From ABC :
Child modeling agents say they’re being inundated with requests for models who look like Malia and Sasha Obama by companies that are trying to capitalize on the nation’s fascination with the first family, which is also inspiring more girls to consider modeling as a career.
Am I the only one who is seriously creeped out by this? Okay I get it, Capitalizing on trends and all that stuff, bit they’re kids. Seriously, let them be kids.
I know that this is how ‘things work’ bit truthfully here, and I don’t exactly feel that this is great after reading this from the New Yorker:
“It’s a very specific age and a very specific ethnicity, so there aren’t that many girls that would necessarily fit the bill.”
How adspeak of them.
So what say you? Is this really just not cool? Or is this simply the ‘way things are’?
