Serious teen modeling or something else, you decide?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 15th, 2009

A few years back I seen a documentary on pageant girls and with it there was a part about teen models. They explored parents and such who set up teen model sites for their girls. To do something fun, to help her shyness or self-esteem, and to earn money for college was the reason given by quite a few of the parents that would speak to the documentary’s interviewer. Is it real modeling? Would it truly further their girl’s modeling career? Since to get the most out of these sites you have to become a member or for a price it makes one go “uuuummmmm”. Not like the content is well rounded, you be the judge. If a school teacher or peewee softball coach took photos like those of one of his/her students people would be sharpening pitch forks and lighting torches. Some of the poses seem to come right out of a pinup calendar you can super impose some blonde with an aftermarket chest and not miss a beat. The original links suddenly with dead after I posted the original question……..interesting. But like a weed, you really can’t kill it. Off another site speaking of child modeling/erotica the new bud grows. Seeing that the link cannot be posted if you really want to see this is no BS you can find it by doing a yahoo search for “preteen models” hidden in the legit agencies on page 2 you will see “BEST PHOTOS OF PREETEEN MODELS!!!”, this happens to be a Russian site but there are plenty here in the US. Does a legit modeling agency really need over 1,000 photos of the girl in bikinis, booty shorts, heels, minis, and underwear? And where does the wet cotton t-shirt comes in? I never seen anything like that on ATM on Fox.
