Generation Diva

Definitely, I think it would be hard to deny that media exposure and society at large are sexualising young girls earlier and earlier. It's a totally unnerving trend, and quite sad as well. These girls' childhoods are being twisted by some clever marketers, just to drive a new generation of shallow consumption.

I'm not sure what it will come to beyond that, it's basically like a more extreme version of the dress ups we all used to play at, a fascination with the adult world. As you come into maturity you grow out of that phase, because it loses its allure when you have it. But the buying habits will live on.
