too.
How would Beyonce, with that alongside her, be someone to look up to or emulate?
Because people are fools for hollywood, for “artists” like these 2 blights of society, and for the crap they see on TV. And they’ll fall in line with whatever if they think it will make their kids popular.
I believe my grandmother would call it “A House of Ill Repute”.
The urban slut look. Hmmmm?
Whether it’s demeaning women, advocating violence or glorifying drugs, today’s music icons seem to not have a problem with making money of debauchery and exploitation.
“I believe my grandmother would call it ‘A House of Ill Repute’.”
Ah, you caught my drift, abstractmind. And here I thought I was being too subtle and, er, abstract…
We have to be so careful with our girls! I have a 7 and 5 year old and I try and keep the clothes decent for them.
Thankfully, my oldest is a modest girl anyway and she thinks clothes that show the midriff and that are cut too low in the front are “inappropriate” (that is her word for it!)
Now ….. the challenge is to keep her thinking that way!
hahaha,
nah, right on target
picked up that reference right away 
and jen…good for you! sounds like you’ve done a good job so far.
even though i’m not 100% about the source, the idea is correct. Raise a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
bonus points for who can tell me (exactly) where thats from
I think the House of Dereon was a choice to link to what they really wanted which was “House of Derrier”.
They sure are not far away from excessive worship of it.
Pedophiles have been creeping closer and closer to the main stream for some time. How long before it becomes just another “lifestyle choice”? If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. Its a quote from someone but I forget who.
Can someone post the email address AND phone number for the CEO of Federated department stores so I can tell them where I WON’T be shopping
HEY ABSTRACT:
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:5-7
But how’s ’bout this one:
Ephesians 6:4
4Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
OR EVEN HERE:
Titus 2 (New International Version)
New International Version
Titus 2
What Must Be Taught to Various Groups
1You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. 2Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
6Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
The sad thing is when I was a kid in New Zealand, it was normal to let the younger kids run arround naked on the beach. You could never do that now because of the perverts that clothes like this play to. Kids used to be considered off limits sexualy. Not anymore.

Will an overview with all of their executives listed work?
the main site is listed as http://www.federated-fds.com
i cant see that one for some reason, love my firewall at work
hope that helps.
While this clothing concept for children is definitely not new, I must say I’m still honestly shocked to see an entire clothing line that makes children look like street-walkers. High heels for kids?!
But it’s not just feathered boas and stilettos that are a problem in young girl’s clothing… the t-shirts that little girls wear often surprise me. At the store the other day I saw a girl - young enough to be riding in her mom’s shopping cart - wearing a tee that said “I’m looking for Mr. Right Now.” What a lesson to teach a child. My husband had to stop me from telling that mother what I thought right there.
Who’s going to buy this overpriced, gaudy fashion? The poor minorities who look up to Beyonce as a role model. Do we want them spending the money they don’t have on expensive, ugly fashion?
This project has already FAILed on so many levels.
well done
bonus points earned 
again, i dont follow or agree with the source…but wisdom comes in many forms and from many places. the idea, even if i dont agree with the religion, is spot on.
For what I do subscribe to, i think, works equally well.
Teach children virtues like rectitude, honor, respect, courage, loyalty, benevolence, and honesty. Teach them to be wise, respect their elders and parents, and to live a full life by being educated and enjoying the blessings given to them…so far worked for me
By the way, I never thought Beyoncé and her mom had much fashion sense between them anyway. I mean, can we really be surprised considering this is from their juniors collection?
This is all a part of how permissivness , political correctness , no discipline , me, me , me , in yo face ,there are no rules , anything goes ” progressive ”
world begins to destroy itself from within.
Last year I enrolled in adult school to take a class on a subject I needed to brush up on……. I was stunned by what I saw.The ” Teacher ” dressed in sweats and fuzzy slippers . Most of the students were just out of high school and there was even one girl who went to class nearly everytime wearing pajamas and flipflops…..The verbal interaction between the teacher and the students would NEVER have been tolerated back when I was in school….. And no one other than my wife and I thought this was odd…..
It’s no wonder that it was degraded down to this level………
I am truely saddened by this total lack of morals this society has now.
I was down at the mall the other day and about an 8 or 9 year old with her parents had on a Tshirt that at the top said “under construction” but at about the waistline had an arrow pointing downward with the words “fully functional”.
