Too Young for Victoria's Secret?

So the other day Good Morning America did a story about a mom-blogger that made a statement saying she was okay letting her 9 year old shop at Victoria’s Secret once she became a tween. This sparked a lot of controversy across America, as many people were appalled saying she was sexualizing her daughter, etc. Here’s my take on all of this.

First off, her daughter is only 9. She did not say that she currently lets her daughter shop at Victoria’s Secret, but would in the future. Second, she made a valid argument that the main purpose was that once her daughter began to have to change in the locker room, she wanted her to have options so she wouldn’t be embarrassed about her underwear. I understand that we don’t all want to walk around in Barbie underwear.

It’s not like she’s forcing her child to wear thongs and push up bras or sexy lingerie. She’s simply allowing her daughter the future choice of wearing cuter underwear. Personally, I think if she’s willing to fork up $10 for a pair of bikini briefs, then more power to her. I love my pink polka dot VS undies, but I’ve never bought a single pair from the company (however, I do redeem all my free coupons).

Those are my thoughts. Here’s the link to an ABC article on the story. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/lifestyle/2013/03/mom-says-victorias-secret-okay-for-tween/
