'Little Miss Perfect'

Aren't toddlers precious? Especially when they've been dolled up to look as though they're desperately trying to recapture the youth of their early 30s?

Sure, the Grammys are this week, but they feel so corporate and impersonal. And frankly, aren't we all a little over the corporate thing right now?
