From the Today show....
A 13-year-old "catwalk" international model from Australia. The dear baby who had more makeup on than I've worn at several formals, says she believes that if you can do a job (a job at 13), then she ought to be allowed to strut wearing what she choses. She says she doesn't do swimwear, but then they showed her in a swimwear shot. And of course, she had the classic stage mother. That's right, ma, send your baby out into a world known for eating disorders, drug use, wild parties. Hmmm, could it be the fame, the paycheck? What next, toddler models not walking deemed too old when they can stand? Jance Dickerson (sp probably wrong), described by her herself as the world's first supermodel, requires her agency models to be 18, high school grads.
At 13, my parents would have flipped had I dressed 10 years older. I bought a bikini at 14 that probably sent a record for a quick return to the store--my mother told me to find the rest of the suit, or return the scraps. Yes, I know everybody is doing things younger now, but then what does that leave when you allegedly are mature? This one hit me wrong.
