Agree Sophiable

snafu · 21/08/2005 21:48

Yes, agree totally, but am assuming mof is over 16

Heathcliffscathy · 21/08/2005 21:50

i get so het up about the sexualisation of little girls younger and younger and younger....it's awful

i don't have one (a dd that is). but i was one, and might have one, and ds might marry one (assuming he ends up straight) and the likelihood is that more and more young women will have had inappropriate and damaging experiences due to this early sexualisation and be wounded as a result.

i know i'm getting all serious (as usual) but wtf are whsmiths thinking? and what about the parents of all the girls buying this stuff?

Heathcliffscathy · 21/08/2005 21:51

i'm not having a go at mummyoffour btw! sorry if i offended by saying tacky: just not my cup of tea...i'm talking about using the brand for children...what next playboy freebies with your cocopops???

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 22:29

But do you intend to decorate your bedroom in Playboy stuff like my best friend? There's liking the merchandise and there's going to far like I think my friend is.

WideWebWitch · 21/08/2005 22:31

agree sophable, it's offensive imo to sell a soft porn brand to children.

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 22:32

no my dh would not allow that

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 22:34

Sensible and compromised. My friends dp is just letting her get on with it!!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 22:35

my dh tolerates my love for it but would draw the line at having to sleep with it!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 22:37

Lol. He just says it could be worse. How I don't see but it's their domestic life so who am I to say that they do things differently?

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 22:39

is she doing it in pink or black?

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 22:53

The rooms going to be a light pink with all the accesorises(sp?) in black. It's going to be a nightmare finding things for her at xmas and her birthday!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:02

LOL she will have it all!!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:07

She's already getting there!! She's got shoes, towels, watches, jewellery, the PS2 game!! the list could go on!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:09

lucky thing, I have few bits of jewellery and clothes but my dh said he doesn't want me going overboard!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:27

Your dh sounds sensible. Mind you her dp does have a very large collection of dvd and PS2 games so maybe he's keeping her sweet by indulging her in her addiction?!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:38

I think i would be like your friend given half a chance but dh keeps my feet on ground. LOL maybe you are right he secretly likes it too!!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:39

Wouldn't be surprised at all. He's a very strange bloke at times!! I am placing money on the fact that she has found something Playboy while on holiday in spain when I go to see her this week!!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:42

maybe that is why he is letting her paint and make bedroom playboy....if he got dvds etc then obviously enjoys it too. LOL she sounds crazy for it and I thought I was bad !!!!!!!!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:44

She's completely nuts!!! I don't think he has got any playboy dvd's. Thats the one thing she will not have!!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:47

LOL maybe not. thats going too far!!!

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:48

See she has some standards!!!

mummyoffour · 21/08/2005 23:50

LOL yes!! Has she visited the playboy store online yet??? silly question really!! They have a sale on at the mo......and its alot cheaper than buying over here.

OP posts:
spursmum · 21/08/2005 23:56

Can't say if she has, but I will mention it to her. She wants to drag to london to see if theres a Playboy shop.
