I don't think this child is beautiful, either, in any sort of special way. She looks like a baby hooker in these photos and her parents are nothing but pimps.

[RoundOrangeHead]

I think she looks younger than 10 actually

[Notkatewinslet]

Wrong on so many levels that i cant even begin...

[RoundOrangeHead]

she looks like a little kid covered in make-up

[porcamiseria]

SORRY CHEERFUL YANK!

and we are staring to copy those shitty pagents anyway

Its the French now, look at Roman Polanski eh...

[minipie]

I haven't read all the thread but most posters seem to be concentrating on the effect of the photo on the girl and on other young girls.

That's very important of course, but there is also the effect on the women who will (mostly) be reading the magazine.

We have long been encouraged to aspire to look like 18 year olds... then 16 year olds... 14 year olds.... We're now being told we should aspire to look like 10 year olds? WTF?

Please can we have models that are actually the age that might buy and wear the clothes they are advertising?

[scottishmummy]

well a 10yo dressed inappropriately is a talking point

[LolaRennt]

Thats a point minpie, but I expect adults to know better than to swallow this shit and prefer to save my outrage for this kid and the horrible drug addled/anorexic future I'm imaging for her

[CheerfulYank]

It's okay, it's just...I mean, I don't watch Shameless and think that's what all Brits are like! :) The reason Toddlers and Tiaras is so newsworthy is that we're all shocked by it too.

[GhoulLasher]

Lola we're MEANT to know better but it's a slow drip, drip of perfect images bing fed to us that has damaged our veiw of the body and what's normal/desirable.

If Vogue set a precedent for the use of tiny little girls with flawless skin and little girls bodies...well the next generations have had it haven't they?

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

Ghoul, exactly. Messages like this are insidious.

[LolaRennt]

I don't think this is the start of a new low of younger girls, I think Vogue thought they could cause outrage by using one poor little girl and her stupid parents for media attention and they did. It wasn't meant to be the norm, it was meant to cause talk

[TooImmature2BDumbledore]

What makes me sad is that if I had just glanced at that photo, I probably wouldn't have realised the girl was only 10. She differs only in height from the normal run of stick-thin, flat-chested models used in Vogue and other fashion magazines. Some of them are probably only 5 or 6 years older than her, and yet they are held up as the standard for all women. What happened to the womanly figure?

Agree with minipie.

[GhoulLasher]

Yes but Vogue are a very powerful outfit. It's VOGUE ...they're part of...the very centre of fashion and if they say "little girl chic" is the next big thing then that's what goes.

It' a follow on from this kindof thing

Which came out of Japan and has snuck into the UK and USA.

[LolaRennt]

Weird.

And some warnign next time please, am now paraniod that I have google imaged lolita.

[GhoulLasher]

It's a novel Lola and also the name of a very popular style of dress all over the world. It's not like googling something dodgy ffs.

[LolaRennt]

It was joke ffs

[Xenia]

As a libertarian I would not ban it but I don't think girls can look attractive in that kind of way until they are 13+. So it only really has a shock value.

[GhoulLasher]

Oh. One of these might have illustrated it beter Lola...

[ouryve]

Agreeing about the gold dress. In what world is is alright for a 10 year old to be posing on a bed with a come hither look

[mippy]

Aside from the weirdness of a ten year old posing that way...it doesn't suggest to me that those clothes will fit an adult body. I have seen models in Vogue that look fourteen or so, and this is always what I think.

[sherbertdipdab]

Yes first they (fashion industry) slim women down to an 'ideal' size 0 and now they want us to look like we are aged 0.

[mippy]

Lolita fashion is a different thing - it's very culturally specific and doesn't translate exactly to Western culture but it's about a style of dress, not wanting to be a child - just as goths don't actually want to be vampires.

This girl is really beautiful, but they have dressed and posed her like an adult in some of these shots, and that's the difference.
