We get that Jac Jagaciak broke onto the scene at 13 (though she didn't get really, really famous until three years later), but don't you think ten is a little too young to start a modeling career? Well, Thylane Blondeau set out to prove us wrong. If you've been on Tumblr recently, you'll notice that a certain precocious pre-preteen has been making the rounds of reblogging. There's even a few sites named after her, although one eponymous fanpage inexplicably featured thousands of Leighton Meester gifs.
We do have to admit she possesses a peculiar charm, and while fashion values youth, has it pushed the limits too far? While she is the very definition of Nabokov's nymphet, we can't forget that Lolita centers around the yearnings of a 30-something pedophile. And though we don't object to child modeling, Blondeau isn't being marketed according to those standards.
Remember that huge fuss when 14-year-old Jac revealed her (underage) underboob in Jalouse? Well, Blondeau posed completely topless four years before the Polish supermodel did. And while we understand that the whole wild-island-child look has its own charm, ten is simultaneously too old and too young to go sans-shirt.

Now this is really pushing it too far, to the point that it screams vulgar. Hello, third-world child prostitute?
What's going on here? This is weirdly sexual, especially considering that both subjects couldn't be more than 12 years of age.
