From here:
A recent feature in J. Crew’s online catalogue portrays designer Jenna Lyons painting her son Beckett’s toe nails hot pink. The quote accompanying the image reads, “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.”
Yeah, well, it may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid-and maybe a little for others who’ll be affected by your “innocent” pleasure.
Is this the slippery pink slope to lipstick, eyeliner, high-heels and pre-teen gender reassignment? Personally, knowing the reaction it would have created in school, I wouldn’t have let my mother paint my toenails at that age however much she liked pink – and she did. But, unlike today, schools were sane in the middle-ages when I attended.
