What Do You Think?
Yesterday, Kim Kardashian posted some photos of her younger sister, Kendall Jenner, online for the world to see. They are from a modeling shoot. Kendall is just 14 and people have been saying she is too young to model bikinis and that this is another example of the Kardashian family exploiting their kids in a sexual way.
You know what? I give the Kardashian family more crap than probably anyone, but I don't actually see anything wrong with what she is doing. Lots of models who walk runways are 16 and they wear even less than this sometimes. Lots of teenagers wear bikinis on the beach. Most do I would imagine. Someone has to sell them those bikinis and it stands to figure another teen modeling those bikinis is going to do the selling. I don't think she is trying to be overly sexy in the photos so I am ok with them.
To me this is a lot different from Miley hanging onto a stripper pole and grabbing her crotch and faking kisses with other women. Am I wrong?
I don't see a problem with a girl modeling a bikini as yes, that is what they actually wear to the pool/beach. I DO have a problem with her actually being 14 though... for real?? She looks like 20!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with it - holy smokes she looks like a young Ali McGraw
ReplyDeleteShe really looks like Angie Harmon's 30 year old sister.
ReplyDeleteLet her make money legitimately, like many girls her age. Modeling is no exception....a girl in my 10th grade class modeled.
oh my...you are right! Ali McGraw!!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Enty. This child looks decent in the pictures and pretty. Maybe she looks older than 14 but still the pictures seem harmless.
ReplyDeleteJeez, how many kids does Kris Kardashian Jenner have?
ReplyDeleteShe looks a very mature 14 year old.
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope she doesn't go the sex tape, Playboy posing, NFL/NBA player dating route, and does something more constructive with her life than the female examples she has at home.
Ugh, this means in not too long there will be yet another Kardashian sister "reality" show thrown at us.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is rather scathing but you asked...
ReplyDeleteI think she has a giant head and looks just like Khloe in the top pic.
And I think "they" will tell her to lose weight due to the tiny belly I'm seeing there. Then "they" will fuck up this poor girl's life (more than her parents or siblings or shallow, greedy environment possibly already have) by feeding her coke, speed and pills to get and stay ultra-thin, and some day she might be the next rehab-attender in the news who will have that as her only form of celebrity.
The sexiness thing doesn't bother me that much, in that she looks about 20 and unless you know who she is, she doesn't seem like a 14 year old in a bikini.
ReplyDeleteI'm more bothered by the idea in this family that everyone has to be in the public eye in some way. That's just abnormal.
I also worry a bit for this girl because she is only 14 and her body is still maturing. Given how her sisters are built, it's really unlikely she will be model-skinny in a couple of years without major cocaine ingestion. So it's just kind of sad to me.
Also I would be said if she is forgoing a good education and normal childhood/teenage activities in order to model.
But as to modeling bikinis at age 14, big deal? That is nothing new. With the sexy shit little girls wear nowadays? Been to the beach lately? Seen the pedophile-friendly show Toddlers & Tiara's on TV? And how old was Kate Moss when she posed topless in a world-wide ad campaign or walked down international runways with full-on nipples showing?
ReplyDeleteModels starting to be sexed-up very young is nothing new. Disgusting and pathetic, yes, but nothing new.
I'm with Enty, at least for now. She actually looks like a teen age girl.
ReplyDeleteKardashians usually present themselves butt-first (literally) with hooker-level makeup and hoochie mama clothes. This girl looks like a teen having fun on the beach.
Let's see how long this lasts before her jealous stepsisters try to take her down to their level.
I thought she was older. I don't see a problem with these pictures. At least she is decent and not like Hill Billy Cyrus lol.
ReplyDeleteI think people are savy enough to know that though the picture is innocent. It is going to lead another child to famewhoring and disregard any attempt of having a normal life, education and respectable career choices.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing good for the future of her and the other Jenner daughter thanks to Momager.
Totally Ali McGraw AND Angie Harmon!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Most 14 year olds are already wearing bikinis and unless there are some overtly sexual ones that we aren't seeing, no biggie.
That doesn't mean I don't think the Kardashian-Jenners don't whore out their family, though.
@selenakyle I agree I see Khloe's face in the first pic.
ReplyDeleteI don't think 14 is too young. All of what Enty said is true. Plus, her chest is covered in the pics and they don't seem like they are trying to be sexy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of you (and Enty) and I think she's fine.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, she seems to have less "curves" than her sisters, maybe that's because she's 14, maybe it's because she's a Jenner and not a Kardashian.
Whatevs - she looks like a pretty girl.
I dont have problem with these pictures; she looks classy, healthy and cute. At first glance, I thought these were posts of Ali McGraw's pictures.
ReplyDeletemy problem is that i think their mom is only marginally better than dina lohan.
ReplyDeletethis girl will go off the rails soon, i'm sure. this family nauseates me.
I think she's stunning. I hope that Bruce and the Jenner boys watch out for her so she doesn't go the way of her older sisters, but that would be a full time job.
ReplyDeleteGood grief -- how many Kardashians are there? Are they like Gremlins? Did someone spill water on one of their backs, and this kid popped out?
ReplyDeletei think these pics totally prove the rumor about kris having an affair w/bruce and khloe as a result...kendall looks JUST LIKE khloe, and khloe looks completely out of place with kim and kourtney and robert...ye olde bruce jenner super athlete genes
ReplyDeletemeh, i was a model at 14, i'd let my kid model at 14.
ReplyDeleteshe does look older than 14, and i bet these pictures are super retouched.
She looks like the Big One's twin!
ReplyDeleteI take more offense to the fact that there are yet more Kardashians about to be crammed down our throats. A talentless family living off of blood money, yet they are for some reason heralded and plastered on all forms of media.
ReplyDeletePeople like them are why the rest of the world hates America.
This is fine- she's wearing a bikini, but she's not posed in overly provocative positions so I don't see a problem here.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger issue is the Kardashian family's fame-whoring ways.
And yes, she looks EXACTLY like Khloe- my guess is that Khloe is the only Kardashian sister not to have plastic surgery and they all originally looked like this.
i ignore the whole family, except what i read here.
ReplyDeleteso i can honestly say, i think she looks adorable, healthy and decent. she does look older than 14, but one of my BFFs at 13 looked 21, and it actually helped her on the ice. she was younger than the rest of our group, but wasn't allowed to date until she was 16, lol!
anyway, i like the pics, age appropriate, etc. if she was 10, i might think differently.
I thought this was Angie Harmon before reading the headline and article!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I thought these were pics of Ali McGraw too! I was thinking from a movie and expected to see Steve McQueen in the next one. She is a beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteI think she looks lovely, and there's nothing sexy in them, more fun/sporty, if that makes sense.
Anyhow, perverts and bible bashers think the Sears catalogue is sexy, so you have to look at any pics as a sane person. Trying to think like a sane person, I like them!
kinda, sorta, reminds me of Ali McGraw.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that is was a super airbrushed Khloe. wow...
ReplyDelete@Revali I hadn't heard that. Now I must go research the affair rumor...
ReplyDeleteIt's wrong because she doesn't look 14. We (mostly) all looked at it and drooled, and it just isn't right to drool over a fourteen year old.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians where Brody's friend is videotaping and the two youngest girls start 'acting' like they're on girls gone wild and lift up their shirts?
ReplyDeleteyeah, this bikini model was one of them. She's gonna have some issues.
