I always love it when I see celebrity children being able to express themselves the way they desire. Take Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh, for example. As you see in these photos, she's dressed exactly how she wants to dress. I mean check out that sword! That is pretty bad ass. When was the last time you saw a young girl being able to carry a sword just because she wanted to, without her parents disagreeing with it.
There's a lot of hype in the media about "Why is Angelina turning Shiloh into a boy?" or "Is Shiloh a boy or girl?"... I mean really guys? Really. Why would anyone go out of their way to purposely "turn their child" into the opposite gender just to get raves about it?? Ever think that maybe Shiloh just likes that style? It's what she feels comfortable in and having parents that allow you to be who you are at such a young age is very rare, especially in Hollywood. Even Angelina stated that she allows Shiloh to pick out her own clothes:“It’s not my choice. I have a very strong willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is.”
“I think children should wear what they want and express themselves, so we give them different options of things.”
- Angelina Jolie
And as far as the "boyish" pixie haircut is concerned, this is what Angie said:
“Shiloh cried and said, ‘Please cut my hair off, I don’t want to have long hair.’ I’m not going to leave it long because somebody thinks I should. I want to do what’s in her head and what’s in her heart is to dress like that. I think it’s beautiful.” - Angelina Jolie
Right on, Angelina! I've always loved Angelina, but this makes me love her even more! I tip my hat to all the parents out there that allow their children to be who they are and not what society expects them to be. Keep doing what you're doing, Brad and Angelina, I totally support you and I'm sure millions of others out there do as well.
