So while we're all talking about Angelina and Brad (is it true? are they really done? why do I care so much?), let's talk about this: why is USWeekly worried about their kid wearing pants? So Shiloh wears pants: SO?
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that they noticed she often wears pants? Are they really that hard up for celebrity news?
Anyway. They had an expert – AN EXPERT – weigh in on the earth-shattering, nail-biting question of 'Do Brad & Angelina Want To Turn Shiloh Into A Boy?'
Of course the expert said 'No'. According to the expert, who was probably laughing all the way to the bank, if that is what Shiloh wants to wear, she should be fine.
In related news, my daughter wears pants 98% of the time and now USWeekly will have my nosey neighbors thinking that she might be a lesbian or cross-dresser and that I'm acting out about my disappointment in not having a boy. Trust me, I know they all subscribe to that magazine because I read their cast-offs in the laundry room every week. I'd never pay money for that stuff (unless in an airport, I have different reading rules in travel situations.)
Anyhow, when it comes to dressing my girl, pants are practical for school and frankly they make for better playground clothes. It would never dawn on me that pant-wearing might influence her sexual orientation, fetishes, or make her think we wanted a boy. Mostly because both of those things are the most ridiculous things I've heard in FOREVER.
I mean, the fact that the magazine even thought that Shiloh — who appears to be a very head-strong preschooler with parents who subscribes to the 'we ain't suppressing any free expression' school of child rearing — does not have a hand in her wardrobe selection is ridiculous. More than likely it is Miss Shiloh herself who keeps selecting the pants and in the whole scheme of things: who really cares? As long as she isn't wearing low-riders with her thong showing, a bare-midriff with thigh high boots or basically dressed like one of the Cyrus girls, I think Shiloh is doing just fine.
About katie
I think she is so freaking cute. That is what I think every single time I see her.
I have one girly girl and one, diry, bug catching, jeans wearing, wouldn’t wear a dress if her life depended on it little girl. The girl wants to be a freaking Transformer when she grows up. Seriously.
Shrug. Whatever. As long as they wear clothes, I could care less what they wear. If I were a magazine, I’d wonder why Suri Cruise never wears a coat in winter, before I’d worry about Shiloh wearing boys clothes. Have you seen that girl? Her parents and siblings will be wearing a coat and hat and she’s wearing a summer dress and freaking high heels.
My daughter almost always wears pants – except for when she runs naked through the house. Hopefully I’m not going to turn her into a transgendered stripper when she grows up.
US Weekly is becoming more stupid with each passing month. I used to read them but stopped once they started looking an awful lot like Star or In Touch, full of made-up stories. (Although I will cop to reading US Weekly if I’m in an airport or on a ferry boat. It’s strange how travel lowers my ability to concentrate on anything more than pretty pictures.)
@Issa – Now I want to be a Transformer when I grow up. Seriously.
@Marilyn – If this BS is true (and it’s not), my daughter will also be a transgendered stripper when she grows up. Currently she is buck nekkid without a stitch and she has a pair of pants wrapped around her shoulders like a shawl. I suppose I might be shown mercy because she *is* using the pants like they are an article of girly clothing but I didn’t see one caveat that allows such a thing to occur.
WE ARE DOOMED PEOPLE!
Wow. That was a slow news day. Kudos to that expert for getting someone to cough up dough for that opinion.
Um, what kind of expert exactly?
Oh, dear. What does it say about me that I wear jeans every single day?
