Actually, here in the US, there is all kinds of bedding/room decorations like that geared towards little girls. The chain store Target had some bright pink and zebra stripped bedroom sets. They sell it only in size twin and double bed sizes and just about every accessory imaginable is available for it. There's a lot of cute/funky stuff available for young girls here. So her decoration doesn't mean a whole lot.
I have to think she's either a small 12/13 year old, or is younger. I don't have a problem with the videos per se... but I wouldn't want my child putting their e-mail address out there at the end of each video so that people can contact her privately. IMO, that's just an invitation for creative perverts to pretend they are a young kid and lure her into giving personal information. "To Catch A Predator" anyone? *shudder*

Plus, the zebra decoration seems way too advanced for a 12yo. |

Thanks for letting me know. I just thought that way because I'm 27 and there's a lot of zebra in my room. I hated this kind of stuff when I was 12.

She's doing outrageous, colorful, poorly applied make up...isn't that how we ALL started? Don't we have numerous posts of "OMG You'd never believe how I used to wear my liner" or "I used to wear hot pink glitter shadow" or "I used to wear sugar pink lip stick" and so on? Come on now, you're talking about her not acting her age, but really, I think she is. She's just doing it on camera. People are so cynical about it all. Maybe her mom knows about it. And maybe she's only allowed to use the webcam in the family room when a parent is around. You just don't know the whole story. |

She definitely watches other tutorials. She's got the 'lingo' down quite well.
That said...
There's no way in hell my darling 12 year old will be given a webcam. She certainly isn't allowed to have a computer in her room. At no point in time will she be a member of YouTube, and if I catch her abusing the privilege of wearing makeup, I'll take it away.
The worldly attitude the girl in the video presents saddens me more than anything, because it's a sign of lazy parenting.

They don't need one. They don't need unsupervised access to MMS messaging or cellphones or anything like that either. They don't need access to the internet at their whim, and they certainly don't need Katie Price as a role model.
Lazy parenting pisses me off to no end because the child will do what the child is ALLOWED to do because the child is never taught anything any different.
Rahhhh.
I could rant for ages on this.

I can't imagine her parents are aware of this and are ok with it. But then, where does she get the money for all the makeup? How much money does a 12 year old have? It's not expensive makeup but it still adds up.
She even has a video on her "red lip" shades. Why does a 12 year old need red lipstick?? I don't even have red lipstick!

Shimmer, I agree whole-heartedly with your approach to parenting.
It's a pity that there are parents out there who are lazy or indulgent. In those cases I hope the kids have the good sense to stay out of any serious trouble. I hope this girl does too.

I can't tell how old she is but I'm thinking around the 13 year old mark. Why can't kids just be kids? It seems like all they want to do is be older and society and products encourage it. What's with Tween wear?? And since when did there become a need for bras for 8 years olds, they don't even have boobs yet!! I think this girl is a product of the society we're in and I feel bad for her, childhood is over so fast and I'm glad I enjoyed mine riding bikes and playing with my friends.

I think someone posted that she looks younger but in reality she is like 15+
Not sure, but it could be...I'm 20 and parents (at my job) thought I was 16 once. I even got 14 when I don't wear makeup....rawr. It's because I'm a shorty. lol.

Well everyone matures at a different age. She looks about 14 to me. It's hard to tell around that age because they all start at a different age and that can make a huge difference in a child.

OMG!! That's terrible, and she's probably completely clueless as to the nature they're probably viewing that video for!? I don't have a problem with a lipstick fetish but combine that with a clearly underage girl and that to me = wrong!!
I wonder if you can report that video to you tube? Surely her parents don't know she does this