“House of
DereonDerision”There, I fixed it for you…
Wheres Plastic Palosi and her ’save the children” campaign now ? Knowles should also be ashamed of herself. Why do they all think 9yr. old girls should worry about looking sexy at school ? It reminds me of South Park !
As if we need yet another reminder of the decline in western so-called culture.
The idiots who design this crap, and then dress their children in it, are the same people that don’t have a clue as to why Middle Eastern cultures hate the west! They like to pretend that it’s because of all the trumped up transgressions of the U.S., but reality is in the pictures of those children.
A major reason why they hate us, is not only religious differences, but because liberals tolerate, and even encourage this insanity!!!
Well, no doubt we disapprove of this simply we’re sex-deprived prudes too thick realize this line of clothing is the Next. Big. Thing.
Holy hell. I swat my son on the butt, I’m a class A felon but if I let my daughter out in public in a t-shirt that all but encourages pedophiles and other pervs to have their way with her, I’m a ‘cool parent’…
I really wanted a daughter but now I’m not so sure. How the hell do you raise girls who don’t turn out to be sex objects, anorexics/bulimics, or otherwise trashed by a culture that does not give two s**ts about their well being?
But remember, folks, people like the Duggars in Arkansas are “weird” because the girls wear long dresses and don’t cut their hair. At least their daughters look like girls, rather than something straight off the Vegas strip…
Please remember that the children don’t have jobs to pay for this stuff. Just like the obese 11 year olds who eat at fast food restaurants every day, some adult has to be paying for it.
Wow, I think you win the award for “Most Inappropriate T-Shirt Sighting.” That is out of control.
Hi, Welcome to Raisins!
This will single-handedly do wonders for race relations with our sharia neighbors.
I just love libtards like Madonna, Beyonce, the majority of Hollyweird and the majority of “fashion” designers who scream about US foreign policy being the death of us all, but who then throw gasoline onto the Islamic fire by pumping out their “delicious deviance.”
At least the JonBenet Ramsey ilk kept their excrement-show behind closed, convention center doors. Libs just love to throw their crap on the walls for the whole world to see.
I agree 100%. I don’t blame the girls. I blame the culture, and the parents, that think it’s okay for your daughter to dress in a fashion inappropriate for all women, regardless of their age.
Line from the movie Absolute Power spoken by E.G. Marshall, “It’s easy to sell sin.”
How much sin are folks [like the House of Dereon] willing to sell? I figure pretty much all of it.
And we sit here wondering why the girl in Houston thought it was ok to go to the prom dressed like a hooker.
When they start dressing like this at such a young age we can now see why.
I figure I’ve been a fuddy-
duddydaddy for more than 15 years - certainly won’t stop now. I also realize that some people are slaves to fashion and will wear what “celebrities” wear (or sell) no matter what. I feel badly for people who think that dressing like celebrity gives them value.I’m blessed that my 15-year-old has the sense to dress appropriately (even if high-school dance dresses - very modest ones - are freaking said dad out right now…) My youngest still goes with the boring stuff that Mom and Dad buy - so we’re good for a while.
I agree, except I lay 100% of the blame on the parents. They make the choice for their children to wear this garbage. The culture is out there, yes, but…the parents can resist it if they have any shred of decency.
Who knew dressing little girls up like street walkers was an underutilized market? This brain-child should have been dropped down the memory hole. Sad fate is, you will see little black girls dressed up in this crap.
You know For Us By Us… gotta help keep Beyonce in her Manolo Blahniks.
EQ -
Yes, I suppose I’m sex-deprived; I haven’t had any action in almost 12 hours! Must be something wrong with me. Thick? Like a tank. Thick-headed? Hardly.
A similar version to the Tshirt I saw at the mall the other day, the implied message is clear
http://www.thekidalog.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/18/prostitot_2.jpg
I’m usually pretty relaxed with kids wanting to play dress up, but this is way over the top.
mymanpotsandpans,
yes. I recall that line from “I’m a Survivor” guess that was just fleeting…
There’s the problem - we’ve got too many parents wanting the “best” for their children (best being defined as the latest, coolest, trendiest….) Denying their kids nothing, and later wondering what went wrong.
Yeah, that was the charged leveled against us in the prom dress thread, in this comment.
