Title: Mallick: Image of girl, 10, on Vogue cover is retching

I don’t know which is worse, French Vogue for painting and contorting a 10-year-old girl to model on the pages of its Enfants magazine, or the Washington State strawberry farms just fined by the U.S. State Department for hiring six-year-olds as pickers.

And who’s most responsible, the parents who allowed their children to work the fields and the studios or we who buy the berries and the magazine?

Either way, the way we regard children and use them is changing, and infinitely for the worse. It’s wrong to single out the French. Little-girl beauty pageants in the American South are positively gut-churning but no one has thought to ban them. In Canada, the sexualizing of tweens with padded bras and a purchased pre-sassiness is a modern phenomenon, here to stay.

Fresh tiny Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau is working for living in a way she doesn’t understand. At least I hope she doesn’t. Ten-year-olds are pretty smart though.

Her mother (allegedly) wrote on Facebook, “Thylanne doesn’t know about the buzz and I want to protect her from the deepest of my heart . . . she’s so young.”

So why is she arched on a rumpled leopardskin-sheeted bed in a gold lamé cocktail dress slashed to the waist, in gold stilettos with heavy chains wrapped around her birdlike ankles, around her neck the kind of gold medallion you usually see nestled in a pornographer’s chest hair. She’s petting two rabbits. They are of course young bunnies. Older rabbits are so unattractive.

Thylane is the daughter of French international soccer player Patrick Blondeau and actress/TV host Véronika Loubry, people who make a living from the beauty and grace of their bodies. On them it’s fetching, on Thylane retching. The French fashion world has warped her mother. And whom would it not?

French women spend time and money wearing makeup that makes them look as though they’re not wearing makeup. A chic Frenchwoman — study Loubry’s look carefully online — keeps her hair simple and flat, which is hard work every morning. Her skin takes hours to keep clean and clear, her makeup is understated T. LeClerc, her “product” cabinet is wardrobe-size. Her clothes are simply cut in block colours, not patterns.

Her aim is to look like an artless child, because men like that.

So how does Thylane look? Like a woman in her 30s, maybe 40s. Explain that. I mean it. Explain that because I cannot.

Loubry erupted to a sympathetic blogger: “My daughter isn’t even naked, no need to blow this out of proportion.” But sex isn’t about nudity necessarily. It’s all about signals, the kind that a little girl doesn’t know she’s sending out to freaks for judgment.

Women are judged, and judged hard, on appearance. This isn’t fair, and I’m hoping it will change for the next generation. Film theorist Laura Mulvey famously came up with the notion of the “male gaze,” in which women are rated by their passivity, their “to-be-looked-at-ness.” The gaze was “voyeuristic,” seeing women as whores, and “fetishistic,” as madonnas.

Photo shoots of little girls dressed up as blastingly sexual women are the ultimate whore-madonna displays. They make it socially acceptable for the gaze to take in girls too, to assess them for the sexuality slapped on them by grown-ups.

To be fair, I have bought French children’s fashion magazines, Milk, for instance, looked in horror at the images and bought the clothes for my kids. Years ago, I showed these magazines to a fashion editor and asked if there was a piece to be written about toddler porn. She thought it absurd. She didn’t have young children, though. The female gaze can be equally unkind.

I sometimes sense that this society doesn’t like children at all. We worry about Canada’s low birth rate and then demonize single mothers. Parents have to fight like holy hell for daycare. We stunt women’s careers when they have children. And now we see children as an income source? A starter kit for our own sexuality that was stunted by a million acres of online porn?

Poor Thylane. She is not going to have a happy life. She will look at these pictures as the harbinger of bad things.

Strange adults will always be testing the laws against kiddie porn, just as berry farms chose to see fieldwork for toddlers as a form of babysitting. It’s up to us to put a stop to it. (1 image)

I see they put the caption "cadeaux" in the plural, "gifts." The singular might have been a bit too much.

The Anglo-Saxon likes to hide his kinks in the closet. The Gaul likes to put his on public display.

It is a violation of Natural Law to use this document in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

"The Anglo-Saxon likes to hide his kinks in the closet. The Gaul likes to put his on public display."

Which is why the first reaction from the French to the Dominique Strauss-Khan, the head of the International Monetary Fund scandal was that the Anglo-Saxons were running amok about a great man they know as "the great suducer" and were very annoyed.

I know that as someone who speaks French, it was very very interesting to read their commentary on that incident. This incident would have utterly destroyed an English or American politician whether he was guilty or not, but not in France.

Some law enforcement in this country no doubt would look at a product like that picture of a suductive ten year old with the label of "Gift" as illegally manufactured kiddie porn and would have put a bulls eye on the person making it.

One example of a manufestation of this cultural divide I experiances in a trip to Europe was how people out in the country on bicycles who have to urinate just stop and urinate in a way you would spark a charge of public indecency here in the States.

My cultural filter makes me feel very disgusted when I see a photo like this one. And if I saw a man who was obviously very aroused by it would nake him the target if some very extreme anger from me.

Were this my daughter in fact, I would be fighting a strong desire to take a baseball bat to the person who photographed her this way.

I guess this cultural contrast is what fasinates me so much about this commentary.

"The United States today is like a cruise ship on the Niagara River upstream of the most spectacular falls in North America. A few people on board have begun to pick up a slight hiss in the background, to observe a faint haze of mist in the air or on their glasses, to note that the river current seems to be running slightly faster. But no one yet seems to have realized that it is almost too late to head for shore." -- Historian and author Chalmers Johnson"

The puritan is not often outdone by the marxist when either of them manages a serious grab for power, and both have a lot in common. Both of them have a compulsive desire to "fix" things and in the process put their fellow man in a sort of fix that often takes generations to repair.

I agree about your desire to take a baseball bat to the person who'd photograph your daughter in this way though. What you see here is simply another symptom of the degeneracy of Western society. There's not a lot you can do about that. The cure is as bad as the disease.

Cheers.

I agree, which is why this would only be my initial reaction.

Here in Eugene, Oregon in the 1970s there was a picture of a Mexican man turned over to the police of a man holding a baby boy kissing the child's bare groin.

He was arrested and it turned out to be a documentable cultural custom at a party celebrating the baptism of a child for a father to bless the hope for much *fruit from his off spring's loins.

Sometime our cultural trappings make us our own worst enemy.

All charges were dismissed.

*From the Bible, Genesis 35:11 (King James Version):

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

Well put. Although I think the cure easier and not so bad. It is simply a reawakening of the basic decency most of us carry within. Not an easy job, but one that will have to be done to revitalize this decaying society.

I do have to wonder though if this was not an intentional act to further the increasing acceptance of degradation and degeneracy. Our semi-hidden would-be masters seem to wallow in and enjoy this kind of degenerate filth. In recent years there has become evident within the plutocratic/illuminist circles a strong thread of degenerate pedophilia.

Remember The White Rose
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha
