this makes me kinda sad. now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a girly girl. in fact, i consider myself somewhere between tomboy and girly girl. i love sports and football and beer and "hanging with the guys". but i also love dressing up and wearing makeup and looking pretty. 

my sister is actually a good example of the mentioned article. she is far from a tomboy. she loves pink and purple and dresses and cheerleading (yes, she's a cheerleader at age 7). at that age my two best friends were named ricky and seth and we hung out during recess on the playground. we couldn't be any more different. and that's fine. just kinda weird to think of the "tomboy" as a dying breed. then again, we didn't have hannah montana when i was a kid.
