Babes of Hollywood - child actors documentary on More 4

I did not like the picture one bit. The makeup, clothes and pose are not "pretty" they are sexy.

Many of the comments (from men!) claimed that it is not sexy. They should read "Lolita", in particular the scene where Humbert Humbert paints the toenails of his prepubertal mistress. That Lolita was fully aware of her power over a grown man is irrelevant to whether a child should be portrayed in this way. She is NOT sexually available, and should not be packaged as though she is.

Mother is trying to sell her daughter's maidenhead to the highest bidder, metaphorically if not literally. There are ugly names for this

I saw the original of that story earlier this week - I actually don't have a problem with the original pictures as images - I think they're meant to be tongue in cheek (I love the rabbits in that link!). What is worrying is how a 10 year old ended up in that situation, surrounded by photographers, make up artists etc - it's not quite trying on your mum's lippy in her bedroom is it?

Horrendous. Similarly the child beauty queen industry.
