Thylane Blondeau, The 10-Year-Old Supermodel

Because sexualized photos of a prepubescent girl are completely normal, concern over the exploitation of 10-year-old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau has been dismissed as American puritanism. She’s from the Ivory Coast, has been featured in Vogue and has a slightly disturbing online fan base (although Tumblr seems to have taken down at least one of the blogs that was set up as an ick-inducing shrine to her). Go ahead and slap a buckle on my hat and call me Calvin, because this is creepy as hell. (via thegloss.com) View List ›
