DEREON GIRLS COLLECTION AD CLOTHING LINE TOO ADULT

People are buzzing about the ad for the Dereon Girls collection. The little girls in the ad are wearing alot of make up, tight hip hugging clothes and high heels. One child who doesn't look a day over six is posed with her hand on her hip facing the camera.  Many people are saying that these children look too grown up and appear to have lost their childhood and innocence. In our opinion the ad looks like it's in the same category as kiddie porn. Just because Beyonce was running around and rehearsing in high heels when she was a child doesn't mean that other people's children should have to dress up like grown women. It's up to the parents to determine what is appropriate for their children to wear. Here's Brown Sista's opinion:

Clothing for pre-teens are as tight, hip hugging and revealing as clothing for grown women. I have even seen thongs for little girls and you know that ain’t right. So on one level I can look at the ad and the clothing and think the kids are cute in a “dress up like my mama kind of way”. However, if these are actual clothing and shoes from the Dereon Girls line, I will not be supporting it. Dereon Girls needs to look more girl-ish and less woman-ish or this line will go the way of their high end Dereon line- down the toilet. source Watch Beyonce and her mom discuss the sexiness of the House of Dereon line with Extra.

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. source

Ugh. I'm sorry, but there is no way I would ever dress my child like a whore like that. I plan on bringing my child up to an adult, not a skank. And it irrtates me even more that the four commenters above me lack even basic linguistic skills.

Ladies, I promise, puntuation and capitalization are your friends.
