Angelina Jolie's young pics found

**Aella** · April 4th, 2008, 07:07 AM

These are really tame, I don't get the fuss. Consider the fact that most models start their career at 14 or younger, and participate in a lot racier photoshoots than this.

The styling and wardrobe is tacky though.

Very tame, I agree. And it's not like she took them herself. So obviously at least one other person found her as "hot" as she did herself. Even though it is weird to think of how young she was there when people were finding her hot.

But I guess what she needed, at the right age, was a crap-ass kid's show on a cable network. It's amazing what a retinue of kiddie fans with parents willing to spend obscene amounts of dollars on merchandise and concerts can do for one's marketability.

Then everything about her upbringing and teen antics would have been precious and quirky instead of bizarre and pervy. Hooking up with Bradski would have been extra adorable then. Hell, she might have ended up "America's Sweetheart" (and the one getting dumped). Or married to a member of Coldplay.

I just think they're tacky.

Actually, although the age of consent is 16 in England & Wales (Scotland is 16 w/o parental consent), you still have to have your parents consent to get married at that age, and the age of majority is still 18, therefore one is not an adult (or have the legal responsibilities) until 18, no matter how "mature" the person is (or thinks they are)

AGE 16
You can leave school
You can choose your own doctor
You can claim social security benefit
You can work full time
You can leave home with your parents’ consent
You can get married with one parent’s consent
You can drink wine or beer with a meal in a restaurant
You can hold a licence to drive a moped
You can buy a ticket in the National Lottery

AGE 18
You can buy cigarettes or tobacco
You can appear before adult courts
You can get married without your parents’ consent Young People - Legal Age

Would you really let your young daughter pose like that, in those clothes? And just because Brooke Shields had a drunken mother who let her make quasi pedophilic films doesn't make it right.

And I am fully aware that Angie is not the only, or even the worst, offender in this area. Publications and the airwaves are full of young girls behaving badly. Still doesn't make it right.

On the other hand, I see 12 year olds with thongs showing over their midriff riding jeans and I want to throw up, so yeah...I'm divided.

I think that this is a normal reaction Lola, what we knew of ourselves at this age and then trying to look at modern kids, they seem both so much more naive and yet more worldly (and not nec in a good way) than we did....

I agree, and the blurb said "sensual", there is nothing sensual in these photos imo....

Me, that'll be me then! My parents took me to nudist beaches where I sat fully clothed, and remained fully clothed on the beach for any number of years. And yet at 15 my bf was 21....

And not anywhere in that list do I see "You can look like a teenage slut and it's totally acceptable".

So many puritanical rants!

**CherryDarling** · April 5th, 2008, 12:39 AM

I don't really see the big deal, IMO.

**lonestar** · April 5th, 2008, 12:44 AM

i knew someone who was 16 when she posed for her first maxim cover shoot. and there was less material than here. she's covered so i guess no laws were broken. meh.
