Is 12 too young to be a runway model?

[missile]

As most of the models seen are built like under developed 12 year old girls anyway, all this is doing is putting those old hags out of work:roll:

A few parents would only see the fantasy and project their own dreams upon their child.

I think another group would postpone the fantasy for a few years even if they liked the idea.

I feel however the majority would insist the child wait until she was able to handle the sexual connotations of the work - and there are many - and the age would vary with each child but
sixteen and above for my own personal taste.

Still: Karrie is a responsible woman who has accomplished much in her life with a serious go get
attitude - and as she describes her daughter - that little person seems adult beyond her years - so
Karrie may be feeling that her own child could make a sensible decision and carry it through with
success.... dunno....guessing...

I think 16 makes a lot more since sense the age of Canada of consent in Canada is 16. How much sense does it make for the fashion industry putting 12 year old girls up on the runway strutting their stuff and acting like adults? This girls is not selling kids cloths. I think the whole runway format is the wrong way for the fashion industry to promote kids clothing. I just don't see how we as a society can on one hand glorify something and at the same time make it illegal. What is wrong with us and how did we develop such a hypocritical value system.

To quote Budy Guy:
"We tell your kids sex is bad for them and then we thow it in their face"

Personally I hate the fashion industry. The send completely the wrong message. The need for the fashion industry to always present a younger, skinnier, b!tchier look in my opinion has gotten very sick, twisted and perverted. To me what is beautiful is someone healthy, loving thoughtfully and responsible.

What the fashion industry tells is we should desire someone that who is angry, has an eating disorder, barely has the muscle mas need to function, has their head stuck up their a$$, is immature, has an attitude problem, is a pampered prissy b!tch and so young they are illegal. Now I know a lot of models are great people just doing their job but their job sends completely the worng message.

Agree totally - the message is wrong - beauty has become bizarre - rather than loving and pleasurable.

Can you imagine the following the beauty industry would have if they promoted health, proper living habits, eating sensibly, and putting weight in reasonable places instead of the near death scenario they paint the 'uber model' figure.

No wonder the tranquilizer and anti-depressant industry is flourishing - people are trying to reach the impossible - and strangely enough to replicate each other.
