My Emma Roberts Issue
OK, here's my Emma Roberts issue. She's Eric's daughter; Julia's niece. Not my issue. So, she's been in a few movies. Still not my issue. But I just caught an old episode of the Ellen Degeneres show on Oxygen, and Emma was on. And her eyebrows were perfectly tweezed. And she's 14. And that's my issue. 14-year-olds with perfectly tweezed eyebrows.
I have to be honest. This is probably a buildup of having almost vomited when I saw a few episodes of "Supersweet 16" on VH1 the other day. Ridiculously shallow, and including truly nauseating displays of ostentatious parties by Mean Girl PHITs (Paris Hiltons in Training). But anyway...
I, too, am sickened by this phenomenon. Like, little girls wearing Porn Star t-shirts, etc. And teens getting bikini waxes. Eep. It's gross. BUT, I would point out that Emma Roberts was also an actress appearing on a TV show. She was also wearing TV makeup and probably dressed in a more sophisticated manner than most 14 year olds. TV, as you know, has its own conventions ;-) On the third hand... I have always had difficult, bushy eyebrows, even at 14, and I WISH someone had helped me pluck them perfectly. Just sayin... High school might have been totally different.

that one girl on sweet 16 who got a car, she was beyond mean. i wanted to jump through the TV and strangle her. her mother, however, let her get away with it and i blame her for her daughter's actions. it was just sad, shameful and unbelievably embarrassing. i hope she watches it and has a glimmer of the righteous bitch that she is.
