French Vogue Magazine recently got themselves into a bit trouble. The popular fashion magazine featured a sexual photo spread of a 10 year old Parsisan model. The 10 year old girl, named Thylane Loubry Blondeau is shown wearing haute couture and heels with heavy make-up, while she is displaying seductive poses and puts. Thylane even did a Jean-Paul Gauthier runway show at age 5. Many people disgusted by the photos, expressed their thoughts about the magazine spread, while others defended the photos.

Chole Angyal, editor of Feministing.com thoughts:
“This isn’t edgy. It’s inappropriate, and creepy, and I never want to see a nine-year-old girl in high-heeled leopard print bedroom slippers ever again.”
Arizona State Associate professor of Psychology defends the photos as a work of art:
“Any creepy child pornographer could plead ‘artistic license. [The photos] clearly create an image of the girl as an adult woman, both in the clothing, the postures and emotional content of the images. The message is that very young girls can be dressed and viewed as young adult women.”
Thylane's mother wanted to protected her daughter from the media's negative reaction by shutting down her official facebook page. She released this statement:
"Hey guys im the mum of thylane. Something’s going wrong at the moment with thylane and bad personn in usa about pictures she made 8 months ago for Vogue. Thylane doesn’t know about the buzz and I want to protect her from the deepest of my heart. She’s so young, so we are going to close this account for a while. I know all of you are good person who like her so I send you a big kiss. thanks"

sidenote: I totally agree that this little girl poses and looks are way to sexy for her age.
