Lovelyish

I love this child. She’s wearing a Ramones t-shirt everybody! 

I dig the tomboy thing… I ain’t biased, for reals..
Who’s the little black gal with the bulldog?
She looks adorable with that bad ass looking dog, lol.

Oh that’s a girl 0.0
I thought she was a cute boy.
Idk kids like her just makeme think she’s going to be gay when she grows up which would cool beans. I like how she dress like a tomboy and she is comfy at that age.

@Cosmar@xanga - That is Zahara Jolie-Pitt. She is seven years old so slightly older than Shiloh. They adopted three kids: Maddox, Zahara and Pax. They have three biologically.

I’m jealous of Shiloh’s self-awareness!! I want whatever she’s been sippin’ on. Good for her for doing her own thing.. AND AT SIX YEARS OLD! I’m impressed. 

I love her and I think it’s awesome that she has found her own style and not fallen into the “gender norms” pit. That shows real independence and character. I also think her parents are pretty cool for just letting her do her thing. Sadly, a lot of parents would not be okay with this. 

My little brother wore dresses all the time when he was a kid. He always wanted to wear a dress if we were going somewhere fancy and my parents always let him, but a lot of our relatives got kind of angry about it and accused my parents of being irresponsible and “making sure he would get bullied”.He’s 18 now and totally fine. He stopped wearing dresses around the age of ten because he didn’t want to anymore. He’s not gay or trans and has never been bullied at all. He just liked dresses.

Interesting…

I wonder how many people forget that a large portion of the clothing these children wear (and that all children in general wear) is based on a) where the parent brings the child to shop (because how many children that young will actually have any real knowledge of styles and stores) and b) what the parents pick out for the child to wear (if such an occasion calls for the parents to pick out clothing). I’m fairly sure that if my parents had brought me to the stores that these celebs shop at I would be wearing those pieces and not really caring, because I don’t really recall having any real opinions on what I wore or how I looked. I do wonder why so many people think that children this young are basically styling themselves according to their own tastes all on their own. 

Seriously?  Why are we pitting two children against each other?  The anti-Suri Cruise?  Really?  Why aren’t they both little girls who are lucky that their parents let them express themselves through clothing? Why is Suri’s desire to look like a “stereotypical” girl less laudable than Shiloh’s desire to wear things that are more unisex?

There is a way to “praise” some one with out knocking another.  But that wouldn’t be as fun huh? I agree with @Erika_Steele@xanga - This post just pissed me off!

That is one cute kiddo!

@ashleynicole - I agree. I like wearing gender-neutral outfits myself, but I’d be worried if my daughter “chose” to express herself that way starting age six. Hell, for all I know Shiloh’s been dressed that way since she was even younger. It’s one thing to freely express your clothing preferences as a teenager, but as a six-year-old? Come on. As the parent of such a young child, I would consider it my responsibility to teach her about societal norms, THEN when she’s old enough she can decide which path to follow. I don’t know. Knowing Angelina Jolie’s experimental phase in her youth, I really wouldn’t be surprised if her input played a role in all of this. I mean, we’re talking about a kid. Self-expression? Please.

Honestly, I feel like celebrities have this pressure to raise their kids differently from others (hence the name of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby: Blue Ivy). I guess it’s infinitely better than pressuring your kids to conform, but it’s really pressure either way. It’s this exertion on your child that he/she is expected to grow up with the kind of uniqueness that they probably never decided on themselves. 

I don’t mean to insult her, but I seriously thought Shiloh was a really good-looking boy from the first picture! I was like “oh what a cute boy! How cute he and Suri would be together! “. Oops. Never mind then. Still, thats impressive to have the guts to go tomboyish. When you’re a young girl of celebrity parents, you’re expected to be cute and pretty. Instead she is going for an androgynous fashion. Cool. 

