Sick. I can't imagine having to deal with these kinds of parents, OR, having a daughter who had to grow up around that. I grew up in So. Cal., and it was bad enough back then (especially as a semi-tomboy). I've always thought if I had to be a parent, give me a boy, oh please.
Also, I guess these mothers missed those news reports about the toxic chemicals in beauty products, a very unregulated industry. It's one thing for a full-grown woman to use these products, when she's old enough to make an educated decision. These kids are not, and need their parents to guard their safety. Chemicals accumulate in the body and a lot of things like hair dye and tanning, are going to affect a younger person even more than a grown person. These parents are awful.
