Should We Promote Two Year Old Divas?

This article stated that "children's awareness of their appearance seems to come at a younger age nowadays". It sure does due to the media's focus on sexuality and girls behaving like 'adult women' at an early age! I shudder at all of this. I don't understand how this focus can be an "ego boost' and build self-esteem.
This article claims that the purpose of this 'spa' is to make the girls 'feel better'. Why would any parent want their child to feel better about themselves because they are wearing adult-like, alluring cosmetics? This frightens me.
In a world where we are fighting against the pressures on our youngsters to 'be sexy' and to value their looks rather then their capabilities, why would we subject our daughters to this physical beauty centered activity? Are we creating a generation of young women who continue to fall into the trap of valuing themselves for how they look rather than who they are? I'm just sayin'.........
