7- yr. Niece-daughter of a different sister: she just finished warm season of soccer and will be starting hockey for lst time this fall. Also enrolled in gymnastics. Enough distractions from Barbiedom and princess stuff but she occasionally wears pink/purple, etc. It appears to me, she's outgrown her dolls since I didn't see her dragging out any or see any evidence.
24-yr. old niece-daughter of yet another sister, is a geotechnical engineer with a great career right now. Yea as a kid, she did the nail polish pretend stuff, some pink clothing (but not everything), etc. She went to a family wedding this summer, as a guest, dressed in khaki pants and casual jacket. OK. Girliedom is so distant right now to her. She didn't seem to wear any makeup at this dressy function.(Yay!!!! She gets the message right about empowerment.)
