Stephen Belafonte's Angel Kisses

Smooches for his sweetie! Stephen Belafonte lays one on Angel Iris, 2, while taking a break from trampolining at the Sierra Mist Beach House in Malibu, Calif. last Thursday. The family, including oldest daughter Phoenix Chi, 10, joined mom Melanie Brown at the beach house, where she led an exercise class to promote her workout DVD, Totally Fit.

For more on this family, check out our February interview with Mel, plus see Angel in our new mini-mohawks gallery!

Comments

Here come the “oh my god! girls dressed in blue and sporting a mohawk! It is the end of times!!” comments. I think those girls look fab fab fab. Mel, though, soooo gaunt Makes her look much older. Probably the stress from reading all those nasty comments about her youngest’s hair…

- crimpe on August 6th, 2009

Phoenix is so tall! And Angel’s a wee cutie, although I can just see the rest of the comments on this post being about her haircut and outfit making her look like a boy. I love her trainers!

- Rachel-Jane on August 6th, 2009

really cute family!

and yes, I think it’s a strange haircut for a 2-year-old

- ingrid on August 6th, 2009

Mel B sure is looking good these days! And well yeah the little girls hair does look ridiculous but it’s not my kid so at the end of the day I could care less about it!

- JMO on August 6th, 2009

Odd, strange…all these ‘weird’ comments about babies. I don’t know about the rest of you all but seeing little Angel in her ‘frohawk and rock-n-roll clothes pulls at my heart strings. Save your negative comments for someone who cares. This is all about that cute baby and her doting step-father, mother, and sister.

- nettrice on August 6th, 2009

Mel is gorgeous but seems a tad too-thin. But she looks happy and that’s what matters. Her daughters are also quite gorgeous. Phoenix is REALLY starting to look like her mom; she’s gonna be such a heartbreaker. And I love Angel’s funky fro-hawk. It really goes well with what seems to be a feisty spirit.

- giftbox on August 6th, 2009

I’m glad there was a happy ending to all the drama surrounding Angel’s birth, she’s obviously got 2 parents who love her. She’s growing up so quickly, and her and Phoenix are both such good-looking girls!

- alice jane on August 6th, 2009

I think those that want to make the hateful comments should take a second to think about how it would feel if other people made nasty comments about the way they raise their kids or the way their kids look. It wouldn’t feel that great would it?

That being said…She’s absolutely adorable, quite the little individual and kudos to her parents for letting her do the simple things like choose a hairstyle and clothes. It really is a small thing to allow your kids to have and they will be all the happier for it. Who really wants to be told all the time how they can or can not look. I was grateful my parents allowed me that bit of freedom and I continue to be that way with my girls. It’s just hair and clothes afterall.

- Heather on August 6th, 2009

Angel is so so beatiful!!

I am so happy Angel has a father figure in Stephen that first picture made my heart melt

- XOXO on August 6th, 2009

stephen seems like such a sweet caring guy… its obvious how much he loves his family.
considering that he has helped raise angel since she was born I’m sure he feels like a father to her.

- fuzibuni on August 6th, 2009

She is so beautiful and I love how Stephen is with Mel’s kids. What a wonderful dad.

- Hea on August 6th, 2009

When Angel first got the mohawk haircut, I was caught a little offguard. But I have to say that in every picture I have seen of her since, she has owned that haircut! You can clearly see that Angel likes it and that’s what’s most important. You go Angel!!!

- Jennifer on August 6th, 2009

She’s a cute girl, she looks like her mom. I’m glad she doesn’t look like Eddie, her bio dad, he denied her and I think that’s his loss.

- Sandra on August 6th, 2009

Sorry, but a two year old can’t own her hair. She is beautiful, but yes she does look like a BOY! Sorry if you don’t agree but this is a place to give your comments, and that’s mine.

