Girls will be 30-year-old women Younger and younger girls are participating in spa activities like facials, pedicures and highlights. Sarah Goldstein [2006-08-03]

• You Say Spa, I Say Salon

  I have to say that taking your toddler to the spa seems a little strange to me. I'm not surprised by it though, what with the constant negative body messages that everyone gets beamed into their brains 24/7 by marketers.

  For me, at least, there it is still a big jump from spa treatments and over-sexualized children, though I can see how some people might percieve it as a slippery slope. My main problem with it is that it's one more thing that girls are learning they need to be concerned with instead of, oh, I dunno, learning physics.

  Apparently a "Thong Party" is a night at a club where women wearing thongs are allowed in for free (thanks Google). Sort of like Ladies Night, but you know, without being a lady.