Russ N,
I think you’re on target.
I guess what I want thats best for my kids (you know, stuff like a good education, the best opportunities to grow and live a full life and be decent human beings) is asking a bit much in today’s culture.
Man this makes me feel old LOL.
And don’t forget, big-media auction blocks, like MTV and the Oprah Show, are the megaphones for this type of crap.
I’ve seen clips of Oprah peddling for a “rapper” and his line of pants which make the female “azzz” look like a giant apple, because that’s the way “true thugs” like their women to look.
I’ve seen clips of Oprah peddling for this Beyonce, standing up and emulating her “booty shake” by sticking out her “azzz” and making it bounce like a paint can mixer at Hoe Depot.
Soon enough, Oprah will have an entire show devoted to this pedophilia-line of clothing, including a runway show complete with screaming, robotic, female audience members.
You and me both, and I’m only 28.
Now all these prostitots need is a tramp stamp to boot.
The basis for all of this is that many young parents today don’t see parenthood as raising children. They see it as raising a “perfect little friend” for themselves. I use quotes there, because I heard my girlfriend’s friend use those exact words.
So, they dress their children the way they think their “perfect little friend” would want to be dressed. . .never thinking of the child as a child.
It’s truly disturbing.
My daughter is 18 months old, and I dress her like an 18 month old. What toddler/preschooler needs to dress like a hooker?? You can get arrested for not sending your kid to school, but not for dressing your daughter like a street-walker. How is it not obvious to these parents that you’re pretty much giving strangers permission to look at your kids in an inappropriate manner?
Also, I remember when I was in middle school/high school when the Spice Girls were cool so everyone wanted platform shoes, and one of the morning news shows did a thing about how bad they were for developing feet. I can only imagine what a pair of stiletto heels would do!!
/gag
Wow, that is just without words. Yikes. Excuse me while I go puke.
I’m only 25 and I feel waaaay out of touch and old. Indeed, the way I choose to live my life is now counter-cultural.
And the more crap like this gets pushed into the mainstream, the more counter-culutral I want to be.
Thankfully there is a backlash already in progress.
Evidence of the backlash:
* The Web sites ModestApparelUSA.com and ModestByDesign.com (whose slogan is “Clothing your father would be proud of”) say their sales have rocketed in the last year-and-a-half.
* In what became a highly publicized incident, 11-year-old Ella Gunderson wrote retail giant Nordstrom an angry letter after she couldn’t find anything but low-cut hip-huggers and ultra-tight tops on a shopping trip. The shy redhead unwittingly vaulted herself into the national media spotlight, where she became the unofficial spokesperson for modest fashions. And a couple of years ago, a group of Arizona teenagers sent Dillards a petition asking for more modest clothing choices, and the lower-cost retailer complied.
* A new book, Generation S.L.U.T., by 21-year-old American University student Marty Beckerman, lays bare the over-sexed environment that surrounds kids, and the book is serving as a wake-up call to adults. “The stuff coming from prepubescent children was really pretty shocking,” says Beckerman. “These kids are talking about doing everything under the sun.”
It’s a good thing my stomach was empty when I looked at those pictures. They make adult centerfolds look wholesome.
I’m with you guys. At 25 I am often made to feel like an out of touch dinosaur. Out of touch with trends in fashion and entertainment? Most likely. But they are the ones who are out of touch with reality, decency and morality, the concept of consequences, etc. Frankly, I would much rather be a 25-year-old dinosaur.
I don’t have any children, so that might contribute to me not getting this, but could someone please tell me why these clothes are so terrible? Other than their general ugliness of course.
The clothes may look too adult, but that doesn’t equate to “slutty” or to something that would appeal to a pedophile. There isn’t any skin showing which is an upgrade from the clothes sold to kids at places like Wet Seal.
Actually, the whole pedophilia angle is a bit offensive. Pedohiples usually go after children they know. Not children who dress a certain way.
Rusty,
I don’t have children yet either, but if you did, would you think it okay for them to wear high heels? Boas? Make up?
So that makes me, at 30, ancient LOL.
And to me, fashion is what is functional and comfortable. Jeans and a clean tshirt when i can…at work, its a bit more businesslike.
And besides, i look GOOD in jeans
Back to subject.
