Become a nun.

Become a Republican.

Wait until she’s married to have sex and to get pregnant.

So far, the best answer I can come up with is live in shapeless tee shirts and jeans, choose to flip burgers for a living, and never be caught dead in a gym. That said, I echo those noting that Lourdes looks happy, well nurtured, and dressed in an entirely age-appropriate way, day spa trips notwithstanding. I can't argue with that. “It does raise the interesting question of just what one could do to rebel against Madonna…”

I don't think it's nice to make fun of celebrity kids, but it would be a lot harder for people to comment if celebrities didn't sell pics of their kids to magazines or expose them unnecessarily to paparazzi. class-factotum, I don't think the dark nail polish is a big deal. She's 12 years old (ish), not a little girl, so it's entirely possible that she chose the color herself. I doubt she needs to rebel much (yet). And I wish I could have had a manicurist do my nails at that age. My observations of blog posts are that Lourdes gets comments about her facial hair, not her dress or behavior.

She's lovely. (And while I have heard tell of a spoiled lifestyle, that's not exactly her fault.) I'm just glad to see that Madonna's not rolling round the carpet in her purple high-cut leotard anymore. That was just so wrong. How can one diss Lola? She’s lovely.

What's with the dark nail polish on a little girl? And worse, dark nail polish that was probably applied by a $50 manicurist instead of by Lourdes herself in a moment of rebellion?

Madonna knows how this works and is complicit in the whole press mess. Also, that kid spends <i>way</i> too much time in day spas for a ten-year-old. I don't make up the facts, I just report 'em.

I just wanted to say, in case anyone thought differently, that I have never been instructed to make fun of children. The Manolo has much more class than that.
