Most people that look at this image of these little girls would think that this is cute that the little girls dressing up in fun clothes. Yes, that is the case but these little girls are wearing things that show way too much skin. Take for instance the girl on the far right, she has a top that is cup off that shows her entire stomach. That girl in particular looks like she is about to work the pole. Parents shouldn't be letting their children dress like this because, it is encouraging them to grow up too fast. I think that shows on television and all images in society today send the message to young girls that it is okay to dress provocative. Girls learn from a small age that dressing like this is going to make you attractive or make you popular which is sending them the wrong message. In the article "Between Girl Power and the Reviving Ophelia", young girls are taught that they can do whatever they want in life and to stand up for what they believe in. I agree but, I think having little girls prance around in skimpy outfits doesn't relay the message that they are displaying "girl power". Also, the girls are wearing way more make-up them i have ever seen any woman wear. I think they are trying to hypo-sexualize these girls from a young age. Drilling this image in young girls that you need to dress provactative to get anywhere in life is wrong, because this will carry with them throughout their lives. Overall, if you take a look at this image most would agree that they don't want their little girl to dress like this because, it is sending the wrong message to others.