- Bela on August 6th, 2009

What a blessed little girl to have such an obviously caring and adoring father. Not step-father…father. Stephen’s been the only father she’s ever known and biology doesn’t make a daddy! Just like Seal and Leni – Seal is her Daddy – plain and simple. There will come a day when they learn about their biological fathers and I hope they shrug their shoulders and say “oh well – I have the BEST Daddy ever already!”

- Delaina on August 6th, 2009

the mowhawk just isn’t working?

- Diane on August 6th, 2009

Crimpe you made a bigger thing over the hair than the people who say civilly that they don’t care for the hair. It’s like when people have to make a sarcastic first comment in the Suri boards about her clothing or hair.

Heather, that being said? It didn’t need to be said. Nobody is nitpicking the people calling Mel too thin and gaunt, isn’t it hateful to comment on how SHE looks too if it’s hateful to comment on how a hairstyle looks? Cmon…

- J on August 6th, 2009

omg she is just too precious and Phoenix looks just like her mom.

I don’t get the fuss about her hair. I wouldn’t give my daughter a mohawk, but I’m not Mel B. If that’s the worst thing that happens to this toddler, then she’s alot better off than alot of kids out there. I think she looks like quite the little ham, strutting her stuff all of the time. Chances are she saw a pic of Mel B’s old mohawk and said “me too”. It will grow back.

- Mary-Helen on August 6th, 2009

Melanie older daughter looks like her. I thought she had another kid or am I mistaken? Is Angel’s father Stephen or Eddie Murphy?

- robinepowell on August 6th, 2009

I’m not a big fan of Angel’s haircut but she seems like such a happy little girl and she has the BEST smile ever!

- Suzanne on August 6th, 2009

robinepowell, Eddie Murphy is Angel’s biological father but he’s not involved; Stephen has raised her since she was born.

- alice jane on August 6th, 2009

I could never shave my 2 year old’s hair. At this age, we’re trying to grow out her hair, not shave it off. But it’s not just Angel’s hair I dislike. I’m not a fan of the shaved or “buzzed” look on females period.

- Nicole on August 6th, 2009

who cares if she “looks like a boy”

I think she looks adorable and I don’t think she looks like a boy at all. Would it be better if they dressed her in bright pink dresses to combat the fact that you dont’ like the hair because it makes her look male? -eyeroll-

- ericka on August 6th, 2009

in the 1st pic, i didn’t even care about or even notice her hair! the thing that struck me right off the bat was, how wonderful for that man to step in & becone a caring father to this little girl! in fact, 2 little girls… what a true man.

- jesse on August 6th, 2009

Beautiful photos and Angel is very lucky to have a great father in Stephen. Now, he is a real man!!

As for the hair, I don’t like it. If Mel likes it, why didn’t she cut her own hair like that? or even her eldest daughter? but she gives it to the child who doesn’t have a say in the matter.

- Lisa on August 6th, 2009

It looks like someone wanted a boy.

- Corina on August 6th, 2009

I don’t know about anyone else, but my 2.5 has a say in her hair, whether I like it or not. Maybe not in the cut, but if she doesn’t want a ponytail or her headband in, out it goes and there is no putting it back in. My daughter today was rocking some sticking up crazy curls after removing her ponytail. Mel B had a mohawk @ one point, so as I have said before, perhaps Angel saw a pic and said “Like Mommy” so Mel B figured, why not?

Lots of other kids have had their parents put their hair in mohawks and there wasn’t this much hoopla. Kingston Rossdale has a flock of seagulls, Maddox Jolie-Pitt sported a mohawk that was bleached and dyed blue, orange, you name it and Landon Barker has had his hair shaved into a mohawk since he was Angel’s age. Most of these parents were praised for allowing their child’s creativity to “shine” even though they are or were Angel’s age. Is it because she’s a girl, because I don’t think there are any rules on mohawks being a “boy” hairdo. If everyone feels so strongly about children not having hairstyles when they can’t choose, then I guess no one here cuts their toddlers hair, or puts it in pigtails, ponies or braids. After all, they can’t choose those either. Alot of little girls must have long, shaggy hair that sits in their eyes.

