Now that I know she was playing dress up that changes things.
Doesn't help, see, that she verges on being beautiful, the way many of those baby pageant girls do. So when you put make up on them you can see the beautiful women they will become (an enticement to one too young, or a parody, or something that borders on being more vile). I don't retract my comment, no point in that, but I reassess. Still not sure I like it, but I will leave my response/judgement/etc. in abeyance.
