I realised before I posted that a lot of models are children and we critic them here.
I know English is not your first language but I do not agree with the word "children" for teens. "Minor" maybe but we're not talking about legal stuff. In my mind a "child" is much younger, like undeveloped. And in a few dictionaries I just looked in, it's the same, "before puberty" and things like that. I see you're in Italy where if I remember right they are "good to go" at 13 or 14, so I guess "children" are screwing over there?
A 15 year old actress on the other hand is doing a completely different job, which has little to do with a specific look and more to do with the skill of the person.
No, wrong. If you think looks aren't
super important for a young actress to succeed you are living in a dream world. Yes skill is important but looks are extremely important. It's not as different from modeling as some ppl think, yes looks are less important for actresses than models, but skill is important in modeling too. Oh and who are you again? You have three posts all year before this one (and like five all last year) so your opinion is kinda
.
Back to the subject, AB was right that the 2012 pictures of Kiernan she was def too young for us to be critiquing. But I looked at some recent pictures of her and I say fair game. I just think with actresses it's a case by case thing. If you look at someone and they aren't even developed yet then it's obviously not right. Just use your brain!!
With models my rule is simple. If they are signed to an agency, they are fair game, case closed. You sign with a modeling agency knowing full well what it entails, and managing your body is a
big big part of it.
If everyone wants to bitch and complain about how the world is, and cry about how you don't think actresses should have to look good, then that's superduper, but take it somewhere else. I've heard it all. Maybe join a dramatic society and recruit ugly, talented people to your production. Good luck with that!
Same with the fashion world. Fashion agencies sign girls very young, and for good reasons. If you don't think they should, go start a petition on Tumblr or whine on TFS.
Both industries are not perfect but they're way more good than bad. If you want to bitch about them and the reality then do it somewhere else. If you want to discuss celebrity and model bodies and looks then that's a big part of what we do here. If you see a thread and you think she is too young, PM one of us or, better yet, maybe have the grace and class of
@espressoenthusiast and do like she said "if i don't like it, i don't have to contribute."
