Comes Beyonce Knowles’ line of tartwear for little girls.

Where to start with how incredibly inappropriate this is? The come-hither pumps on preschoolers (OK, maybe they’re really 7 or 8 years old), or the tight, hip-hugging jeans?

Once upon a time little girls played dress-up in their mothers’ clothes, swanning around in gowns that were too long and pointy heels that were too big. This looks like man-hunting nightclub gear.

This isn’t pointless fretting. All those people who slather makeup onto their girls’ faces, buy them miniature corsets and shove them into Little Miss Artichoke pageants may actually buy this stuff.
