Dariela Flores Paper 3 P.O.V. “The Bride,” written by Christine Granados, is a story about a Hispanic teenager whose dream wedding was interrupted by teen pregnancy. Since Rochelle was a little girl she was obsessed with having an extravagant “white wedding.” Throughout the story the younger sister Lily tries to snap Rochelle back to reality and get her to appreciate her Mexican culture.

Orenstein then sets out to explore the possible answers to her daughter’s question. The princess “trend,” Orenstein tells us, has taken over the media, jumping from $300 million in revenue in 2001, to $3 billion in revenue in 2007, with Disney producing over 25,000 princess-related items, which she finds overwhelming. The princess craze, however is not limited to Disney as Orenstein learns; it also expands to Barbies, Dora, and Club Libby Lu. Orenstein worries how this craze will affect gender stereotyping because she thinks maybe this preoccupation will “undermine girls’ well being” and be “perilous to their [the parents] daughters’ mental and physical health” (327). But then again, she realizes maybe this obsession is a “sign of progress” (328).

They compete against other contestants for an award of money, pageant titles, trophies, and a big sparkly tiara. However I don't approve of the parents position to put their child through this, and how they treat their daughters throughout the competition. Not only are they exploiting their five-year-olds for their own personal gain, they are putting their child through so much misery to look beautiful. They live through their daughters fame and glory, and make their daughters look very high maintenance. The Toddlers and Tiara girls go through hours of make-up, to different hairstyles, and wearing big fake wigs.
