    I don't read the crappy newspaper that this story has come from

    yes I was guessing as to wether she eats properly or wether she is to Told stuff by other people but she just doesn't look healthy at all & it's scary to think people in a few years will probably tell her she needs to lose weight or possibly have surgery to get far in the industry

    Well I'd say you are their demographic then.

    Any word and what drug she will overdose on?

    She didn't label herself as "flaunting her womanly curves" though did she? The Daily Mail did.

    Which leads me back to earlier point - no piccies, no story!

    She just looks a little too skinny for me but it might be also because she is very pale - a little colour to her & she will probably look a lot healthier

    Hmm, well having pale skin does not mean she is unhealthy either :p

    Anyone get the feeling the media are just playing with us with stories like this, almost like they realise the irony, but print it anyway to stir up discussion or to taunt people? Just seems like the Mail are trolling us to be quite honest :D

    It could have been a totally different story with the same pictures and different words.

    I've seen more womanly curves on a twiglet!:eek:

    You want to see womanly curves on a fourteen year-old?

    It does feel like that doesn't it? One minute the DM journalists are frothing at the mouth to tell us all about Savile etc allegedly abusing underage girls and the next they're printing photos of a 14 year old girl and going on about her flaunting her 'curves'.
    Bizarre.

    And you also managed not to notice that her age was the first three words of the thread title?

    Yeah, right.

    Exactly - it could have said 'Elle at a Hallowe'en Party' and we'd probably have thought nothing of it. But the journalist used provocative words - ' flaunted' 'seems demure', the slit in the dress. Talk about sexualising her!

    I didn't scour, I saw it on Twitter and thought I'd bring it to people's attention but if you don't like it, then don't click on it, the subject matter was pretty obvious from the title.

    The only print stories of that type is because people buy the paper and read them.

    Following that, one has to ask who exactly buys the DM to read these stories, there must be someone out there and also many thousands of you, come on own up.and the reasons why you but and read the DM as opposed to another tabloid.

    Fact — Official ABC figures show that apart from The Sun, the DM out performs every other national newspaper. This also applies to The Sun on Sunday and the Sunday Mail

    Source — http://www.brandrepublic.com/wide/1131457/National-newspaper-ABC-figures-April-2012/

    The DM is ridiculed on about everything they print on DS but looking at those figures compared to other papers the DM and SM are doing very well so while the public as a whole appear happy and they maintain their percentage of readers compared to other papers they will print these stories. They are in the business to make money.

    Note: — I am not a DM or SM reader.

    It's the language the DM uses, they must have read the 'tittilation dictionary quite thoroughly.

    I didn't say I didn't like it. I love it! The idea of people who hate the Daily Mail starting a thread about one of their stories, and therefore ensuring more people are directed to their website, is most amusing to me! :D

    They tend not to print these stories, they are Mail Online fodder. Also a very popular website.

    I guess quite a lot of people like reading about sexualised under age girls, but I just think they should stop the Savile/BBC hate stories as the two don't sit well together.

    Not the best thing to admit to loving these days. Admiring a 14 year old's womanly curves is a 1970s thing.

    I wasn't talking about the 14 year old's curves, as you well know.

    I thought they were having a go at her.:confused:

    Didn't pick up much approval for her posing, the dress, curves or anything. Just having a go at a fourteen year old for dressing inappropriately.

    Yeah, people shouldn't read anything other than stuff they agree with. Laugh at those who get the contentious stories out into the wider public domain I say.

    I'm glad, actually that the OP's put this out there, because otherwise I might think that that excuse for a newspaper is worth a shit.
