Microdermabrasion, Bikini Waxes for the Second Grade Set

Filed under: Parenting Insanity, Parenting News — Tags: , — Meredith O'Brien @ 8:40 am

I was literally aghast when I read this Philadelphia Magazine article last month about mothers who were trotting their daughters, as young as 8 years old, to salons for hair coloring sessions, microdermabrasion and bikini waxes (when there’s nothing to wax down there).

So I opted to lampoon it in my May P&K Magazine column where I argue that if so-called reasonable adults think a bikini wax for a second grader is appropriate, then they shouldn’t be leaving their sons out of this beauty mania and should be treating them to mani-pedis and preventative Rogaine treatments.
