As of last month, all Club Libby Lu shops have been closed. The parent company says the chain was not a money maker for them (really? With the price for a Libby Do?)

I have to say, I’m torn. If that store was around when I was a girl, I would have wanted to live in it. My girls both loved the “pinkness” of it, and had a great time getting a makeover.

But, there is the argument that makeover-type stores geared for girls are encouraging our daughters to grow up too fast.

I definitely see both sides of the makeup aisle. But, for me at least, it comes down to this: My girls are watching and listening to their mama – and forming their own values.

And that cannot be bought nor applied in a 30-minute experience at a pink-a-licious store.

What do you think?
