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 Beyonce 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 ads 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 lipstick, blush and face powder.
Draped in bling, several girls sport leather jackets and studded accessories.
One child wears sparkly, high heels (more pint-size Pussycat Doll than Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz") and another slouches, gangsta gal-style, with a neon-pink boa, leopard-skin fedora and stilettos.

She probably knows better. It might have been a newspaper person's error??
And the clothes you put your kid in today would offend your grandparents.
Ant the clothes your grandchildren will wear will offend you.
Heck, I’m such a conservative, the clothes I wore in the 70’s offends me.
Well, yeah, I mean c’mon - if 70’s clothing didn’t offend you, I’d say you had a screw loose ;)
Yow! Those sky-high heels can’t be good for young, growing feet!

I needed that laugh this morning.....
There are so many things wrong with these outfits that it is hard to list. I think they are tacky, gaudy, uncomfortable and inapproproiate for toddlers/young girls and yes, make them look like tarts, but not necessarily skimpy. However, put a full body leotard on a woman and although it doesn’t show a lot of skin, it is not appropriate for daywear to the office or a PTA meeting.
Preteens with their butts hanging out of their jeans (thong on display) and flabby bellies are just as bad in my opinion, although their parents are not dressing them, for the most part. My concern is that parents are choosing to dress their very small children as hip-hop-gangster girls with attitude.
