Bonjour to vogue Paris
Hello cyberspace and its inhabitants,
Simply put, I am Elle. A very new blogger and enthusiastic writer who, on a friday night like many teens, is surfing the internet – checking my email, looking at DBPB, and trying to occupy my mind until I begin to feel tired. So of course, I have stumbled upon a great (well a greatly debatable) post that is going to fuel my blog . . . and keep me awake for a few more hours.
Curious yet? Well, you should be. There are links below to a picture – for vogue paris – of a TEN, yes I said TEN, year old girl named Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau. Now society and political correctness dictate that right about now I should be saying that this girl should be able to “follow her dreams” and “do what she wants” but, frankly, I STRONGLY disagree. I think sending this girl into a modeling career at ten is a mistake. The effort put into making this girl look 20 is a robbery of her innocence as well as a demeaning portrayal of all young girls.
Agree? Disagree?
Let the cyberspace debate begin!

What if she was modelling kids clothes? Is it modelling that’s bad or that she’s tarted up to look like a 20-year old? Is there a difference? What if she
Although I do believe that the modeling industry is rather unstable,because of its ease of influence and ability to “mainstream” people into a socially acceptable mold, I am not entirely opposed to the idea of children modeling for kids clothing companies. So, I suppose that it is that “tarting” kids up that makes a difference. Primarily because it takes away the opportunity for an innocent childhood . . . in the sense that a child is often less focused on what to wear compared to say, who they want to play with.
