Cinderella Ate My Daughter and a Taco





Kindle lovers unite! Take a stand against telling a size 2 woman what to eat. Heck, it's none of our business what other people eat - don't tell anyone what to eat. Listen to one of today's headlines:

A Texan beauty queen, 5 foot 8 inches, 129 pounds, size 2, put on a few extra pounds. The Miss Bexar County Organization stripped her of her title and handed it to the first runner up last month.

The beauty queen, Dominique Ramirez, says the pageant official, Linda Woods, told her to 'stay off the tacos'. Woods says she did not lose her crown due to weight issues.

However, in a later part of the interview, Woods reveals that she and other pageant people discussed Ramirez's weight and that they were worried. They were afraid she would would not look her best at public appearances. Woods told ABC News the wardrobe on a photo shoot did not fit Ramirez.. (horrors!)

Do you think Ramirez has a case?

Today's teen and preteen girls are brought up in a culture of 'girlness'. The best way to explain this is by reading the new book, Cinderella Ate My Daughter. And the best way to understand the beauty pageant mentality is by reading the book.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter is fun. It is a trip into girl world like no other. The author spent time at a Miley Cyrus concert and visited Disneyland, (the ultimate princess utopia).

I have a girl. She is a princess. There is nothing wrong with that. There is a problem with the extremes some parents go to. The sexualizing of children. Reading this book can help help stop your pint sized preteen rocker from becoming 'tomorrow's sexting teen?'
