GeoGirl is a beauty line aimed at the ” Tweens” of America, specifically 8-12 year olds. The line which has been stirring up controversy, due to the issue of contributing to the “over-sexualising” of children, will offer mascara, blush, face shimmer and lipstick, all of which are natural and “eco-friendly”. But here is the kicker, the line is supposedly “Anti-aging”. Anti-aging for 8 year olds? I personally don’t find a problem with this. Every little girl likes to wear play make-up and this brand just offers parents a little comfort in knowing that the tons of gunk all over their little girls face (and on her teeth) is natural and chemical free. It’s only if the parents let their kids wear it out of the house and/or makes the child feel the make-up is making them more beautiful that negative implications will arise. ![]() |

So I am 27 years old. But feel free to call me Grandma. As a twenty-something you might think I would see a show of this sort of nature as cool and modern, but as an incredibly conservative person I am appalled and did nothing short of filing an FCC complaint when I saw only previews of this show Skins on MTV. A show like this would be fine on Showtime or HBO (although shows built upon sex don’t appeal to me as entertainment in the slightest and I don’t understand the necessity of it). Anyway, MTV’s demographic is somewhere between 14 and 20 I’m sure, and thats where I have a problem. This is the exact age of people who should not be watching this show. It portrays being a teen whore and doing drugs as ample ways to spend a friday evening. Now regardless if teens do this sort of thing anyway ( as I am not far off from that age and remember it well) I can’t imagine the level of increase in this behavior that would have resulted from a show like this being on to tell us we were simply doing what was normal across the teen board of America. Puh-leeze. Get this shit off tv. I can only brace myself for what will be on TV in 20 years at this rate. ![]() |
