The Scariest Thing on Disney Channel This October

Every October, Disney Channel has a bunch of ‘scary’ episodes of shows, movies, commercials, bumpers, and everything. But do you want to know what the really scary thing is, this year?

That new Shake it Up show on Disney Channel. The plot is two best friends Bella(Redhead) and Zendaya(Racially ambiguous girl) (Yes, I forgot the characters’ names) get a job on a dance show called Shake it Up Chicago or something, and they have to deal with the day to day problems of being famous. Basically, if Sonny with a Chance and Victorious had a baby, then this is what that show would be. I’m disappointed in Disney for ditching the normal person approach after Good Luck Charlie, but that’s not the real reason why this show scares me.

Bella and Zendaya are 13 and 14 years old respectively. They look way too skinny for their age(s?). And this might be my personal preference on makeup on girls, but isn’t middle school a little too early to buy out the CoverGirl aisle at Kmart? Their clothing also looks, um, revealing. In picture 3, you could see Bella’s back, which looks way too skinny. And according to the source, that picture was over a year ago. At the age of 12. They can dress however they want, but if the Glee kids get into trouble with PTC over a GQ photoshoot, and they’re in their mid twenties, why are these girls who are barely teens allowed to wear stuff that girls can’t even wear in my high school?! No, I’m not saying that I’m a perv who wants to look at girls in Bratz-esque outfits all day, but, um, if a high school student isn’t allowed to wear something that a 13 year old can(On a kids’ channel!), doesn’t that say something? Besides, the oldest kid on the show is like, 19. Knowing Disney, they’ll be pushing a romance, so, um, how is a slutty 13 year old supposed to fall in love with a desperate 19 year old realistically? :/

I mean, they could wear whatever they’d like, but, if I saw these kids in the mall, I’d think they’re wannabe middle schoolers. Maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned when it comes to clothes and make up, but my cousin, who’s 11, has been ‘dieting’(Well, not seriously, but she has horrible self esteem. Then again, she shares a room with her gym attending, fake tanned sisters who are a few years older than her… so yeah) since 2008 because people like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato make her feel fat. She’s not huge, especially compared to other people in today’s society, but 11 year old girls shouldn’t have to feel judged, fat, or forced to shop at Hollister, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie and Fitch.

I’m not hating Bella and Zedaya, but honestly. Would Disney love them if they dressed in 20 layers of turtlenecks with no makeup?

Will I still watch the show? Yes, probably. Do I wish Bella and Zedaya luck? Yes. Those two need all the guidance in the world, at this point.

  1. zendaya doesnt actually wear much makeup, but bella definitely does. and bella wears very revealing clothes. i think zendaya is milder. but they're both far too thin to be healthy, i agree

  4. Um, they are 15 and 16 and at normal weghts. It's normal for them to be as light 100 pounds if they are 5 foot. ANd zendaya is actually 115 so shes in the clear. They'll fill out when they get a little older. and there is no romance in the show.
