I remember after the ToJo's meet a few years back when we were leaving the restaurant and Darkbeer started (very obviously) to distract Tori when we passed the new LibbyLu. I asked him what he was up to and he said he didn't want her to be sucked in by the 'Prostitot' place. Later, when we saw the tarted up little Jonbenet's on their daily parade I was very grateful. Kids don't realize what that shyt's about- they just see the glitter and pretty bling and think it's fun. She still remembers that, and I think his attitude toward the place helped to lessen the allure, as she never seemed interested on subsequent trips. Later, when she was in dance, I saw the same sort of weirdness, but luckily she was in Hip/Hop and they just got to wear cool clothes.:D

Dear WendyBeth,

Thanks for raising our ToriBear...to be as normal as a LoTter can be, and thank God she knows not to wear P-pink high heel shoes.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

I have a confession, Lashstoat- she did have a pair when she was four. It came in an innocuous looking Princess Trunk that contained a variety of pinky-bling Princess items, but luckily she has her mother's graceful athletic abilities and she couldn't go more than a meter on them. In her defense, they did have pretty purple feathers on them- I understand the initial attraction, but her La Gasse genes kicked in and when she realized they were uncomfortable she kicked them to the curb. I hope she continues to exhibit this attitude in life, particularly when she starts dating .

Now I know what to buy for Taylor for her birthday ;)

I couldn't find any software, but I did find this:

In the 2nd link the Wizard of Oz is actually cute.

Those kids don't need photo-shopping done :( The only truly disturbing one that I noticed on the main page was the bathing suit one.

They remind me of The Stepford Wives - or in this case, The Stepford Babies.

Truly gross.
