The above is one of five photos assembled at
Sociological Images, from a photo spread in the December issue of French Vogue (article title Cadeaux = "gifts").
The series of photographs is another piece of evidence of the adultification of young girls, an adultification that looks suspiciously like child porn, given the sexualization of adult women. New York Magazine reports that the girls are 6 years old. Don’t miss the lipstick, high heels, and disinterested pouts.
More at the source, with links to previous posts on this rather disturbing topic.
Seems more like a comment on the juvenilization of fashion photography, selling the idea that "you can never be too pretty or rich or young."
ReplyDeleteto put it in perspective, they just learned their ABC's. Sickening.

ReplyDeleteShades of JonBenet Ramsay (Sp?). I find this disgusting. Since when did parents of little girls start pimping them for pedophiles?
ReplyDeleteThis is not a 6-year-old. Do people not do the most basic of research? This is a well-known shoot of Thylane Blondeau, who was 10, nearly 11, at the time.
