That seems to be changing, when half the shoppers in your local store are under the age of 18. Tweens are after everything from bras and panties to loungewear — and the company seems to be marketing directly to them. How do you feel about your tween going crazy for Pink? http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/989419/victorias-secret-pink-line-targeting-tweens Sherri Kuhn Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/989005/road-trip-music-for-kids-in-the-car We spend so much time in the car, it’s almost become a second home for our kids.
