Yet you felt the need to include a link, to encourage people to click on it Hmm

MagicMary1 · 27/12/2016 16:35

Well I'm trying to expose it as wrong.

There's a link to another article below in which Rande Gerber has posted similar pics online.

Blame the parents on this one.

Not sure really as she's in a public place and is a model already. I do get your point though it's a bit creepy as she's 15.

She is stunning though and looks healthy and happy so that's good at least.

Erm shesamodel

Bluntness100 · 27/12/2016 16:39

They are trying to promote her as a model, so they will have a different view to the rest of us on this, but I agree, too many pics here, it's salactious and she's still a child. 😞

BoiledSprouts · 27/12/2016 16:42

Creepy.

Child modelling is a dodgy area anyway. I don't think children should be doing any modelling that's scantily clad or sexualised in the first place.

Runny · 27/12/2016 17:02

Very creepy. I'm not sure why Cindy and her husband are so desperate to pimp out this child out to all and sundry? She's still be beautiful when she's a bit older. Just let her be a kid ffs.

GloriaGaynor · 27/12/2016 17:08

I totally agree, I said so on their site. They love nothing more than pics of scantily clad underage girls.

But at the same time, her parents could be protecting her from paps and they seem quite happy with her media exposure.

Personally I think she's too young.

OurBlanche · 27/12/2016 17:08

As others have said... she is a model, daughter of a supermodel, who will know all the ins and outs of the industry. If she and her kids want to continue in the industry that is their prerogative.

And that is a picture of a perfectly normal 15 year old girl dressed appropriately for the beach. What about it do you think is disgusting and should be covered up / removed from the public eye?

OurBlanche · 27/12/2016 17:09

Oh and some of you need to revisit your choice of indignant words... pimp out? Really?

Probably says more about the poster than the people being discussed!

GloriaGaynor · 27/12/2016 17:11

You don't see the Guardian posting those pics, Blanche.

Empress13 · 27/12/2016 17:12

Never quite understood how someone can be a Super model ??? You're a model end of

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 27/12/2016 17:13

Doesn't her brother feature in those photos (equally stripped down)?

Kirstyinnorway · 27/12/2016 17:13

I'm more offended by the cheesy, grammatically-stunted captions to be honest.

"Kaia looked like she was on a Teen Vogue modelling shoot despite just having a lark with her also genetically-blessed brother, Presley"

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 27/12/2016 17:16

Shock horror! 15 year old girl wears bikini on beach!

I failed to see anything disturbing in that "report".

And they aren't "pap" shots. Someone's been asked/given permission for those photos.

Runny · 27/12/2016 17:17

Blanche they've been pushing her into the spotlight since she was around 11/12.

OurBlanche · 27/12/2016 17:17

You are quite right, Gloria - mainly because I don't read any newspaper these days, they are all devoid of journalism, full of adverts and no longer bear any resemblance to the newspapers I remember as a child! They all look like cheap versions of Hallo! to me Smile

Isn't that what the British public want these days? Instant gratification and News-Lite?

OurBlanche · 27/12/2016 17:18

Yes, Runny pushing her maybe, pimping her out??

GloriaGaynor · 27/12/2016 17:20

It doesn't sound like you ever read the Guardian Blanche, it has never even vaguely resembled Hello.

You can't go wrong with the FT. Wink

Runny · 27/12/2016 17:20

Same thing.

RestlessTraveller · 27/12/2016 17:21

She's a 15 year old girl in a public beach, any feelings of 'uncomfortableness' is surely a problem with the viewer, yes?

Or should we be telling our girls to cover up so they don't make people uncomfortable? Confused

ashtrayheart · 27/12/2016 17:23

Nothing wrong with a 15 year old in a bikini - but the Daily mail article is revolting. Objectification of a young girl - hardly any comments about her 'genetically blessed' brother who is mentioned in passing.
