Title pretty much says it all. The sarcastic side of me says that maybe in another 10 years they will allow a real face shot.
But let's think about this.
Allegedly * bristles as the criticism of the unkempt hair. Couple thoughts about that.
Archie doesn't seem to have the same issue. He seems to get regular hair cuts.
Roll this around: She is raising her daughter to be a California Girl, just like her. What does that mean and look like?
So how is this going to play out once the kid discovers what ever the current equivalent of Tik Tok is and lets loose? Goes whole hog into the showing off of herself. You know kids are better than a cheating spouse at being able to hide technology they don't want others to find out about themself.
Do we really think she will want to present herself as, well, unkempt hippy not pulled together later on? Maybe but maybe not.
In a lot of high end places, there is a lot of social pressure to wear the right clothes, have the right accessories, drive the right car and, look good at all times. Middle school is less of the pressure cooker that high school is. And, although many schools have shifted to a uniform, kids still manage to dress it up.
And, how will she look back on her childhood as a series of events where she had to stand just do, move just so in order that her face is not seen by the camera. Seen but not really seen.
What we are shown is a snip. Performative. Appearing not necessarily relaxed but controlled. Directed. Edited. Unlike real kids who are a lot more relaxed and unscripted.
We may never know if there exists alternate photos of the kids where they get to smile into the camera.
Or alternate photos where the hair is brushed or plaited.
