How to Talk to Little Girls

I thought this would be a nice segway from all my SB5 related posts into some of my more usual subjects; not that I'll be completely stopping the updates!

This is a lovely article from Lisa Bloom that discusses how people typically approach little girls and young women. Bloom remarks that more often than not, when we meet a new young girl we will ordinarily "ooo" and "aaah" over their appearance as an ice-breaker. After I read this article, I have to admit, I totally do that!

Working Girl

What a great idea. Reminds me of when I dressed up as Harriet Tubman for a biography project in the fourth grade. 

These were put together by photographer Jaime Moore. She wanted to commemorate her daughter's 5th birthday with a few portraits, but when she looked for ideas she only found "'How to's' of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess." Instead, Moore wanted to show her daughter that she could be anything she wanted to be in real life, not just aspire to  live up to an "an unrealistic fantasy for most girls (Yay Kate Middleton!)" Moore has a great write-up about her project on her website, which I pulled all the pictures and a few quotes from. Be sure and check it out.
