Disturbia

OK. Just wtf, this is really disturbing. These little girls, named Lea, Prune, and Thylane were photographed for Vogue Paris and clearly, they're really young (say.....6-8?) and something about this that is kind of wrong..... I mean they're playing dress-up, what little girl hasn't? I'm not going to lie, they look freaking fierce. They're not showing any skin really either so it's not like they're whorish in any way. It's kinda cute and cheeky but it makes me squirm. Maybe I'm just a prude, but I think kids should look like kids, not mini-models or adults. I guess it's meant to be controversial and help us question what 'appropriateness is.' Young models have faces just like these girls, but with 'adult' sized bodies (i say 'adult' because that's quite debatable), and are often found in similar editorials in terms of posing and aesthetic, but somehow, its OK for them to do so just because they're maybe 16+. I mean they still look like little girls....so why isn't it right for actual little girls to do the same? I don't know.....

It really reminds me of this:

Creepy pageant girls freaking scare me (What's more terrifying however, are the parents :S:S:S wouldn't wanna mess with one of those bitchez). Obviously these girls aren't styled as well and are WAY more fake/spray tanned/face toothed, but there are some similarities.

Anyways, It's really late so I gotta go to bed, but please feel free to leave any of your thoughts or opinions or reactions to those photos.
