These are two girls who have gained widespread media attention due to controversy over what is apropriate for young girls. To the left is ten year old French model Thylane Loubry Blondeau who was at the center of a large media outcry last summer because of the provocative French Vogue spread she posed for. To the right is 15 year old Margaret Palermo or “Venus Angelic” who has attracted attention for her childlike “living doll” Lolita makeup tutorials. Both stand on extreme ends of the spectrum with one who has grown up too fast and another who wants to maintain an innocent look. I wonder what are people’s opinions on this issue. Are girl’s being pressured to grow up too fast? Is the fashion industry partly to blame? Is there anything wrong with wanting to remain childlike?

  1. etherealimperfection answered: Its an interesting debate, but the scary question is - since when did being a child ever become a create-able ‘look’ not what you are.
