Quote From: themiddlebroThey blurred out something that was not at all nudity, but only slightly provocative, to make the audience think that it was worse than it appears.
Of course, I believe that the pictures were fine, because I've seen theatres in NYC where the pictures of actors are just as or more provocative, with the same age girls. In fact, sometimes a provocative picture can book you the role, because it can show grace, beauty, and personality. In this way I completely believe those pictures to be perfectly adequate for auditions. If you still don't agree, of course, she can always take less provocative pictures for different occasions, but otherwise,
the pictures are fine. The girl is 13 years old, are we forgetting this? The pictures are not fine. The mother is telling her to use her body!! The mother was probably a "tease"as a teenager. Why wouldn't she want better for her daughter? Children today have far greater problems, sex is very close to 13 year olds, especially when a parent is saying "use your body". Sex will be a natural extension of using her body. The mother was confrontational refusing to take ownership and be ashamed of her ugliness with her daughter. Phil was right to tell her this isn't about YOU!! This is about your daughter and the impression your behavior is going to embed into your daughter. I saw a lot of disgusting behavior on the mother's parts. I think they are all desperately trying to survive off of their children or re live through them. I wondered if that was the reason Gracie cried and said she didn't want to go home and say she was a failure, she's not the failure!
Do any of these mother's have a job ? Do any of them contribute to the income of their family? I think some of these children are so desperate because possibly their families support may be depending on their success!!!
Nasty, disgusting..........."you mother's were the only failure's I saw today"..
We don't get a handbook on raising our children, but we have to have an open mind and listen when someone we respect, tells us we're doing something very wrong to our children.
