I’m pretty sure that I’d take tomboy over diva. But the jury’s still out on that

Exactly. One can be a tough cookie – and a smart feminist – and still love a good ruffle.

I absolutely applaud her independence and willingness to express her preferences, but I don’t equate pretty with ultra-feminine. People are at their most attractive, I think, when they are happy and comfortable. I agree with not emphasizing physical beauty over anything else, but I also don’t see a problem with recognizing when someone looks great, just as they are.

i remember when a friend had her first baby – a little girl – and she told me that her husband would say all the time “i hope she’s pretty, gosh i hope she’s pretty – life is just so much easier for pretty girls.”

so depressing. Urggggghhhh.

Emilia is pretty. She can afford not to care. My very bright, very sensitive but sadly very plain 5 year old niece is going to have a harder road to travel. And, yeah, that makes me really really sad.

I have two girls, neither of whom are girlie girls, nor are they pure tomboys. They are simply who they are, and I let them be that way. For all the ways they embrace the Littlest Pet Shop or a doll or wearing a dress, they also embrace running as fast as they can, skinning their knees, and getting muddy.

And Emilia will embrace her looks someday, too. In the meantime, let her embrace the world.

I do, however, love the princess dress on her.

ciao,