@heaventtonight@xanga - you’d be worried that your daughter dressed as a tomboy? Really? I was a major tomboy growing up – it was nightmare to get me into a dress and I was happy. Now, I’m 23 and I love dresses and make-up and girly things. There’s nothing wrong with being a tomboy at age six,

@ceresa - the guts? She’s six. Her parents pick out her clothes for her.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - I see what you’re saying, but you can’t pose yourself as an example for every kid out there. Even if what you went through is what usually turns out to be the case, it’s important not to overlook exceptions to the rule. I was also pretty tomboyish as a kid, and I’m still tomboyish today. Most of my girlfriends were girlish as kids, and they’re still into typical girl stuff today. For the most part, I think it makes far more sense to say that people’s childhood is a pretty accurate reflection of the adults that they’ll become. Why else would we bother to talk about subjects like childhood trauma and how much it could affect people for the rest of their lives?

@heaventtonight@xanga - that’s true, I can’t. I guess I just don’t see why her being a tomboy is anything to be alarmed about. Lots of girls are tomboys growing up and they grow up to just as happy and well-adjusted as girls who wore dresses and played with Barbies. When I was growing up, most of my friends were tomboys and we’re no worse off than our “girly” friends. The only thing I wished had been different was that I had longer hair growing up!

I personally don’t like to see people write about celebrities’ children if that child is underage and not an actor or involved in anything.  

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - Same here about the hair (haha). I guess at the end of the day we just hope that kids grow up to be the kind of people they really want to be.

I’m not saying Shiloh has to wear pink and ruffles or anything, but at least LOOK like a girl. If I lived under a rock and had no clue who she was, I’d think she was a boy. Hopefully she won’t get offended if someone ever calls her one.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - Oh right I forgot. Still, I was picky about my clothes when I was six too. Anything not pretty I would throw a tantrum. But yeah, thats just me. :/

@Cosmar@xanga - That’s Zahara, Jolie’s second adopted child. She’s from Ethiopia. And, yep, very cute. 

I dressed very tomboy-ish when I was a young girl but now as an adult I love dresses and looking feminine.  My mom always tried to put fancy dresses on me when I was younger and I just would not have it.  So I don’t think it’s always about what the parent wants or makes the kid dress like, it’s just different for each individual kid and how they decided to take in information (people they see or media).  Shiloh is cute, I wonder if she really is interested in clothes or not, or if her parents just pick out stuff for her.

@TheBeautyGuru - i don’t think shiloh is picking out her own clothes at six years old

Honestly I expected more cuteness considering she’s the child of the “two sexiest people in Hollywood” She’s not really cute… 

Yep I’m a bad person but I said it. 

My daughter started dictating what she would wear at two. At first it was anything pink, then it was only comfortable clothes, no jeans, no stiff materials and no flowers. At 14, she has started to develop another unique style: not too girly, not too unisexual, still comfortable. I encourage her to be herself, and clothes are an expression of who you are. Not all kids care about what they wear at a young age, but some do. Zahara and Vivienne seem to have a definite style of there own. I might also point out that these styles change in childhood. It was not that long ago that Shiloh was wearing dresses and carrying baby dolls around at all times. Let kids be themselves.

I was a tomboy when I was a kid, mostly because I from 3rd grad to 5th grade I was then only girl in my small little class and then I naturally just got along with the boys a lot better then the girls. They were like my best bros, and they were funny. The girls were a bit annoying in elementary school. I wore my brother’s old basketball shorts a lot as a kid. In the summer I was all about basketball and soccer, and hanging out with my friends.
I still have a bit of a boyish type style, but not nearly as bad as it use to be. Also just because you have a tomboy style when you are a kid doesn’t mean you will be gay when you get older! Some girls would just rather have adventures and play pirate and treasure hunters then having to sit around and play tea cups. But I also blame my mom a little, she took away my pretend make up set when I was like 4y/o, so if she wanted me to become more girly she should have let me play with it. It was only pretend. Silly mommy. toys are for kids. Anyway yeah, I trying to wear a bit more feminine style now. But I think I can relate to my guy friends a bit more, and I know if I’m in a relationship I would much rather us start out as friends and get to know each other’s strength an weaknesses and see each other as a partnership going toward the same goal then, just dating someone. I don’t really like how people just date around. I would much rather be courted and marry my best friend
Oh well…I went sooo off topic lol.
Point being…don’t worry about the kids let them just be them, and they will be ok.

@Ellelarien@xanga - Do you really think she picked that shirt out herself???  Like she even knows who the Ramones are!

