i'm teaching myniece early (she's 5) that beauty is pain. i've somehow managed to squeeze my big feet into some size 8 1/2 painfully high heels. i explained to my niece that beauty is pain and shoes can be sexy. she4 tried on a pair of mine and agreed they were sexy. i'm not concerned with sending her the wrong message (no lectures please. ask anyone who plucks their eyebrows or any of the numerous other painful beauty rituals all of us do). most little girls (especially these) are concerned with beign pretty. but, maybe i should have waited a few years before reinforcing how concerned aunt kk is with looking beautiful. that's horrible, isn't it?
