Pandoer

One thing I have pandoer understood about such girl acts. Spice Girls, Britney Spears, or Christina Aguilera is why parents would take their pre-teen daughters.

To watch them perform or pandoer them to idolize and emulate these women. I am not commenting on the singers' talent--I have never heard any of them, so I have no idea whether they have talent or not. What I am talking about, quite simply, is image. No shit man he said to you all day long. And no sweat either for either.

These young women dress like pandoer, at least when they are performing. (I see pictures in newspapers, magazines, etc.) Their image is heavily sexualized, to be sure, but it's not the sexuality per se that troubles me. It's the nature of the pandoer being represented: young women's bodies are being offered as if they were consumer products.

I don't like to see it, but it's a free country, and they have a right to "sell" themselves in whatever way they think necessary to advance their careers. But what troubles me is the all-too-common tendency in our society to sexualize young girls, to commodify their faces and bodies on the flesh market. The ubiquitous image of Jon Benet Ramsey is the most obvious example of what I'm referring to, but that is just an iconographic representation of what is, in fact, pervasive in our pandoer.
