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
Re: Out of curiosity...
EDIT- Are you saying together or separate just for clarification???
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?
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.
I think dinner's going to be late tonight! LOL!
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.
This! (says the mom with pro photos of her DD in a tutu and nothing else)

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.
true, true.
it's so sad that we have to worry about it, no?
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.
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.
Is this post a direct stab at meg1974 ?
Because I think that photo in her siggy is adorable.
Get a life.
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!
my answer is: it never crossed my mind that the beads were covering nipples. never.
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.
Ditto. Meg, love the photo.
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.
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.
I have never thought that.
Thank you!
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!?!
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...
This.
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.
Is your point that you're trying to make something out of nothing?
I don't think this picture is sexual AT ALL. She's adorable!

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::
