Why do people think dressing little girls in tutus and bead necklaces is a good idea? I think it's totally inappropriate and perverted! Hiding your nipples with a necklace is considered softcore porn as an adult, why not a child?

Just my two cents.. I just don't understand.

EDIT: The beads... Tutus can be cute with a top that actually covers her tutus

StrawberryBlondeMomma · May 2010

ITA, especially the bead necklaces. tutus i understand, but if they're wearing a top too.

krstokes · May 2010

Hmm

EDIT- Are you saying together or separate just for clarification???

lissah23 · May 2010

Uhm...they're considered softcore porn because they're taken for a sexual purpose.

You can't tell me you look at pictures of cute little girls dressed up in the same light, can you?

LongLiveTheQueen · May 2010

I love naked baby butts but, it scares me to see them on the internet..too many freaks out there.

I agree with you.

Ditto we sexualize Sh*t way too much in the US.

i get tutus. they're adorable. beads without a top, though nms, are not equal to porn, in my opinion.

some people would have a problem with your inference that other babies would be interested in dating your baby. i don't personally, but it's kind of along the lines of the "future hottie/heartbreaker" onesies.

mistresscox · May 2010

I think dinner's going to be late tonight! LOL!

Violet's Mommy · May 2010

I see nothing wrong with tutus, I make them for DD and love how cute she looks. I personally always have her in a shirt as well, but I don't guess I'd really see anything wrong without it, makes for a cute photo.

poopteen · May 2010

If we're basing perverted on what is used in porn, that rules out A LOT. I also think that if someone is thinking a naked (or mostly-naked) baby is perverted, they're sexualizing the child and there are some issues with that person.

LongLiveTheQueen · May 2010

Unfortunately, I think the issue is the fact that some crazy, sick monster is doing God knows what to the image of your child wearing a tutu and a necklace.

It's incredibly sad that we have to be worried about these things.

Agreed. I love naked babies (okthat sounds wrong lol) and there is nothing sexual about it at all. Granted, I'm not a fan of the tutus/big bows, necklaces as photo props in general, but I don't see anything sexual about it.

MrsBeckaT615 · May 2010

Sorry, when I see a LO with her top off being covered by beads ON THE INTERNET, I do feel concern for that child being sexualized. If you think it's so cute, fine. There's a difference between having a "cute" picture and PLASTERING it all over the internet for freaks to see.

Did you ever stop to think maybe it's a necklace to look cute and not for the LO to "be covered by beads"?

ETA: I wouldn't post them on the internet, but I don't really have a problem with it either.

Agreed. I can't help but wonder if this post is directed at me, since my post was the one before it, and I have an adorable pic of my DD in her tutu in my siggy (which everyone who has seen it loves). I actually got the idea from the bump, so I know tons of people on here do it. I see it as no different than the naked newborn pics, which are equally adorable.

And, I hate to tell you, but if someone is going to do something perverted with your kid's pic on the internet, it doesn't matter what they're wearing.

MrsBeckaT615 · May 2010

Every picture I've seen with them covers their nipples. The real question is: How can you not think that?

EDIT: I mean, the picture above this post proves my point.

MrsBatty · May 2010

Is this post a direct stab at meg1974 ?

Because I think that photo in her siggy is adorable.

This..I dont think its preverted at all. I think people make big deals out of nothing. I also posted my DS in the bathtub relaxing but didnt show anything below the belt. I am pretty sure all babies look the same from waist up when they are little. By no means do parents mean to "sexualize" their children! Good Lord!

I can not think that very easily. It's just where any long necklace would fall on a baby.

Also if you look at Meg's picture (Cause we all know that's who you're talking about) it doesn't cover her baby. Surprise

And FWIW, I have never seen a photo of a baby and thought it compared to soft core porn. That is bothersome to me.

megs, i think your siggy is adorable. A topless baby is not sexy...

Pretty much.

Plus, there is absolutely nothing sexual about the tutu and bead pictures.

franciscaz · May 2010

I could never think of a baby w/o a top and equate it with porn... that just is wrong on so many levels.

PS: Rachel has no tutus or bead... it just is NMS.

And, by the way, I would be there all day if I actually tried to make the necklace cover her nipples! People who can actually control things like that in pictures must have a different baby than me LOL!

Ditto. This is kind of ridiculous. Duh, that's where a long, layered necklace is going to fall inevitably and who thinks about babies even having nipples to cover!?! Tongue Tied

Aww, I don't think that's perverted at all. It looks cute.

This actually reminds me of some photos my parents have of me as a 3 year old. We would swim at my grandpa's cabin and I would run around just wearing shorts, no top. Granted, this was at his residence and the photos weren't on the internet. But I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like I had boobs then.

Totally. If that were the case, we'd also need to eliminate any pictures with lollipops, pizza boxes, grandmothers...

Honestly, I don't think I've EVER really "noticed" a baby's nipples in any pictures. Or any particular body part for that matter. You bringing it up does make me kind of want to look though-do the necklaces really always cover the nips? That's sort of a weird coincidence.

I don't think this picture is sexual AT ALL. She's adorable!

Mrs.Carlybella · May 2010

if I had a little girl I would be a tutu obsessed mama... i LOVE them- and how you can think meg's picture is at all obscene, sexual, resembling porn, etc makes me think you are the one with an issue- not the picture. Covered nipples or no (which I don't think they are)- there is nothing sexual about that picture. And if there are perverts out here- that pic isn't going to be a turn on any more than any other kid - the perverts like kids, they aren't scrolling for poses

MrsErinnElizabeth · May 2010

Ew. You are kind of a perv. None of your thoughts even enter my mind whatsoever when I see a cute pic like that.

Do you look at naked newborn pics as sexualized too? Because I'm a photographer and every newborn session I've ever had has been completely naked. Nipples and ALL. ::shudders::
