[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be a little miffed. I've spent many years trying to teach mine that "It's what's on the inside that counts" and "We don't judge people's bodies and appearance," etc., and then they get recognized for appearance. Did any boys receive similar award recognition for their looks?[/quote]

Fashionista is not about her appearance. It is about style. Two different things. You can be a plain jane or jim, and have an impeccable sense of style. And you can be gorgeous and have no sense of style, proportion, artistry, color and balance. Fashionista indicates a skill that has nothing to do with physical appearance..[/quote]

And before you say that then it is all about mom and not the kid, well so is most organized, perfect attendance, healthiest eater,  top reading log and a whole host of other made up awards created so everyone walks away with something.[/quote]

That's not what I would say at all-- I would think that everyone knows most of the awards at that age are "all about" the caregivers and what the caregivers value. Style and fashion skill is just not what [b]I [/b] tend to value, based on what I said earlier. I never meant to incinuate that others couldn't feel differently.[/quote]
