seriously, wtf?

#@!

She's ten years old and she's already objectifying herself. Terrific.

[Savannah]

Even the 20 years olds can not cope with getting famous. I don't know what they did to make her family let their daughter be a model at this age. But seriously it's sick.

And little girls look like midgets when they apply thick make ups to their faces.

well actually model agencies routinely scout pre-teens for their potential...and then basically groom them to become top models.....this one just got the vouge shoot a tad earlier than normal...other wise she would have been in a gap kids ad or a benetton ad.....sad but true.....(also french and they are a tad more modelcentric)

Yes it's something different than modelling for gap kids or benetton kids. She's too young to be the face of the vogue.

in the US probably...but frnce has a somewhat different attitude

[CottonCandy]

I wouldn't think there's much wrong about child models as a concept... I mean, there is a market for branded kids wear and someone has to advertise them. But they should let be children and wear children's clothes. Showing "cleavage" and wearing heels and make-up like an adult doesn't seem comfortable with me.

Some pedophile at Vogue is very happy to see that picture appear in their magazine!

[tanqgirl]

like cottoncandy said, i think that's more of the main issue people are having...that yes there are children models but they're wearing actual kids clothes and arent doing "model" faces, usually they're laughing and playing like children do...where as this little girl is doing what an older model does and wearing the same clothes just a lot (well, maybe not) smaller

i'm not sure how i personally feel about it though.

I don't think you can blame a ten year old girl for this. But I'm disgusted with the parents. They shouldn't let their child get so objectified at an age when she's definitely not old enough to be conscious about the way these pictures are seen by the rest of the world. My problem with this is not the modeling-thing itself, it's the way of intentionally putting sexual signals where they don't belong - to a child that hasn't even reached puberty by now.

^indeed.

I'm afraid she'll have to stay under the spotlights and do this serious&sexy model face for the rest of her life. She's just a ten year old, i'm sure she'd rather playing with her friends at garden instead of doing this photo shoot.
I don't blame Vogue as much as i blame the parents of this little girl.

Am I the only one who thinks that this little girl is being forced to grow up to fast?

That was what i tried to say on the above post. It's not fair, she should have been enjoying the last years of her childhood.

Okay, I just wanted to know if anyone agreed with me.
