Cod lights the touch paper. I'll fan the flames.

Yes. It's exploiting the child. They're too young to understand marketting. I'm very uncomfortable with images of children being used to sell any product.

you know, I am quite ambivalent about the modelling threads, each to their own and all that, but the one about agencies 'we' are with does seem a bit odd. especially the one with the unborn child who will obviously be signed up ASAP. just seems a bit mercenary really

I don't think the argument that 'they enjoy' it really works when you're talking about signing up your foetus either

I have my opinions but have decided to keep them to myself for the sake of harmony

Tee hee. I've got a couple of hours to kill, so why not?

OK. Hate child moggling threads. Think child moggling mums are freakish, selfish obsessives. Wish they'd bugger off and set up childmogglingalley.com and let us talk about lipstick, vile dhs and world affairs.

{grin]

Ooooh, who's the one with the beautiful foetus, then?

Child modelling is just modern day chimmeny children, but they are forced to wear make up now.

oh OK the post actually says "DD3 as yet unborn and unsigned " so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. the implication is there though....

@ contemplating signing your child up to a modelling agencybefore they are even born!

has this thing kicked off yet

lol suzywong

disappointingly, no it hasn't

I think it's rather odd that it's all "I" and "We" in the posts. I thought it was the kids doing the pushing and it was all for them

I like the way this thread and the real child modelling thread are both top of active convos though. Free speech and all that...

We just need someone with a membership of bizzykidz and a sense-of-humour bypass to join us, and then we'll be having real fun.

but none of the mums on the child moddeling threads go on the other threads - wierd.

yes i do.

Ah, but you were a real MNer before you were a child-modeller, misdee...

Yes you do misdee but that's because you are interested in lots of things and not scared of debate.

I m ust admit I never read them, horribly jealous you see

I know someone who said "Well, I fully expect this to be a good-looking baby, and I have no problem with child modelling..." only to give birth to a Neanderthal throwback with all the cutesy wutesy appeal of a brooding drunk. It hasn't been mentioned since.

i am a real baby-modelling, i make babies out of clay

yes, i agree 100%. dd1 has been approached to model. no, no, no!

Oh well, of course, ds has had the agencies tripping over themselves to get him on their books. But I stand firm and hold on to my principles. No, really, I do.

Depemds what they are modelling, if it's Guantánamo Bay holidays, then yes, probably.

I despise mogelling, but alliebaba posts here and on them and shes OK
