Apparently Pretty Girl is a big J.Lo. fan. I know...who knew? Well, I certainly didn't. Neither did Mr. Lipstick. I was all prepared to blame this exposure on her preschool teachers, but they were just as surprised as me.
It all went down like this. Today on the playground Pretty Girl was swinging, happy and carefree. She leaned back, tossed her hair in the breeze, and said, "I want hair like Jennifer Lopez." Two teachers heard it. Naturally shocked, they responded, "what?!". Pretty Girl replied, "I want hair like Jennifer Lopez."
Of course, when I arrived to pick her up this evening, the teachers just couldn't relay this story quickly enough. No detail was spared. Firstly, I have no idea where Pretty Girl heard of Jennifer Lopez and secondly, I am completely mystified that she has an idea (AND AN OPINION) about J.Lo's hair.
The only explanation that I could devise was that J.Lo. made some sort of guest appearance on the Disney channel. Implausible as that may seem, it's the best that I can do. I became convinced that JBB must have some knowledge of this. After all he is rather worldly these days, having had not one but two kindergarten girls express their love for him. Oh, yes, dear readers, two girls have said, "I love you" to my JBB. He still holds a pretty serious flame for his two preschool girlfriends (who both said they loved him as well) so in his mind he has four girlfriends. I asked him if his two kindergarten girlfriends played together. Mystified, he said no. I told him they probably weren't going to start, but I digress...back to J.Lo.'s unwieldy style influences over my Pretty Girl.
Once we were home, I relayed the entire story to Mr. Lipstick and JBB. I quizzed JBB to ascertain his recognition of Jennifer Lopez. He said, "is that her music teacher?". Hmmmmph...well, that was a dead end.
So, is there some underground J.Lo./Elmo duet out there that I just don't know about? Are her highlights and lowlights really that fabulous that minute exposure has ingrained their appearance in Pretty Girl's mind? Finally, I have a serious sense of foreboding that Pretty Girl and I will incur very large salon tabs in the future.

Too funny! Have you asked her where she saw JLo's hair?
Oh my! This is too funny! Kids are so alert about things. It's hard to tell where she was exposed to J. Lo. Maybe a magazine cover at the grocery store? I can just imagine a little girl talking about Jennifer Lopez's hair. So funny! xoxo
J.Lo fell on her bootie at the AMA!--her butt has bounce though so she bounced right up in a millisecond.
J. Lo is pretty/intelligent(knows how to market herself and make millions)...but should give up the singing and stick to dancing and acting.
I used to luve watching her dance as one of the "Fly Girls" on In Living Color--she stood out as a STAR even then.
Hey, at least she wants JLo's hair instead of Amy Winehouse.
Hey Sweetie,
LOL
I can't wait to investigate for myself when I see her. And I thought all she was really into was jewelry and shoes. This girl could be "high maintenance."
Mommy Lipstick