It’s like that photo of Miley Cyrus wearing an Iron Maiden shirt….cmon gimme a fuckin break!!!

Oh and please stop saying “after the cut”. It looks stupid.

holy shit i thought it was a boy…….

i was a huuuuuuuge tomboy but my mom made sure to remind my i was a girl by throwing in some flowers here and there. they’re setting this kid up to be a lesbian.lesbians are cool though

@ColorMehGreen@xanga - 
I thought the exact same thing.

Maybe Shiloh cut some of her hair or put gum in it and they had to cut her hair really short. Maybe Shiloh is more athletic and not into the really girlie aspect like Suri is. I think that parenting style also plays into the way children dress. (It looks like her “haircut” is growing out.)

When I was littler, I wanted to play a lot in sports, with other kids, etc. A skirt was not a very good idea to run around and trip and fall in. As I’ve gotten older (and only recently), I’ve been discovering my feminine side. But my clothes really haven’t changed. For my every day wear, I still throw on jeans and a tee with flip flops. I will dress up in a dress if I have a formal occasion to attend.

Because I don’t know Shiloh, it’s hard to see why she dresses the way she dresses. And you’re only giving us a few pictures. Maybe she does where skirts/dresses. Maybe she is more feminine in her personality. I don’t honestly know. And honestly, she’s only 6. She’ll make her own decisions about clothing as she gets older.

Zahara is definitely the girly girl of all the kids. Even the girl twin (I can’t remember her name) isn’t really dressed all that girly, though she doesn’t dress herself. I am sure Shiloh dresses herself and tells Brad and Angie “I want to dress like Maddox” which is normal since she probably looks up to her big brother. 

@ayy_lolita@xanga - “they’re setting this kid up to be a lesbian.” haha, what? Really? She’s six and likes dressing as a tomboy. No big deal.

Pax is my fav Jolie-Pitt kid. but Shilo is cute with her tomboy way. 

@ashleynicole - Oh it definitely depends on the kid. I had STRONG opinions about what I wore for as long as I could remember. I dressed myself from age 2, and I was very particular. So not all kids just wear what their parents pick out. For Easter when I was 4, I remember going to garage sales with my grandma to get an Easter hat for church- even at that age I had an idea in my head about what I wanted to wear and went out with her to find it.

My son is 3 and he definitely has opinions about what he wears. We let him pick out his own clothes, and he often gives reasons for what he chooses. Self expression with clothes definitely starts for some (not all, but some) kids even younger than age 6.

Come on. Leave the kids alone. For real. “Anti-Suri Cruise”… like they are in some sort of a fight or one is bravely standing against what the other stands for. Or like we are all disgusted with Suri and Shiloh is a breath of fresh air. None of that is true. They’re kids. And while you might be able to accurately judge that a woman wearing a shirt slit down the front wants attention (this is frowned on) there’s no way to tell why kids wear what they wear, and no reason to care.

I like the one with the sword, because I am pretty sure that’s something she chose by herself and shows that she’s a happy playful kid.
That’s not to say I don’t like suri.

Wow. She really does look like a little Brad Pitt with Angelina’s lips. She’s a cute kid.

I’m willing to bet that at least most of the people saying that she doesn’t pick her own clothes don’t have kids, or kids her age. Go ahead. Try to make a six year old wear something they don’t want to wear. Every day. Report back with results, please. Whether or not she actually goes to her closet and chooses the outfit herself is pretty irrelevant. She looks pretty happy wearing it. All that really matters.

The kid I nanny for (nearly 3) chose his own outfit today. PJ pants, wellies and one of those hooded towels worn like a cape in place of a shirt. He was pretty proud.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - I dressed like a tomboy.. I was a tomboy… but I wasn’t bald headed or in band T shirts………………….. she just looks like a little boy. *shrughs*
Well maybe not, my teacher DID call the house when I was little to warn my mom about her concerns of my sexuality and I’m def. a fan of the the male gender

Well, maybe she was a little right.

You mean she’s the antithesis of Suri, not Anti-Suri. Shiloh isn’t opposed to Suri, just the opposite when it comes to styles.
