Makeup for Children | The Case of the False Eyelashes

I thought I'd put my penny's worth in about this latest issue, so here goes:

Makeup for Children | The Case of the False Eyelashes

Peter Andre described the picture of his two year daughter wearing “full makeup”* as “disgusting” on GMTV (the channel for celebrity **** stirring).  He over-reacted.   It was left to Alex Reid to mention that little girls like to dress up like their mothers.  Alex is right and Peter has shot himself in the foot.

Families Need Fathers aka Fathers Need families When it Suits Them aka Fathers Need Families

Now that Peter is divorced from Katie he really needs to get off her bandwagon, otherwise people are going to start suspecting his motives.  Andre is not playing a clever game nowadays – this could be out of desperation following Alex Reid’s reincarnation on Celebrity Big Brother.  That said, for Andre to use his kids is beneath contempt.  That’s what this outburst did, it used his kids.

If Peter Andre wants to redeem himself he wants to admit that he over reacted.  He could blame it on the pressure of being without his kids and living with the fact that another man is now in their lives.  That would be understandable.

Criticising Normal Behaviour

Now, back to what little girls like doing.  Most little girls and some boys like to dress up like their mothers.  The most commonly seen dressing up is kids wearing their mothers' shoes.  There is something very comical about seeing toddlers attempt to walk in too large, high heeled shoes and most of us think “how sweet” and not "how disgusting".   It is a stage children go through.  Many little girls have dressing up boxes.  At a young age they want to look like their mothers – this won’t last forever as, by the time they are teenagers and if they revolt (as is normal too) they want to look nothing like their parents.  This phenomenon is partly responsible for new and outlandish teenage trends from punk to the latest jeans worn pulled down to reveal knickers. 

What Little Girls Do

For a little girl to look like their Katie Price like mother one of the most necessary elements to get right would be her eyelashes.  Katie has eyelash extensions AND wears two pairs of false eyelashes.  There was nothing sinister about this so if you’re on your high horse about this episode – get off it.

*quote from a headline on the inferior Handbag gossip website.  Don’t bother with that site - stay here.  Take my word for it that Katie’s daughter was not wearing “full makeup” saying that she was is just a way of upping the anti.
