"ABC News contributor Claire Shipman is gently trying to coax her eight-year-old daughter, Della Claire Carney, to appear in a Washingtonian MOM photo shoot, in which Della might have to wear pink and comb her tangled mane.

Della is not easily swayed. She hates pink. Nor does she like to brush her hair."

Team Della!

The photos seemed overly styled to me.

Major photo-shopping going on in all the photos.

+1.

Flawless skin. Featureless feet. Even mannequins have more lines that they have.

I consider it quite telling and find it disturbing that this is OK with so many people. Just more confirmation....

They met in Moscow in the early 90s. I hardly see the problem with it.

Now the photoshopping and cutesty pajamas? Eeech.

Both Claire and Marla (on a previous cover of Sidwell Mom) are very nice people. They have been rendered almost unrecognizable by the aggressive photoshopping.

Well done, pp.

As I read this article I was thinking -I bet these kids go to Sidwell. And sure enough they do. I'd like to think they are lovely people but if they were they wouldn't have done an article like this. The article has no redeeming qualities other than to send the message "hey we're more fabulous than you!"

Sorry you made poor life decisions.

I know this magazine is supposed to be aspirational, but it would be nice if they would feature some of really cool "normal" parents in DC. I meet interesting parents at the parks all the time, and I'd rather read about them than these overstyled folks.

No you don't. All you meet is women with Jesus sandals, graying hair that desperately needs dye, clothes from target, and dirty minivans.

Which park do you go to? This is not where I hang out...

Ugh I'm bored by this over stylized portrayal of a family.. Even the dog looks too perfect.

Actually no, but I don't feel compelled to chronicle my life and my kids in a magazine. Maybe if I had done something to save humanity I'd feel like I had a good story to tell but no one wants to read about my privileged life (which, yes, did include going to Sidwell).
