Ads For Beyonce's Children's Line Are Promoting Itty-bitty Hoochie Mamas

Hodgirls1Ads for singer Beyonce's new children's clothing line feature child models in high heels with heavily made-up faces. Is she encouraging children to want to dress up as prostitutes? I don't quite get it. Needless to say, the provocative pics that introduce the kindergarten set to stilettos are stirring up well-deserved controversy for the singer.

From StyleDash:

To be fair, the clothing itself isn't all that bad. Not good, either, but not quite as "Go on, baby, and earn your lunch money the old fashioned way" as the ads make them appear. But seriously, who's going to want their daughter associated with the clothing in these ads? You know, besides Mrs. Knowles ...

The boots are not for sale on the website.
If little white girls in tiaras and gowns were shown would you feel differently?
The ads are worse than the actually website! So it might accomplish it's purpose - to sell clothes.
