Re: Stunningly Beautiful Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

I would not call it critiqued or dissected to simply  say you don't agree that she is stunningly beautiful. Sure, people could have said nothing, but perhaps a child shouldn't have been put forth for discussion in the first place then.

What is sad is your comment.

 

It's so weird and petty to dissect a child's beauty.


I would not call @ECBG  comment of the photo a dissection of a child's beauty.  There are not a great many teenage girls who are truly stunning during that time frame.  They still have some of the awkward look to them while seeing the beauty in them as well.  Teenage girls have not come into their own so to speak and when she gets to her mid twenties or so she may be stunning but now she is not.  

Rumor, Scout, and Tallulah were never stunning then or now.


I really thought we had come further than this . Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder, anyway. The word "stunning" can be interpreted many different ways. I guess you could say that I am "stunned" that a child of 15 is being critiqued by a group of women that are probably years older than her ...


The invoking of "water cooler talk" and "locker room talk" as justification for unkind and rude comments about another person, is pretty sad.

Just water cooler chatting...nothing weird and commenting on a celebrity picture is normal. It was made public and the celeb crowd lives and dies for publicity.


We're talking about a child. Discussing degrees of beauty with a child in such a catty manner is indeed weird and petty.