I agree with EQ about going counter-culture. Its the only way i’ve actually felt productive as a parent, is to keep them from being like everyone elses perfect snowflakes that dress in the latest trends.
Same here, EQ! (Except I’ve got a couple months to go before I’m 25.) The counter-culture went from being an actual “counter-culture” to a bunch of people who want to be different– just like everyone else. The true counter-culture has become those people who still choose to live their lives morally.
Oh, and I have to ask… Offensive to who?
I agree, my daughter now 15 was telling me about one of her classes, the teacher asked everyone to put their cell phones on her desk that if she caught them with one texting in class that it would be taken away and their parents would have to come and pick them up 23 out of 28 kids put cell phones on her desk, the teacher asked the remaining students if they had one, everyone kept it simple by answering no, except for my little darling that has an opinion about everything, she said ” No I do not, let me tell you why, I don’t need a cell phone at school because I don’t run a business, I don’t have children that may need to contact me and I am at school and need to listen to what my teachers are trying to teach me so in the future I can run that business, have those children and live a comfortable life, the teacher laughed and said “Thank you for that.”
As for clothes she is a modest dresser only what is appropriate as she also says, you can’t see anything on her I think she wears 5 or 6 layers.
Anyone who’s walked through an urban shopping mall will understand that Beyonce’s new line of ‘pedophilia chic’ will soon move to the top of the single-mama cash expenditure list - crowds of young ladies on public assistance, yet strolling their babies around in designer clothing (Hilfiger, Phat Pharm, Sean John, Timberland, etc.) that costs more than a month’s supply of Pampers and Pediasure combined.
But remember: Big Tobacco, Bad - Beyonce Knowles, Good.
Sexual exploitation of young children for profit is evil - the picture of Miley Cyrus sitting between her father’s legs and gazing into his eyes made me nauseous. Looked incestuous. Let kids be kids!
I saw that. I also laughed at it.
Rings of the craziness we saw with poor Jon Bonnett Ramsey (sp?).
This is awful.
Those little girls look ridiculous. It is very Halloweenish. As to Beyonce and her mom? Once again it just goes to show. Money cant buy you class.
If your ancient, I guess that makes me prehistoric.
I’ve been threatening for weeks to charge our 15yr-old by the garment on laundry day…
Those 5 and 6 layers always get thrown the laundry at the end of the day.
Rusty,
I can see where not having kids would give a different perspective, and that’s fair. Sometimes its hard to see how parents react to things, or why, when one doesn’t have children. I was sort of the same way, before I had mine. Not to the extreme of thinking this stuff was ok, but i sometimes didn’t understand why parents did things…and now, i understand rather well.
The big problem with this is, if you’ll examine the picture, is the “maturity” involved with the clothing. Replace those clothes (and appropriately sized, of course) on someone 3 times their age. Would that be appropriate? Well, moreso than this, certainly. But not placing them on a toddler.
It runs along the vein, I think anyway, of having our kids grow up WAY too early. I dont want my 2 year old to look like she’s 22. I want her to grow up and be a child. By rushing kids to act (and dress) like they’re older, I believe it robs them of the childhood they so richly deserve…it is something that can never be repeated or replaced. I want my children to grow up…i want my daughter to be 2 going on 3, and my son to be 1 going on 2…not 2 going on 23, and 1 going on 22.
And for some reason, I find dressing my daughter or son up in something that makes them look like they’re about to go to the club…just seems wrong to me. And does to most parents who hold some sort of decency standard.
my 2 cents.
LMAOROF
I’ve thought the exact same thing.
I just called Macy’s to cancel my account. I explained why and then said I would not return to the stores or their website until they get rid of the offending kiddie porn apparel.
My job involves trying to sort through the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, and find ways to help children who have been victimized by others who found them “sexually irresistible”.
Don’t believe it when you’re told that sexual abuse of children is not on the rise, but merely “coming out of the shadows to be reported more frequently”. Baloney. It IS on the rise, and it’s because of twisted crap like this. Shame on Beyonce.
We’re living in “The Age of Vulgarity”.
I love capitalism. Speak with your pocketbook!
This is just sickening. I will never allow my 10 yo dear daughter to ever dress like this.
