In their latest Christmas catalogue 2012, 7/8 year old girls are shown clearly wearing lipstick. I'm sickened to see The White Company encouraging children to see themselves as adults prematurely.

Doesn't every nmodel need to wear slap? However, some pics of DS make him look very ruby-lipped and he would never even allow a face painter near him!

Jesus Christ, it's lipstick not chocolate body paint. Lots of little girls like to wear make up. It doesn't make them precocious hussys by the time the hit twelve.
