Ames - I won't even begin to go into how harmful modeling has been to some young girls make up or no make up. They never think they are skinny enough or edgy enough or high fashion enough. It's also a very judgmental environment. I'm shocked that you can't see the irony.
Agents can place children who look like natural children for modeling, hence they don't like make up on youngsters. Make up on kids is a no-no in modeling because of what they are looking for and selling. Pageants want girls to look like made up little beauty queens and little girls playing the ultimate game of dress up. Do I think it's weird. Yup. But it is what it is and nothing more.
Both can be harmful in instances, but on the whole...there is a lot more public criticism of modeling in the media for the images it suggests girls should live up to.
Thank God, it is changing with Heidi and Tyra etc. but the runway mentality will never change. Skinny is it baby.
I don't think either is harmful if the child really wants to do it and they are grounded by non-sociopathic parents.
