You know funny enough I was on my way to bed the other night and flipped the TV on about 2 in the morning. Oprah was on and was interviewing a mother that had one of these modeling sites for her 12 year old I think. The idea of the project was to get her exposure to possible contract offers but the whole thesis of the site basically was people paid a membership fee to see her "portfolio" and have weekly chat sessions with her. They were asked about the members of the site and something like 85% were men over 30. They also had a deal where the members could purchase an outfit or series of outfits and send it to her and she would take pictures in these outfits and send them to the member. Surprise, surprise one of the outfits was a catholic school girl outfit. Some of the outfits this child was wearing I wouldn't wear and some of the ways she was posing I felt were pretty seductive. Now this is a freakin twelve year old for christ sake. 12 year olds shouldn't even be wearing makeup in my opinion. I think the mom was just peddling her kids flesh to make a buck. It was pretty funny when Oprah told her basically the same thing.