- Mary-Helen on August 6th, 2009

her older daughter is dressed exactly the same – maybe Angel wants to be just like her older sister?
I think they’re adorable!

- Rachel from Boston on August 6th, 2009

AWWWW! I love the pic of Angel and Stephen! Angel is such a little doll, and Stephen obviously loves her more than life itself! And Phoenix is the spitting image of Mel! Great pictures!!!

- Brianne on August 6th, 2009

Personally I’m not a fan of the hair. I think it does look a little too much like a boy’s, which is a shame b/c she is a beautiful girl! It’s not just her either, I’m not a fan of this look on Rhianna either, or any other celebs doing it now. And I’m sorry , but it’s one thing for a 2 year old to pull out a ponytail, something else entirely to decide how they want it cut. Even so, Angel is such a pretty baby, and so lucky to have Stephan as a daddy. You can tell how much he adores her, even if she’s not technically his.

- Shannon on August 6th, 2009

Comment # 14: Icouldnt agree with you more,nobody is being malicious in there comments by saying what they feel,she is a lovely child nonetheless,speaking by personal experience my mother dressed and cut my hair like a tomboy all through my child and people constantly mistaked me for a boy. I got teased senseless in school which wasnt fun and still have bad memories so I apologize if some of you may think Im being harsh by saying mowhawks dont look very good on little girls, hence topping it off by dressing them in boys clothes too,,sorry I speak from my own experinces and just my opnion,but yes as somebody stated earlier its not my child

- annie on August 6th, 2009

I, personally, would not choose that hairstyle for my little girl. Having said that (and please read beyond that first statement), if the little girl really, really wanted that hairstyle, then there is really no harm in letting her choose it and wear it. I have found with children it is VERY important to choose your battles. On the BIG issues, stay firm and unbending and be the “parent” in the situation so your child will have that security, stability and the boundaries that they act like they hate, but secretly love and need to grow up feeling loved, cared for and safely limited. But, on the smaller issues, like clothing, hair, etc. (as long as it’s not immodest or vulgar, doesn’t send a grossly negative message, isn’t against school rules or doesn’t causes health concerns – like going outside without a coat when they really need one to stay warm and healthy, etc.) it’s best to let them express their opinion. If you allow that, they are MUCH more likely to come to you when they are tempted (BEFORE they are in trouble), don’t know what to do or need a parent to help with a big matter. At the end of the day, you have to be the parent. But, if you choose your battles, you will build a bond of acceptance and help alleviate fear in your child coming to you for the big stuff. Both Angel Iris and Phoenix Chi are beautiful girls with beautiful smiles and they appear to be happy.

- SouthernBelle on August 6th, 2009

J, do you recall the last post featuring Angel’s fro-hawk? It was vicious. I was actually hoping to ward off nastier comments, and it appears that it worked, given the civil nature of the comments, right? And the comments are largely debating the hair and non-girly clothing. I complimented the girls and expressed concern over Mel’s extreme thinness. I was the first to comment, so what?

- crimpe on August 6th, 2009

I think this are some cute, cool and loving pictures I’ve seen in a while… But I’m missing someone, where’s Stephen daughter Gisele?

Beautiful family! Mel & Stephen really have some ‘spicey girls’!

- Sanne on August 6th, 2009

Weird haircut or not, I think it is wonderful that man has stepped up to be a wonderful, loving father to Angel…when someone else did not.

- Emily on August 6th, 2009

That picture with Stephen and Angel is the sweetest. Step-dads totally rock! Step-moms too. My husband is the most amazing (step) dad to my two older children.

- aroundtheywaygirl on August 6th, 2009

Oh my goodness, I thought this was a boy! WHY would they make such a pretty little girl look like that?

