Yes. “Rubber boots in July, a tutu over overalls”, exactly! My daughter, at 3, was in what I call her “Janis Joplin phase”…long strings of beads, boas, sunglasses, short skirts with tights, glittery, mis-matched tops, rubber boots, etc…
Made for some fun trips out in public, I tell you :p.
Was (and still is, at 10) VERY particular about her clothes, hair and accessories.
I made it clear that I hated pink, lace, ribbons and bows as soon as I was able to reach and destroy the lace frill around my cradle (I’d given signs previously). My mother says that she could dress me in anything so long as it did not include the color pink, any lace, any ribbons or any bows. A present of a pink blouse with lace and a satin bow caused a meltdown that she still qualifies as “our biggest fight ever” 40 years later (I can’t remember it).
My nephews (4yo and 20mo) are very clear on what they want to wear. The Niece was perfectly able to make her opinion known while still completely pre-verbal: if the clothes her mother was trying to put on her were to her liking, she’d lift her arms and legs to assist in getting the clothes on; otherwise, she made them completely stiff.
Agree with topic. Is there some rule that every celebrity has to live up to certain standards with their kids? I get caring about celebs. We see them all the time, and they are superficially part of our circle. But why their kids?
And does this mean you’d be “shocked” if your best friend had a tomboy? I think it’s a cute phase that many girls go through. And if she does turn out to be a lesbian–why do we care?
So did I; but I fought her every step of the way, because I had strong opinions about everything in my life and wanted to make my own choices. I just wasn’t allowed to.
I agree that there’s no statement a three-year-old can make and her choices are only possible with the support of her parent’s at this age… But IME (I have known a lot of little kids in my life), if you give them the option, many two and three-year-olds like to choose what they wear (and can choose what they want to buy) and how they wear their hair, and appear to have their own sartorial style which is quite consistent.
Don’t forget that Shiloh has 5 siblings, and apparently wants to emulate her brothers. Unlike a lot of little girls who only have what their parents buy them, she can find boys clothes to wear all over her house.
both parents have been described as one of the world’s most beautiful people, their offsprings will naturally be of interest. the first pictures of Shiloh sold more than $7 million, the first pictures of the twins sold more than $14 million. (who in the world earns that much money even before they could speak?)
like it or not, it seems news about the kids sell. our Pit itself reflects this - two threads on the children with a combined ratio of 170 posts to 10 000 views. similar to many of our resident trolls’ favourite threads, it doesn’t matter if the premise is ridiculous, so long as it stirs interest and move sales.
I assume that story will be told at his wedding reception?
The fact that little Shiloh Pitt may be a tomboy is nothing compared to her unfortunate name. Haven’t Brad or Angelina ever heard of a Spoonerism?
I was at a friend’s and the nephew (who was maybe 2 or 3?) decided that he was in love with a sparkly, red headband with a bow on it. When the mother took it off, I think this kid just about literally lost his shit, and started shrieking nonstop. It’s a headband people, not air or water, but you’d think this kid was about to die. The mother just gave it back to him, and he finally shut up. He placed the sparkly thing atop his head, and couldn’t be happier. Kids are insane. It’s true!
Obviously he is a future superhero and the sparkly headband will be the source of his power. He’ll probably go by the name Fabulous Man or something.
Possibly the only super hero gayer than Plastic Man.
Actually, I think all the kids are Jolie-Pitts. I’m not sure if that’s any better, though.
I love the name “Shiloh.” I have a dog named Shiloh.
I think it’s a fine name for people, too.
Shiloh could be his sidekick, Butch Girl.
I had to go look up Spoonerism - ooh, that’s a GOOD one!
His Caesar? What’s that?
I like the name Shiloh. It’s no Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette but it’ll do.
I still don’t get it. A kid with a head?
Are you kidding me?
They’re obviously referring to his haircut.
But when I think of the Caesar haircut I think of something different.
I would have to say that’s one of the most disgusting, predatory news “Stories” I’ve ever seen.
In fairness, I speak only of the print story. In the talk show segment, the host challenges the magazine woman, and the psychologist backs up the host.
I just couldn’t see what was distinctive about his haircut (and like you, couldn’t see the connection with Caesar)
