I'm so sick of the J.Crew pink nail polish ad. I don't even like pink nail polish! lol. I threw in the Princess Boy mother cause I'm sick of her too. She was on the today show promoting the pink nail polish ad. wtf! I know she is trying to promote her book & her ideology but come on! I'm fed up. I think all of us who have kids has had our kids play dress up but we're not plastering the picture all over the internet & writing a book about it. It's like naming your son Betty: he's gonna pay for it later with his peers. Why make it harder on our kids than it already is!
Anyway, I wrote a comment on the Today show site, TODAYMoms:
"The ad doesn't bother us; it's the media coverage of the ad that does. We don't know what Jenna is thinking of or if her kid likes to wear pink polish. It's an ad. Maybe it's just that: an ad. BUT why put that statement in an ad unless u want to cause controversy? In that case, I'm sick of people trying to push their idologies on us, the public, & then complaining when we don't side with them. This includes the Princess Boy mother. Kids have enuf problems in this world. Think about what you're doing to your kid. Did your kid ask to be the subject of your ideology? You could be inviting bullying that never would of occured because you put pink nail polish on his toes and plastered his picture on the internet & a million-and-one newspapers. Or wrote a book about him wearing a dress as a child."
