MY WORLD

LITTLE MODELS

Hi everyone! So, this is my second "My World" and, this time, I'm going to talk you about one thing that I saw few days ago on the Internet.

Well, I was on Facebook and I saw a picture of a pretty 9 years old girl. That girl is a model, and she's very famous. Her name is Kristina Pímenova. I had seen pictures of her before and I already knew her but this time she appeared on Facebook because it was declared the most beautiful girl in the world.

Yes, with only 3 years old, her mother signed up in a model agency, and she administrates her accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (those accounts have like thousand of followers). Now, with only 9 years old she has worked with fashion brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Giorgio Armani, Benetton and Vogue.


But it's that normal? I mean, can a 9 years old girl wear make-up, heels, jewelry and pose for famous magazines? I don't think so. This little girl is acting like an adult, and that makes her childhood disappears. And the worst of all is that this is not the only case; there are more girls (under 10 years old) posing for fashion magazines like they're adults.

Okay, when I was little I also dreamed of becoming a model, but now I see this girl and I know that she doesn't do the things that she should do at her age (like spend all Saturday with friends playing with dolls). I'm sure that a part of her want to have a normal life, away from the photo shoots and catwalk lights.

I think this had to stop. Modeling should be for adults only, and if a child do that, it has to be only to promote any product or any brand of clothing once or twice. Bringing these things to the extreme is never good, because, basically, these children can't decide what they want to do (their parents are who decided it), and that makes children do not have the childhood that they should have.
