It was- same as when my dad told me I could not date til I was 35.

There is a far cry from allowing a girl to wear makeup and a ponytail for a dance recital and allowing what is seen in the highly publicized photos of Jon Bonet or the pix posted by Alex above. What I see in the pagent shots/footage of 4-8 year olds (a la Jon Bonet, et. al.) is (IMHO) abhorrent and negligent behavior on the part of the parents. I DO judge them without pause.

A little makeup and a ponytail in a dance recital does NOT fall into the same catagory and I really am ambivalent about it.

....and some people do not. I just put it out there as an example.