I am considered the “oddball” mom at the figure skating rink because I NEVER let her wear midriff revealing skating costumes. I always put on her costume show orders NO BELLY REVEALING COSTUMES. The great thing about that is that the other 10 - 15 girls in her group numbers won’t be showing off their bellies either
But Con, thats not faaaaaiiirrrr!!!! What if their perfect little snowflakes WANT to be like that? you’re being too conservative, and thus, you’re apparently going to have to STHU and get in line.
/sarc off
Good for you, keep it up
Ridiculous stuff. Any parent who would let a little girl wear that kind of stuff is an idiot. Roger abstractmind’s thoughts on this subject.
And in remote parts of China and Mongolia foot binding of female children probably still does occur.
Is there really that much difference in the two so far as sexually objectifying children is concerned?
Dakine…agreed.
and Morning.
Thanks Abstract! Fortunately I haven’t had any flack about it. I’m not afraid of those pot*tart parents, though! Bring it on! I wouldn’t hesitate to inform them how slutty their 10 year olds look
In a nice, conservative, christian way, of course!
This is sick. That being said, you could put crap on a stick with a famous persons name on it and it will sell.
I speak with my wallet. We will not spend money with corporations who sell this kind of “product”.
Jonbenet Ramsey could not be reached for comment.
dakine, feebie, thanks. i just call it as i see it.
and con, go get um
Is anyone surprised that Rusty defends this sleeze.
He talks as if he is an expert on pedophilia.
#31…you have my permission to slap both parents up side their empty heads!
It seems so bizarre that the same Limousine Liberals that come to the defense of ANY America hating Muslim, are the same folks that create the very crap that the Muslims hate so much in the first place ! And these catalogs are just one example.
Better.
the whole thing makes me itch. they are setting these kids up for a whole lotta unwanted attention.
Seriously sick stuff.
Rusty writes,
Dude, what….you think pedophiles who “know” these kids won’t seek to abuse them, or that these kids will be wearing these clothes only in the safety of their parents’ watchful eye? They go to preschool. They go to kindergarten. They go to church. Any of these places can place children at risk of a sicko who is finally pushed to offend because of the twisted way he or she views a child. Besides, what do you know about pedophiles anyway?
So we have our “starlets” (Spear, Hilton, Ritchie, Lohan) cavorting sans panties, poon for all to see, and we are surprised at this?
Liberals and Hollywood selling smut one pre-schooler at a time.
Rusty…violent crime is 90% opportunity.
Do you think children’s chances of being a victim would be more or less dressed like this?
THe whole thing is disturbing……URGH.
Vicki, the liberal positon is thus:
If something is immoral the liberal twists like a pretzel to support it. It is either a RIGHT to be immoral, or there is no real harm they’ll say. You are just an uptight Neo-Con trying to force your religion on people. If it feels good, do it. You can always go to Planned Parenthood for a freebie later.
Dude, that picture is worth 1000 words, none of them good.
I expect to be eviscerated for saying it, but on top of all layers of disturbing things (that I absolutely agree with and am greatly saddened by) I notice one other.
The little Asian girl – I’m wildly guessing that is supposed to be some kind of Spanish/Flamenco/Bullfighting sort of get up. But her shoes, aside from the height of the heel look very much to me like the Lotus shoes Chinese women wore after the foot-binding process…and all that that implies.

any childrena brain, or a lick of common sense, so that might contribute to me not getting this, but could someone please tell me why these clothes are so terrible? Other than their general ugliness of course.Thre, fixed…
Just as an amusing aside…
the firewall here at work is set to block out “objectionable” content, ya know, like porn and stuff.
I cant click on the House Of Dereon link, its blocked.
Thought that was slightly telling, and amusing.
I’m not surprised. Just like I am not surprised when people try and defend the AG who killed himself on the To Catch a Predator show and complain the show is entrapment. I am thankful that show was aired, it showed in no uncertain terms just how prevalent pedophilia is in this country and thanks to people like Michelle and countless others for reporting on it so those asleep at the wheel can try and stop this train before it crashes.
Not suprised as he defends college sex week. This is the result of defining deviancy down. Soon it will be be college kiddie porn week and those of us that oppose it will be derided as sexually frustrated conservative prudes.
BTW, I have a Macy’s card (which I rarely use) I will be taking this opportunity to cut it up into small pieces and send it to their marketing department with a letter explaining that their promotion of this product line is the reason. They are free to market this filth and I am free to shop elsewhere. I love capitalism!
