It's not changed a lot
Pierced ears on babies, little boys in tuxedos.

Would you tattoo your kid? No? So why shove metal through their ears? I can sort of understand it in a global, cultural sense, but doing it so you can shove the latest Elizabeth Duke 2ct creole fashions in your 8 month old's lobes is beyond me.

Small children in tuxedos or prom dresses. Gives me Athena-based shivers of sepia/coloured posters of 2 year old kissing at weddings. Kids should wear kid's clothes, it's their only opportunity to run around in dungarees and be taken seriously. Believe me, I have tested this.

This also brings me to mini-skirts and high heels for pre-teens. Just... inappropriate.

I sound like my mother. Thank you.

they'd tattoo their kids if they could.

cockbrush
i mean tuxedo as in TUXEDO - otherwise I'd say black tie. I know the difference.

The cutsie, nasty velvet jobs with bow ties and white ruffly shirts that are apparently 'darling' on children with gelled-up hair. Belm.

Apologies
Was a knee-jerk reaction to the word without stopping to think you might be using it for ironic effect (I posted something earlier about teenagers wearing "tuxedos" to "proms").

At my cousin's wedding a year ago the bride's nephew, who could have been anything up to 6, was in one of those outfits, topped off with gelled-up mohican.
