Thanks Holly, and there's your link, Greatful Fan. I would actually have liked it better had i been wrong. :/ The line i was thinking of was the Little Miss Naughty, but i had forgotton the name, i guess maybe they were one of the first? I'm not sure. And it is not touted as a 'lingerie line,' like the rest dont have teh celebrity kid fronting it, they are just quietly sold. Seriously, in what sick mind does a 7 year old need a bra of any description, let alone padded???!!! And how can parents give in to this... 7 year olds should be out playing hide and seek, not being mini-barbies. And why would any parent want to expose a child so young to having ppl looking at them like that... like, even apart from adults, it attracts attn from older kids in primary school, which could also be damaging. I dunno, the world is a very strange and dark place at times. I was still playing with my sylvanians at age 7 rofl. [/QUOTE]
My argument was about the billing, not the garments. I know the garments exist, sadly. However La Senza marketing the line, no matter what they call it, is implicit lingerie! So I stand corrected. Some corporations and the people that make decisions for them really are that insular/stupid/greedy.
I don't know if or how specialty North American TV makes it around the world, but there is this utterly insane program called Toddlers & Tiaras. I barely watch TV, but I make a point to record that one just because it's so jaw droppingly nutty. It's all about very young children on the robust American beauty pageant circuit for kids and the clinical parents who have them spray tanned and make them wear fake teeth. These little girls (mostly) are primped and pimped with pancake makeup, fake hair, fake eyelashes, eyeliner(!), manicures and pedicures, etc., dresses that cost thousands and bikinis that cost hundreds, and applauded and cheered as they pose and perform and flirt suggestively to a panel of nobodies. It's a carnival of craziness punctuated by the whole lot of them uttering inane things into the camera. I'll tell you, shallow seven year olds are something to see.
My only regret is that a childhood like this might, [i]might[/i], have avoided my Barry Manilow period.

Yeah, it is horrific. i have not seen that program but i know those contests exist... they are disgusting. I srsly do not understand the mindset.
Did you ever see the film Little Miss Sunshine? It is abt a little girl who is desperate to win a beauty contest. She is a 'normal' little girl, not a beauty contest kid, and the plot centres around her struggle to get to it, cos they had huge transport probs and all. But seeing the contrast between a normal kid and the skinny flirty little mini beauty queens is... i dont even know how to describe it, it really shows the horror of the contests without being melodramatic, without saying anything, just by seeing how wrong it is. And then all the talent contest part of it, it is aweful. For her talent she dances to Super Freak and its like a parody of a strip, like she acts like she is stripping, but obvioulsy isnt. And all the contest ppl are appaled, but it shows idk, like it is no more innappropriate then any of the other talent acts.
This post did not make sense lol i'm too vehement over the issue to make sense rofl.

You can tell it was a movie, because all the contest people were appalled. In real life, they think it's just great. I went to YouTube to find a Toddlers & Tiaras link for you, and found one thing, and then clicked on another and found this. Didn't even try - like shooting fish in a barrel. It's six minutes long, but stay with it for a while. There buried in the inanity are some genuinely unfathomable things. Bear in mind this little girl is about 3 years old.

It's the adults in the room that mystify me. And yet these things are totally normalized in a 5 billion dollar plus pageant industry, where tiny girls win brand new cars and fists full of cash.