- Patrice on August 6th, 2009

People keep saying that she looks like a boy… Because she wears what typically would be worn by boys? And she cut her hair in what I suppose some of you consider a boyish style? Clothes and hair do not decide your gender. It’s just what social structures has made you believe. Clothes are unimportant, upbringing and the people around you is what matters.

- Hea on August 6th, 2009

I love this! I love how good Stephen is with Angel. Eddie Murphy doesn’t know what he’s missing. I can’t believe he won’t have anything to do with Angel til she’s 18 because of who her mother is. Thank goodness little Angel has a loving daddy in her life…and hopefully when she’s 18 she’ll tell Eddie Murphy where to go!

- Robin on August 6th, 2009

Yeah, not ashamed to admit that I HATE the haircut. And that I think she looks like a little boy. I don’t have a problem with her clothes, I get girls can be tomboys but the hair, so not working for me.

- Karen on August 6th, 2009

stephen does make a wonderful dad to both phoenix and angel!!!! but does anyone else wonder about giselle?? that is his daughters name with his ex no??? why do we never see her with this family, she is as much a part of the fam as the rest of them!!! just curious!!

but this is a beautiful family

- ShiraB on August 6th, 2009

She looks happy and well cared for, and in the end, that’s all that matters.

- canyr12 on August 6th, 2009

Mel is so toned! Her body is SIC and I hate her!

God she looks great. No pain, no gain I guess…I wish I had her motivation. God I am about to go home and work my a***** off

- Lola Marie on August 6th, 2009

Angel is a doll, but the Mr. T haircut will never be cute on her or any baby girl. There’s no such thing as a 2 year old “owning” a hairstyle. More power to Rihanna, Cassie, or other grown women who want to express their individuality. I still say that if Mel B. wanted to hop on the trendy train she should’ve given herself a mohawk and left her baby out of it! With that said, I would never expect Mel. B to parent her children based upon what people say on messageboards but, I also highly doubt she would’ve cut her daughter’s hair if it wasn’t a trendy thing to do.

I also don’t think there is anything wrong with tomboyish clothes on little girls. Changing clothes is much, MUCH less drastic than shaving a mohawk, and for little girls who hate pink (like I did) the tomboy look is a great way of letting a child express individuality within reason.

- Erica on August 6th, 2009

I love the fact that he’s not the father to either of the girls and he seems to really take on the roll, I think that’s great! they seem so happy! I could care less about her clothes or hair
(which will grow back!) she seems so happy and loved!

- stevie on August 6th, 2009

Mel is so thin because she is so lean. When you have zero (or close to it) fat that is what you look like

- Lola Marie on August 6th, 2009

Love Angel’s little blue shoes!how cute are those?I think the family is adorable and happy.It would be great to catch a glimpse of the entire family including Stephen’s child.

- eva on August 6th, 2009

When they debuted the haircut Angel was dressed in Pink. I think she looks gorgeous. I wonder if Mel and Stephen will have any kids??

- Elzbieta on August 6th, 2009

I was wondering about Gisele, myself. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of her. I applaud Stephen for his relationships with Phoenix and Angel. More bio fathers need to step up to the plate with their children like he is with his step-daughters!

- Sarah M. on August 6th, 2009

A 2 year old CAN own a haircut. Not every child is the same. A 2 year old CAN say she wants her hair cut like that. 2 year olds DO have minds of their own. Granted, their parents have the final say, and apparently, her parents had no problem with it. Because 2 females (one famous, one not really) have recently shaved some of their head, it’s become trendy? I remember my aunt shaving the back of her head in the 90′s. Super trendy. Maybe you can’t see a child owning her style, but I can, and I do, every single day.

- Allie on August 6th, 2009

What an ADORABLE family.

- Jessie on August 6th, 2009

I’m glad Angel has a wonderful father to love her the way she deserves.

- meghan on August 6th, 2009

Maybe she got gum in it or something and that was all they could do short of shaving her entire head – which you guys would have griped about too. You never know anothers circumstances.

