I just saw a piece on MSN.com about how updated versions of the cartoon characters we loved as children are getting sexy makeovers. Here's a link for your viewing pleasure.
What's humorous to me is the tease on their homepage. It lured me in on the premise that Tinkerbelle had somehow gotten a significantly shorter skirt and hourglass figure. I was intrigued because I know the movie Peter Pan pretty well. I didn't recall her getting that much of a makeover in her recent starring roles.

Am I naive to think that my early teens daughter won't be wearing four-inch heals? Am I loco for thinking not all of her friends will have exposed cleavage up to their chins? Is there not some middle ground here? Yet...at 8 and 6, my daughters are obsessed with high-heels, wearing spaghetti strapped tank tops, and lip gloss. And be assured, they don't get it from me.
It's bugging me.
