Yet TLC is still showing Toddlers and Tiaras, so are we that much better? I saw some of these images on another site, it’s just so messed up.

Are women suppose to want to emulate the bodies and looks of a 6 year old? I am pretty sure there is a weight limit for models now a days that they aren't meeting, and there should probably be an age limit too. I think Vogue is getting their fair share of attention from the photo shot. It is a sleazy and cheap way to grab the attention of viewers. It is good to talk about the issue and why it is bothersome. Although the smartest thing we could all do, as an audience, is to not bother to purchase the Vogue issue. It would show them that an articles like this is not what we want to look at or be a part of. I am confused, maybe among others, why 6 year olds are used to represent a sexy clothing line in Vogue.

Seriously? I'm sure everyone wants their daughters to grow up with shortened tendons, bunyans, and arch pain. This isn't just a little girl playing dress-up with her mom's stuff - look at the larger version of the image and you'll see the shoes were made for her and fit perfectly. Blech. P.S. Nice tiger head there. Start the foot problems off early: spiked heels? Seriously? I’m sure everyone wants their daughters to grow up with shortened tendons, bunyans, and arch pain.