- Vanessa on August 6th, 2009

ShiraB, I just wanted to clarify that Phoenix’s dad is still very involved in her life. But, I do totally agree with you that Angel is very lucky to have Stephen as her daddy (and Phoenix is lucky to have him as a step-dad). Angel is clearly a daddy’s girl

- Sarah K. on August 6th, 2009

I’m not trying to change your opinion Allie, we just won’t agree on this. A couple things though: I never said 2 year olds don’t have their own personalities and opinions. I just don’t believe in indulging every whim they may or may not have. When I was 3 I wanted nothing more than to have a completely shaved head like my brother’s because I loved the way it felt to rub my hands on his head after a cut. Believe it or not I don’t believe my mom was stifling my individuality by denying this request, she was doing what parents are supposed to do when their toddlers ask for weird things. Also, there’s a big difference between your anonymous aunt shaving her head in the 90′s and an internationally famous singer doing it today. One person can and has started huge hair trends, remember Jennifer Aniston? Although I think the kids’ mohawk specifically began with Maddox, who probably got that haircut because of the natural way his hair grew in anyway. Unlike Angel.

- Erica on August 6th, 2009

I remember all the early pictures of Giselle with Stephen, Mel, Angel and Phoenix. I especially, remember the picture when Giselle and Phoenix were both pushing both pushing Angel in the stroller. I won’t judge as to whether Stephen sees Giselle based on some paps photos. I will assume he is because I have no valid reason to think otherwise.

- aroundtheywaygirl on August 6th, 2009

I am now inspired to cut the hair of my firstborn daughter into a ‘frohawk because of the negative comments in this post. My own mother indulged my whims at age 2 and I did quite well in my young life. She did not train us to be girls. She allowed us to exist outside of boxes and the pre-conceived notions adults like some of the ones commenting here have. I never had to cross my legs but I was always polite. I dressed myself by age two, as well, and who knows? I might’ve worn my hair in a ‘frohawk and been happy to do so.

- nettrice on August 6th, 2009

that little girl looks like such a Character with her faces, i get the feeling she is a funny little child with a great sence of humor , and thank god hair grows back.

- sami on August 6th, 2009

I think Mel looks awesome! One can never be too rich or too thin. She looks beautiful. I don’t think the baby’s hair is that bad, nothing I would personally choose, but I do wish they would keep her in pinks, purples, yellows, etc…just so people that don’t know what ever call her a “him” or say something like “What a handsome little boy” in front of Angel. I know when my girls were tiny and bald if they weren’t decked out pink and lace, I made sure they had a cute little headband with bows so no one would call them boys. Children need to always have their self-esteem built up as high as possible and at 2 they are very aware of what’s being said in front of them…mine could carry on complete conversations at 2 and could be reasoned with….having a little girls called a boy or vice versa could cause self-esteem issues. Little girls usually love being called “pretty” and love things like makeup, etc especially when their mom is into fashion and her apperence as it’s obivious Mel is. She sould never be put in the position to question, “is there something wrong with how I look?” even at this young age. That’s how dangerous behavior develops as they get older, if you grow up feeling not up to pare with what you are supposed to be. I know first hand, I was bulemic by age 11 because of self-esteem issues as a young child.

- Shayna on August 6th, 2009

My post was actually an “in general” post, Erin. Sorry if you took offense. I keep reading the same things about Angel not “owning” her hair, over and over again on these threads. People were saying that Mel CHOSE that style for her. We don’t know that(and we don’t know her hair growth pattern, either). People have said that 2 year olds don’t have opinions on stuff like this. What 2 year old DOESN’T have an opinion on what they want? Like I said, it’s the parents discretion. Her mom & dad said it was okay for her hair to be cut like that, so be it. It’ll be grown out in a few months. No biggie. I wouldn’t allow my 3 & 4 year olds to cut their hair like that, even though I think it’s absolutely ADORABLE on Angel. My daughter’s have super long hair, and I’m not down with the mullet. About Rihanna setting some kind of new “trend,” I really don’t think so. Most females said “eww” when she did it. 95% of the comments about Cassie were even worse. And how do you know if my aunt is anonymous? She could be Linda Perry for all you know! haha

- Allie on August 6th, 2009

cute family…
question, though, what is this sierra mist beach house? is it just an event space in la? a few weeks ago, brody jenner hosted a party there. and now mel is hosting a fitness class?

- noam on August 6th, 2009

Maybe Giselle’s mom has full custody?

- sonitera on August 6th, 2009

She’s a cute little girl! Possibly her hair is cut that way, because she cut it and it needed to be fixed, or she was injured, and it needed to be fixed? Melanie is pretty girly, and unless Angel asked for the cut, I personally don’t think someone would cut their child’s hair like that.

- stacy on August 6th, 2009

Why on God’s green earth would anyone who had a little girl like this cut her hair to make her look like a boy??????? The poor child looks like a boy to me and probably to everyone else! Let her look like a little girl, not a boy!! Come on people!

- Stella on August 6th, 2009

I can’t believe how many people are still going on and on about her hair. It’ll grow back!! I think she’s an adorable little girl. Shame on Eddie – his loss. Thankfully Angel has Stephen in her life. That first picture of them is adorable! And Phoenix is a very pretty young girl – she looks a lot like her mom.

- Michelle on August 6th, 2009

Vanessa and Stacy- ITA! How on Earth do we know that Angel’s haircut isn’t due to her getting gum in her hair, trying cut her own hair (and thus they had to fix it), or some other hair mis-hap?

That said, I LOVE that first picture, and I love how Phoenix is looking at Angel in the second picture.

Robinepowell- You’re probably thinking of Giselle, Stephen’s daughter and Mel’s step-daughter, that’s been pictured with the family before.

- CelebBabyLover on August 7th, 2009

I think it’s great that SB seems to treat Angel as well as he does.Melanie sounds like she landed a real catch,after Eddie Murphy and the hurt he did to Mel B.

But,have to say that haircut on a little girl is awful,but do not care about the “boys clothes” Parents can dress their kids anyway they wish!!!!

- TEDS22 on August 7th, 2009

I don’t like the hair, but not for the reason most people seem to. I hate the generalisations that go on because of gender stereotyping and my dislike of the hair is nothing to do with the fact that it’s a typical boy cut. I think it looks really bad on kids full stop. But what I dislike even more, is the people who think they have a right to police this website and tell others what they can or can’t say, there are admins for that. Some people genuinely seem to think that if a comment is critical or harsh, it shouldn’t be made. It’s as if they really believe a sanitary sugary sweet world where everyone agrees would be a good thing….this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, but you always see a couple such comments on each thread like this.

- Alex on August 7th, 2009

Why in the world would you cut your girl childs hair like that? Or male child for that matter.

- Tina on August 7th, 2009

I’m sure this is not PC but I do not like her haircut (and I am entitled to my opinion!). I do not understand why you would mohawk a little girl’s hair. While my 4 year old definitely has opinions about how he wants his hair styled I don’t think at 2 he could verbalize “hey mom I want you to buzz my hair on the sides” (and I have a chatty one). So I don’t buy the maybe she wanted her hair cut like that. Okay my 2 cents. Obviously this is not my child and really none of my business but still I just don’t get it!

- T on August 7th, 2009

that hair…omg…speachless…

- sil on August 7th, 2009

Adorable family!

- brannon on August 7th, 2009

Her hair looks ridiculous she is way to gorgeous to be going around looking like a little boy…buuut its not my baby and if shes happy healthy and loved it really does not matter one bit!

