Here's a 'then vs now' pictorial of costumes for little girls.

How can one look at these & deny the impact that objectification has had?

Not to mention it's usually fucking cold the end of October!

That is just creepy.

To me it looks like grooming them for their future roles as sex objects. It is disgusting.
