Would you allow?

Your 10 year old daughter to wear red lipstick?

Alex · 01-17-2010, 06:54 PM

When and where?

Playing soccer, probably not. Turning tricks, probably so.

Nephythys · 01-17-2010, 07:00 PM

LOL-

My daughter is arguing with me about my rule of no red lipstick. I told her that she could wear pinks and pastel lip glosses...but no red. I might let her wear red on a special night out-like to the theatre or something. But not for an everyday thing-

I vote yes. But this may be why I own a dog and not kids.

You let your dog wear red lipstick?

Is red lipstick bad? Honestly, being a guy, I have no clue. ???

BarTopDancer · 01-17-2010, 07:25 PM

At 10? I'd probably allow it in dress up play but probably not out and about. How red are we talking about? Hooker red, pinkish red or purple red?

I wasn't allowed to wear anything other than Lip Smackers at 10.

Zing!

Honestly, I never looked at red lipstick as any more "whorish" than any other color. And I would think that overall make-up application would be more determinate of one's Whore Level than specific color. Is this really a thing that chicks have to deal with?

Me thinks that when we pop out kids, I'm doomed if it's girls...

I think the general thinking is that some colors are (by design or otherwise) more likely to draw attention to the lips than others and that there's really no reason people need their attention drawn to a 10-year-old's lips.

But, except for dressing up, I'd also think there's not really any reason at all for a 10-year-old to be wearing any make-up. I honestly have no idea how I'd go on the issue. I guess I'd start with investigating why she thinks she wants to wear red lipstick (or any other make-up) and "because my friends are" isn't going to be a good reason.
