[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that people are generally w-a-y too self important these days.  Some kids have a knack for fashion to the point that it is a noticeable talent and a part of their persona.  What the heck is wrong with recognizing that talent with a reward?

You can be smart, athletic, beautiful AND a fashionable fashionista...[/quote]

EXACTLY.

As one who works on the fringe of fashion ans design I can't believe the silliness of these people getting so upset by the idea of a child getting recognized for an interest i or flair for fashion.

It takes a great deal of creativity, artistry, originality and independence to become good at fashion. These are strengths, people. Why not recognize and encourage it? It is not like recognizing strength in this one area means that by default you are recognizing shallowness, selfishness, self centeredness or any number of other flaws. You can be good at fashion and still be smart, kind, and any number of other things.[/quote]
