Elmo shirt from American Apparel…$14
Saving your daughter from being sexualized by American Apparel? Priceless.
I want you to think about a tween or teen girl that you love. Your daughter. Your niece. Your best friend’s little girl. She’s a good person, isn’t she? She has a lot to offer. She’s probably pretty talented, [...]
