We live in a very superficial world. Or that's at least how they want us to see and be. So superficial that people are valued more for what they teach or appear than for who they really are, and so superficial that it can cause a girl to be exposed to the whole world, from a very young age, by the mere fact of being considered a model.
I speak of Kristina Pimenova, a 9 year old girl who has been in the fashion world since she was 3 years old. At his young age he has already been the cover of Vogue and has lent his face to Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana. That curriculum can be considered successful, and more if at this age they already call it "the most beautiful girl in the world". But nevertheless, critics rain (well, more to her parents than to her) and opens the eternal debate about the ethical thing that is to turn children into objects to admire, in an adult in small or in the hen of golden eggs.
What is your achievement?
The girl is beautiful. She is very pretty. But I just don't understand what the achievement is. In one of those cases in which I think "get down, ship, and take me to my planet", where I observe how a girl becomes famous and has millions of followers simply because she is beautiful. One of those cases where I speak of Armani, Cavalli and D&G, rich and successful stylists that the only thing they have done for the planet is beautiful clothes, and sometimes not even that. But hey, going back to the girl, she's pretty because she was born that way. That has no merit, or does it have it? Because of course, I open your Instagram account and see that it has 621,000 followers, and in Facebook are counted in millions.
What are the criticisms?
Leaving aside my opinion about who we should value and who not in this life, we talk about the criticisms, which I guess you can imagine what they are. His parents are hanging photos almost daily and that obviously generates controversy. His life is exposed to the sight of others since he was 3 years old. Where is your privacy? What has happened to your childhood? I don't know, maybe it's just a few moments a day and the girl has been able to be a girl like everyone else, but I don't know to what extent it is right to offer her image with such constancy.
There are those who not only criticize this level of exposure, but add that there are photographs that are left over. I have made a compilation of those that have seemed to me that generate more controversy, so all that you see in this post are the ones that I see that are relatively reprehensible. Let's not forget that she is a 9 year old girl and not a teenager, much less an adult. There are looks, poses and "stolen" that can be misunderstood.
Isn't it that there are people with a very sick mind?
Surely you will be looking at the photos and say "well they do not seem so much to me. Isn't it that there are people with a very sick mind?" and they are not really so much, but yes, there are people with a very sick mind and that is why, when you publish photos of your daughter, who is very beautiful, and is a model, you have to take exquisite care.
The parents say that the photos are not uploaded by the girl, that she is people from her environment that values and filters them, precisely to avoid the controversy, but if your daughter is a girl and is a model of girl's clothes, what the others have what to see in the photos it's a girl doing what girls do. Not a girl being able to do something older girls do. What is not so much? What are not provocative? Of course, it's just missing. But precisely because the only thing that Kristina values is her image, any photo that can lead to minimal confusion should be removed.
They are curious, beautiful photos that can be taken and taken at home, but that they should not be public. Come on, that in your case, the bar should be, I think, much higher when deciding what to share and what not to share, precisely because the world is full of crazy people who could do anything.
The parents are not very worried
The parents, in spite of everything, are very calm. Glikeriya, his mother, explains this on Facebook:
Kristie began her career at age three. Wherever we went, people told me that she was adorable and suggested that I make her a model. I decided to give it a try and at that moment she realized that it was fun, especially the catwalks and the fashion shows. Since then it is fun for her and she loves every minute of what she does.
What do you think?
What do you think of all this? Are the photos I have posted criticizable? Do you think it is good to have been a model all your life? Will this affect your childhood?
I don't know very well what to think, because sometimes the balloon is pricked. If one day the clothing brands end up forgetting her failure can be very painful. But knowing that this world is totally superficial, that brands don't forget about it can also be something very painful, right?
