10-Year-Old French Model Ignites Worldwide Controversy
Posted on Aug 04, 2011 @ 09:15AM
Thylane Loubry Blondeau is the most talked about model in France these days -- even if she's not quite finished with elementary school.
Yes Blondeau, only 10-years-old, is drawing tons of attention for her role in the French Vogue’s feature pictorial "Quel maquillage à quel âge?" -- or in English, “What makeup at what age?” -- in which she's fully made up, preening and posing in a sultry, seductive manner befitting of adults, along with two other preteens.

As you'd expect, the images are making many uncomfortable.
"I think that I'm seeing a very young girl being sexualized, being gazed at in a very adult way," Mommyish.com deputy editor Koa Beck told Good Morning America Thursday.

American Psychological Association senior director of women's programs Shari Miles-Cohen told ABC News, "We don't want kids to grow up too fast.
“We want them to be able to develop physically, emotionally, psychologically and socially at appropriate rates for their age."

The young model -- whose parents are designer Veronika Loubry and soccer player Patrick Blondeu -- has a personal website which features an expansive gallery of similar images.
In one image, Blondeau’s sitting on a bed topless with a boy looking toward her. The caption reads, “SHE’S NOT WEARING A TOP BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T THINK IT WOULD OFFEND ANYONE shoot me.”

"Doesn't affect them later in life?" Jon Bennet is DEAD...are you serious?

If Warren Jeff's has this kid's photo taped to the walls of his cell -- it's pornography.
This is simply the Brooke Shield's retro issue.

Did Courtney Stodden start like this? We know JonBenet did. However, there is no scientific evidence that presexualization of little girls effects them negatively later in life.

This is no different then those that watch Toddlers and Tiaras! We have gone too far and its time to start
protecting the children. Its time we just allow them to be children again. Sex is encouraged at younger
and younger age.

This is just as bad as child beauty pagents in the US!

Agreed. What next, a provocative spread with toddlers?

This reminds me of the Brooke Shields controversy many years ago. She posed nude in a bath tub and played a role as a child prostitute at age 10. About two years later, she had those infamous and suggestive jean commercials.

Actually Brooke was 12 when she filmed Pretty Baby and she was almost 15 when she did the Calvin Klein ad. I'm not saying it is any better than this...just making a correction to your post.
