    Women who think they are hot are mostly just a "20er" or something to do.. for about 20 minutes. Women think they have some power cause they are wanted in such a shallow way. Men think differently

    Thank you for sharing the flip side of this issue from the side of the child, who clearly becomes a victim of this system. If only those proud, pushy mothers of model-wannabes would read your account and think of their child's best interest before going down this path, it would save so much pain.

    My college roommate had been one of the top child models in New York. She made huge money for the family, but was a has-been by the time she hit college. She has made a nice life for herself, but doing well is never enough for someone whose career peaked before she hit puberty.
