Oh, i wish they would get the World cup.....I'd like to see that debacle for sure...from far away of course. People thrown into jail for being drunk, girls told to "cover themselves", only super expensive hotel rooms available, people melting in the heat, players getting heatstroke and worse, visitors wanting to enter hotel pubs or clubs being told they must get membership....oh, i could go on forever!!!:rofl: Oh, and not to forget...visitors getting the "You must respect the culture" drilled into their heads.......footie at its best, no doubt! |

Re: The 10 year old supermodel
It's debased.
No child should be dressed up in such an adult sexualised way. I have seen similar stuff here in the US with the child pagents where under 10 year olds are made up like little tarts. Just very wrong. |
Re: The 10 year old supermodel
I don't like the kids being dressed up as adults, but the child modelling shots of this little girl are lovely. I hate the child pageant thing, but admit that I put makeup on my young girls. They both dance and require stage makeup for performances. But I always try to make them still look like little girls. In fact in dancing competitions kids are judged on their costuming and music choices and if they're deemed inappropriate for the age group, can be marked down.

As the cover of French Vogue (the adult one not the kids one), this 10 year old Thylane Blondeau is being tipped to be the next big thing. She has been styled like a mini adult and has caused a bit of an uproar. Is it right? She would have had a chaperone with her by the way and I am sure noone was lining up coke in front of her. I'm torn, I like the images, I think there is a sense of irony in there, however I also know what the industry is like and think 10 is very young to be on a shoot of that nature. Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell both started at 13 and at 10 a young girl could be shooting plenty of kids product. Shed probably be too young to shoot for teen Vogue- so is it right that shes being used in this manner? Any thoughts kids? You can see the images at the below link. http://www.wazzup2day.com/articles/1...k6iak.facebook and an article here http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/kids...805-1if5n.html Second one is just weird. |
Re: The 10 year old supermodel
First one is a bit...wrong.
But the general sentiment...don't see an issue with it. Think its up to the kid whether they want to do this or not, with direction but not instruction from the parents. Storm in a teacup - it's just an excuse to let a lot of people moan, think Vogue have done well there. |
Re: The 10 year old supermodel
My 11 old daughter showed me and stated it was 'kinda sick!' that's what I thought too!

Re: The 10 year old supermodel
:rofl: I like the pictures. She looks like a child playing around in her midget mother’s cloths though and there is no getting away from the fact that isn’t going to be conducive to getting actual women to but cloths IMO.
Much more effective and profitable surely to wait until she is a teenage child, turn her bulimic/anorexic and then make her a model? By starting so young she will never develop the electra complex needed to become a fashion model (and studies have suggested become manic depressive later in life), she will never develop attachment issues that require her to seek male attention to compensate...Or something like that...The parents are cashing in on her potential too soon you see. |
Re: The 10 year old supermodel
I love the photo of her on the child's mag cover, skipping through a cornfield as naturally as any other child, but the rest... even her portfolio shots, looking seductively over her shoulder, etc are just a bit wrong. They're too contrived, or if they're not, she's lost the air of innocence that 10 year olds really should have still, and that's really sad.
