She had short hair for quite a while. Shiloh does have older siblings, who I have a feeling are probably just as expressive as she is, soooooo, maybe it was a haircut adventure gone wrong? Either way, she's three and just beginning to explore her own autonomy.

To put a child in that place is abusive. Now she's fair game for the media-tauning that happens to the allegedly "fat" actresses. So being fat or tom boyish are the big horrors they need to dig at. It just another way to write about Brangelina, a subject that sells magazines. But to critique their young child? Criminal. <br /><br />I think we all should write letters to these a-holes.

I wasn't allowed to have long hair until I could care for it myself. I frequently wore what you seem to consider boyish clothes because they were better for running around and playing in. (Also because my parents were frugal and put me in my brother's perfectly good hand-me-downs. Jeans and corduroys are just pants, and t-shirts are t-shirts, when you're three.)<br /><br />I'm fine, thanks.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099611204738228668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-44586060178862870102010-03-05T05:05:50.208-08:002010-03-05T05:05:50.208-08:00so tired of jolie boring as hell and pathetic actr...so tired of jolie boring as hell and pathetic actress......<br /><br />stop the buzz with this trollAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-33961877922573639542010-03-05T02:26:00.687-08:002010-03-05T02:26:00.687-08:00Leave Shiloh alone! for f**k sake!Leave Shiloh alone! for f**k sake!valnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-78938501918508737462010-03-04T23:45:32.179-08:002010-03-04T23:45:32.179-08:00No one is worried of the thousends and thousends o...No one is worried of the thousends and thousends of "normal" (ie noncelebrity) little girls who have their hair cut short because its handy and tidy and they HATE brushing hair.
