My penny worth and MOO on the pictures of the girls.
It’s really not related to these particular girls but girls in general. It’s really not good for girls to be some completely defined by their looks. Even if the commentary is positive. This is very specific to girls who are far more in danger of being defined only by looks than boys. This results in their self esteem being totally reliant on what they look like, and that is usually defined by others. Alice is an extreme example of how fucked up that can get.
There is solid research that shows if you tell a young woman or any woman she looks pretty before an interview that she will underperform. You should be telling her she looks professional and confident.
I realise this has a bit of Meow as well moo.
