[quote=Anonymous]I was a complete girly girl when I was very little.  I looovveed dresses and putting ribbons in my hair and painting my toenails.  However, around 6 I started playing soccer.  I started playing very competitve soccer.  I was an elite player.  I still would wear a ribbon tied in my ponytail.  I still would wear french braids, etc.  I was not a 'man' looking soccer player and this did not diminish my toughness on the team.  I was scrappy.  I also loved playing on a rainy, muddy day.  One of my friends on the team played in the boys league (and she was as girly as me) before playing up two age groups with my travel team.  I think we were disarming to the 'rough' looking women's team.  They assumed we weren't tough based on appearance...we were undeafeated champs for 8 years running.

I, therefore, disagree with the idea that painting a toddler's nails will make them less likely to participate in athletic endeavors.  Plain crazy.

I was not allowed to have my ears pierced until I was 13.  I also wasn't allowed to wear make-up until 8th grade or so...and then very minimal tasteful.  My mom went with me to clinque counter.

I have boys, but if I did have a little girl I would def. take her for a mani/pedit type thing for the fun of it (is she wanted to do it).[/quote]
