Are these photos too sexy? I can't tell the age of the girls (too much make-up). They appear to be about 7 or 8? My first inclination was that it was too sexy. Then I actually looked at the clothes and not the girls. The clothes and accessories are fabulous - I'd wear the stuff. Therein lies the problem, I'm a mature, sophisticated woman, these pieces are for somebody my age.My little one thought the pictures were "really cute". She said it looks like they are playing dress up. She ought to know, I'm forever making her take my heels off. The photo shoot appears in the current issue of French Vogue.
Is this just another push to mainstream the sexualization of little girls, by making it couture and classy? What do you think? Too sexy, or innocents playing dress up?

I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the photos... not sure how long I am going to leave them up.
the early sexualization of young girls contributes to a host of psychological problems, including issues of cognitive functioning, physical and mental health, and healthy sexual development
Isn't "over sexualization of young girls" an oxymoron?
A couple look more like five or six. Portraying children in this way adds to child trafficking and exploitation - my opinion. Sad that these children (and the parents) think this is the appropriate way to be accepted, gain attention and make money.
Wow...very disturbing.
These pix in at magazine, unfortunately, are a pedophile's dream come true.
I've got a 20 y.o. daughter that rarely wears make-up, and never would dress like this.
Emerge, you have my vote to remove these pics. Totally inappropriate.
Those pics are just wrong!
The ick factor for me:
1. The poses. I don't love all the makeup and some of the clothes but it is really how were told to sit/lay/drape themselves that is offensive. 6 year olds playing dress up are giggly and smiley, not pouty and lethargic. It would be more tolerable if they were presented as little girls playing dress up vs little girls posed as women.
2. All the leopard print. They are little sex kittens, isn't that cleaver? Gag, that is so gross.