This is just disgusting. I have a 10 year old and a 4 year old, both girls. My husband is 6′6 tall and I’m 5′11. My kids have no choice in their height. They look older because of how tall they are. My 10 year old looks 14-15, but over my dead body she will leave this house with:
1) Short shorts or short skirts.
2) Short shirts that show the belly.
3) No wearing make-up until 16.
4) No shaving your legs until 12.
5) Platform shoes or any shoes with a heel.
6) When my daughters are done developing, THERE WILL BE NO CLEAVAGE TO BE SEEN!
My daughters don’t have one piece of clothing that isn’t offensive. And if they get something for their birthdays or Christmas that I find offensive, I’m not afraid to ask for the receipt to exchange the gift. Kids need to be kids! This just came to mind. A quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
“It is no use to preach to [children] if you do not act decently yourself.”
If anything happens to children that proudly wears clothing that makes them look like a whore, then it’s the parents fault and they should be punished!
I knew what you meant, just wanted to help out
And thank you for being a role model for your children.
Copy that. Kudos momm1e!
and btw, I think Chris Hanson should get a medal for taking these perverts down.
Another sign of societies loss of morals and values…Gomorrah ring a bell.
Left wing morals and values, none.
When I first looked at this ad, my eyes scanned right past the little black and white girls. I focused right on the little Asian girl dressed up like a cheap whore, and my heart broke.
Most of the Asian-American girls I have known over the years have been impeccably raised (extremely civil, usually tops in their academic class and/or highly proficient in the musical arts.
I think to myself, why in the world would Beyonce want to debase such a predominately successful cultural example like Asian Americans, and pull these bright, talented and polite girls down to her “hooker” culture level?
What benefit does this poor fashion experiment provide, other than to Beyonce Knowles’ pocketbook?

ugh..lets rush to defend people caught on tape as being pedophiles.
Thank you alaskangrizzly. I was fired up and my fingers were typing a little to fast.
BrianNY,
I understand the sentiment of your post. However, I have to take issue with the “it’s okay for the black and white little girls to be exploited but asians, no way.” This is unacceptable. Period. Regardless of their nationalities.
Additionally, I had the opposite reaction, all I saw were little black girls dressed in this provocative way. I just don’t see many other families buying into this. I could be wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time.
Just know you aren’t alone. Very, very similar rules in our house.
The only times my 15yr-old has worn make-up is for dance-team (required) and for a dance that she went to with a bunch of female friends - and the friends’ parents have similar standards as we do. Another blessing, my teenager has chosen good friends to hang around with.
I thought parents were to protect their children’s innocence, and not try to profit from it. I think Shameful is too light a word.
Teen pregnancy has gone down.
Perhaps Planned Parenthood is losing its calling and shout outs for funds.
Sick Agendas are surely in place.
Maybe this will help Michelle Obama’s kid’s
This world has become so completely backwards! First, we have adults engaging in cuddle-fests; next, we have kids dressing like whores!
Only if this is part of their investment portfolio.
Kids have gotten school confused with a popularity contest. My 10 year old’s friends tell her that I’m to strict. I tell my daughter that she needs to be thankful that her Mom has common sense and they can stick their comments up their rear ends. My daughter has a 12 year old friend that we see at church every weekend and it never fails that she comes to church wearing make-up. I’m talking foundation, mascara, the works. I tell her every Sunday that she is to beautiful to be wearing all that make-up. She told me once that her Mom told her that she looks more beautiful with it on. WTH? Parents are out of control! Now she has a boyfriend and has moved out of Mom’s house to live with her Dad who gives her more “freedom”. I about threw up. Some parents need a slap on the head and to stop looking up to these horrid role models on t.v. and magazines.
The clothes typify “ghetto fabulous,” which is obnoxious but not offensive. What’s offensive is the AD. It looks like John Mark Carr’s tribute to “Superfly.” The boas, the makeup, the hair, the suggestive poses, and the mega-high heels are completely out of line for these little girls. Shame on everyone involved.
And if I ever see any mom walking along with a little girl wearing those disgusting “Under Construction/Ready For Action” shirts, I’m going to give her a piece of my mind. I don’t have kids but I hate, hate, hate how younger and younger children are being sexualized. This has been the plan of the radical left (I know, I’ve read their lit) and the pedophile industry all along.

