J.Crew Ad Showing Boy with Pink Nail Polish Sparks Debate. Making boys *Fairies*

A J.Crew ad that shows a top designer painting her young son's toenails neon pink has some parents and doctors seeing red, FOXNews.com reported Monday.

The image appeared in a feature called " Saturday With Jenna ," which was emailed to customers last week and highlights a few favorite products of J.Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons -- including the hot pink Essie nail polish seen on her son, Beckett.

The caption below the picture reads, "Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."
