(47,675 posts)... "overly provocative" in photos taken of her as part of a "kid's beauty pageant". If you're going to subject a pre-teen girl to something based on sexual appeal, how the hell do you have the right to complain that it is based on sexual appeal?
That's just wrong. I sympathize with you on that issue. I have three daughters and a wife. None of them wear makeup on a regular basis (if at all) and they're all quite beautiful. They don't have to be provocative to be beautiful, but I did make my father take down a picture of my youngest from Facebook. He's a long-time and talented photographer, but I felt it was "pervert bait" if you will. He agreed. It was a stunning picture, but not one for a public forum with private information on it. And no, it didn't involve nudity. She just had "the look" in the picture.