We agree on sentiment, and I don’t think “it’s okay for black and white little girls to be exploited” as well.
I simply accept that, unlike the Asian-American social experiment, a large number of white girls, and an exponentially larger number of black girls have been lost to the culture wars for a long time now.
From 1965 to present, white single parenthood has grown from roughly 15% to 30%. In the same period, black single parenthood has grown from roughly 30% to 75%.
In the past 25 years, Asian Americans, some with only pennies to their name after they flee communist persecution abroad, have achieved such high aptitudes for higher education…that they are actually penalized in many college application processes because their representation is too LARGE! Talk about penalizing success!
I feel bad for the plight of black and white culture in America these days, but when you have people, from Oprah to Rusty, excusing deviancy as “cute” and constantly asking “what’s the big deal,” my money is on the success of viable cultures like Asian Americans which mostly have no time for inefficient, liberal philosophies.
Mommie # 106. You have the same values as my parents and myself. I wish other parents would have those same values.
Just and FYI… A couple of months ago I went to Justice for Girls and there was a table full of string bikini underwear for young girls (they start at age 6!) I complained to the manager and she told me that if I thought that was bad their sister store Limited Too has underwear with “pads in them”. I did not want to think what she meant. No $$$ going to those stores or the company (that includes Bath and Body Works and White Barn Candle Co.)
I have a 7 year old and the pressure is on! She wants Bratz dolls (which I banned), Libby Lu crap, etc. We send her to a Catholic school (our public school is CRAP!) where thank Almighty God she wears a uniform (and yes the skirt is at or below the knee!) so I do not have to deal with the fashionistas!
I do not comment very often as I would like. It is nice to know that there are other parents with values like mine out there!
Thanks for the vent! ARRRGGGHHH!!!
I have to say that this does seem to be true. Too many mothers don’t want to be moms, they want to be buddies. They want to be the Gilmore Girls. It is not appropriate and it is not a healthy way to raise a child.
Dittos in my home.
I have it doubly rough…I’m a single mom. Thankfully, her dad and step mother both have the same rules I do..we are consistant from home to home.
Thank you M0mm1e0f2G1rls ! I am so glad I am not the only one with rules similar to these.
Our rules are:
-No pierced ears until age 10.
-No skirts that go higher than the mid-thigh. (about where your fingertips are if you put your hands to your side)
No make up until age 14. And it comes in stages! First - we’ll allow lip gloss and blush. Then at 15 powder, eye shadow and mascara. Then at 16 eyeliner. No foundation.
-No shirts that show mid riff or cleavage will ever be allowed while the girls live with us.
-Nothing skin tight!
-No tube tops
-No buying clothes at the following stores: (and we live by this right now!)
Abercrombie and Fitch
Aeropostale
Hollister
Victoria’s Secret
* the list will be added to as the girls get older.
Of course, my girls are 7 and 5 but I have already thought of these.
I will be guiding their dress/attire as they are older, just like I have so far in their lives. It’s more than just saying they can’t wear this stuff - it’s making sure the kids understand why. That includes making sure my son understands why he should not date girls who dress that way (that might mean he never dates in the future!)
Pretty much everything I would say has already been said. My parenting plan is to raise my daughters to realize that clothing such as this is just plain tacky and stupid. Neither of them would be caught dead in it.
What’s next? Pre-stained blue dresses for Prom? You can have that Presidential look without all really having “seck shoe all relations with THAT WOMAN Mizz Lewinsky”.
Mom I’m still a virgin, but my dress makes people think I’m experienced!!!
#121 - BrianNY. I completely agree. Unfortunately, those are the cold hard facts that we face.
As for the black communities, it’s so ingrained and just permeates in every aspect of the culture that I am afraid all, is indeed - lost.
Oprah is a such a hypocrite and such a celeb. She decided on South Africa to build the school because as she says,
Yet, back home it’s a culture that she helps to facilitate.
This really does not surprise me,considering Bratz became the rage several years ago.Do you see what those dolls look like? prostitutes on botox.I always wondered why any parent would buy a doll like that for their daughter? We have such a difficult time finding clothes for our daughter who only dress
