The fact is this is a Contest Win and the opportunity for this young lady to progress with it appears the support of her Parent.<BR/> <BR/>14yo Monika Jagaciak progressed well in Modeling, 13yo Camila Finn was discovered by Ford Models, Adriana Lima began at 13, I believe Daniela Borges was also 13.<BR/><BR/>I am never ceased to be amazed at how people can confuse teens modeling with the problems caused by High Fashion Designers and Top Fashion Magazines like Vogue who previously encouraged images of unrealisticly thin models. In a world where Child Obesity and Kids going off the rails are issues, we should be encouraging the enthusiastic young talents who wish to progress, surely it is no different to those who aspire to be Gymnasts? If the background environments within Top Modeling is an issue then surely it is for the industry to clean up it’s act and not just ban youngsters.<BR/><BR/>In addition I also see many many youngsters paying to join 'So Called' online Talent Profile sites placing the minimum of info and expecting to become a star with barely any input, some of these youngsters are unsupervised on the net and in their hurry to be a Model or a Disney Star they actually place personal contact information in the forums, now I consider that more of a scary issue than that of Maddison Gabriel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276460043263700723.post-56723209522597668722008-05-05T22:39:00.000-05:002008-05-05T22:39:00.000-05:00And then there was Monika Jagaciak, the 14 yr old ...And then there was Monika Jagaciak, the 14 yr old Polish model. I think these children look gorgeous, but it's eerie seeing them all dolled up strutting the runway in adult clothes. I say they should start high fashion modelling at at least 18. Any younger, maybe for teen clothes.Lil Midgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217766126881892271noreply@blogger.com