- Daisy on August 7th, 2009

Ok, when I first saw the picture with Stephen and Angel, I thought to myself, ‘Am I mistaken? I could have swore Mel B had a daughter.’ IDC what anyone says, that is just wrong to do to a little girl. They should be dressing her in dresses and putting bows in her hair, not shaving it off and making her look like those kids in that Jerk video. This is horrible. To each’s own I suppose but goodness…

- LiL on August 7th, 2009

Not a fan of the hairdo–but it is true that hair grows back! I love the picture of Angel and Stephen–it is great to see him being such a good daddy to her.

- Jennifer on August 7th, 2009

Angel’s hair might look strange, but it’ll grow back. Plus with the fact that she’s 2, maybe she got into something she shouldn’t have (like Stephan’s electric razor for example) so they sorta had to cut her hair like that for the summer? Who knows? (Hopefully they will let it gow back eventually though.)

Either way they look like a cute family out having fun.

- Autumn on August 7th, 2009

I am a big believer in little girls should look like little girls, the same with calling girls boys names, but that kid is gorgeous and she has attitude to go with that hair, she is very cute and its an awesome mohawk.
At the end of the day its their lives and non of our business, but they know they are going to get all sort of comments when they pose for photos for a magazine so I am sure they knew it was coming..life is too short to worry about such things.

- Shan on August 7th, 2009

both these girls look like boys..whatever floats their boats.

- Tracey on August 7th, 2009

I absolutely hate when people dress girls all in pink. Who says girls can’t wear blue? These girls look adorable. I wouldn’t give my child a mohawk, male or female but it’s not that big of a deal imo. I don’t like when people dye young children’s hair but hair grows back so haircuts don’t matter much to me.

- Jane on August 8th, 2009

LiL- Why should little girls have to wear dresses and bows all the time? Some girls don’t like those things. I also have to chuckle because people also complain about Suri Cruise being in dresses all the time. In otherwords, people don’t like it when little girls aren’t dressed all girly in dresses and stuff, and they don’t like it when they are, either. Some celebs just can’t win!

Also, Angel DOES dress girly sometimes. When we first saw her with this haircut, for example, she was wearing a bright pink outfit!

Autumn- Exactly! Like I said before, how do we know her hair isn’t this way because of a mis-hap that they had to fix?

- CelebBabyLover on August 8th, 2009

Angel is such a cutie! And I agree- that picture of Stephen and Angel was definetly an “awww!” moment!

- Jordie on August 9th, 2009

[I am speechless]

- christina on August 9th, 2009

Angel’s hair rocks!

- Terri on August 10th, 2009

I can’t believe they shaved that childs head. Not cool at all. What if Angel wants her hair long? I’m sure at that age she did not okay the mohawk. Shaking My Head.

- mermaids614 on August 12th, 2009

I know Angel is not my kid but I really hate her hair like that. On boys I don’t really like it either but on girls I especially hate it. Anways Angel is a gorgeous little girl and I think when she looked more like Eddie. Now I think she looks exactly like Melanie. I love Phoenix’s outfit and think she is a very stylish kid. Stephen seems like a great dad to Angel and even if Angel isn’t his biological kid he stepping up to the plate and taking great care of her along with Melanie.

- Kris on August 12th, 2009

What a beautiful boy!

I love this little kid. Adorable. If my 5 year daughter wanted that haircut- I would let her have it. Who cares? The world if full of conditions we have to force on our daughters. If she likes it…let her have fun with it. Life is short. Why should they conform so soon?

You only know Angel Iris is a girl because it says so and because she’s pictured with her mum. Put a picture of her on her own with no name and for sure 99.9% of people will think she’s a boy! No way would people think she’s a cute girl with hair and clothes like that, any one would naturally assume it was a boy.I’m not saying it’s wrong for her to have that hair style and those clothes, I’m just stating that she does not look like a girl. Would everyone think it was OK if a 2 yr old boy had pig tails and a pink dress on? I think not.

I think Angel looks adorable with that haircut! And seems like a happy little girl, so does it really matter how she looks?
