www.clublibbylu.com We found it at the mall over the weekend and had to drag our little girl crying out of the store because she wanted us to buy her one of everything...
There was an article in The Washington Post a few months ago about these stores, and how there is such a great divide between the moms who love them, and the moms that loathe them. (I'm in the 'loathe' category). I mean, it's one thing to "play princess" and encourage imaginative activities, but quite another thing to tart-up your 5 year old and teach her to bump and grind down the runway. Why, why, why does our society want to eliminate childhood, erode innocence, and turn every child into a ravenous consumer at increasingingly younger ages? THIS is the shame of America, in my opinion.
