Holy Mary, Mother of God. . . . Get your ass in that stable.

The NYT can't decide if the worst thing about little girls getting pedicures is that it's teaching them to be consumers, or that it's hypersexualizing them.

Look at the picture below, and tell me: can you see what it is they're missing?



I've gotten pedicures myself from time to time. And I've paid people (usually friends) to clean my house and nanny my kid.

But I will be goddamned if I *ever* pay a poor woman of color to literally sit at my child's feet.
