Like many other girls who grew up in the 80s, I was a huge Madonna fan. For a long time, whenever my best friend came over, our favourite game to play was Desperately Seeking Susan. We used to raid my mother’s pile of old costume jewelry, clothes and makeup in an attempt to look the way Madonna and Rosanna Arquette did on the cover of my Dress You Up LP. We'd parade around the house, pretending we were in New York City, seeking desperately for Susan.
Kids emulate celebrities all the time, but sometimes it goes to far. Sometimes, it makes you wonder how much celebrity role-play is too much.
Eight-year-old Laura Fontana recently went on Qual e o Seu Talento, a Brazilian reality show that looks a lot like America’s Got Talent, to perform a Lady GaGa number in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. Her performance is pretty good – she’s actually singing, and she’s not bad. Heavily made up and clad all in white – bodysuit, gloves, boots and a big white bow – her outfit looks like what my daughter wears to her ballet classes. Yet while her dance is fairly tame, there are a couple of parts – in the beginning, where she’s kind of, like, gyrating, and then, closer to the end? When she crawls across the stage? - that make me a little uncomfortable. Because the entire time I watched this eight-year-old girl perform, I kept thinking about my own daughter.
And how I wouldn’t want to see my daughter dancing around a stage to Lady GaGa, on television, at the tender age of eight. Because I'd like to keep my little girl a little girl for a little while longer, thankyouverymuch.
What are your thoughts on this video? Not a big deal, or downright creepy?

The dancing is over the top and definitely not appropriate in my opinion for an 8 year old. I bought my almost 7 year old the Lady Gaga CD and I've never been super strict on what music we play in our house/car. But the gyrating and all the jazz? HELL no. Not in my house.

Also, not every system qualifies for the discount so before you buy, find out what your insurer recommends.

Good – I should certainly say I'm impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related info. The site ended up being truly simple to access. Nice job.
