Mummy make me a Porn Star!!!

More insanity from the Land Downunder.

A mother took photographs of her child posing provocatively and it was published in a magazine funded by taxpayers.

The father, Robert Nelson, who is an art critic for The FAG, see the guy wearing the vomit color shirt and bow tie, said it was in defense of another artist who took photos of naked children and exhibited using yes, you guessed it - your tax dollars too.

"There were actually her instigation, her initiative, and her mother saw nothing wrong with making them. It's not provocative - if anything, it's about a girl who is contemplating her grandmother's jewellery." The FAG critic said.

"She just enjoys it. It's acting. She just loves it," said the 11-year-old girl's father. "Poli [Polixeni Papapetrou, the girl's mother] wrote a doctoral thesis on this. It's a highly researched body of work."

Of course it is.

"The cover image shows the girl, who was then six, in front of a painted backdrop that refers to the work of Lewis Carroll, yes same one who liked to go on dates with 11 year old girls and take photos of them nude.

Two more, which were removed from a photographic show in Gosford last year after complaints, show her at the age of four and wearing nothing but her grandmother's jewellery. In one, perhaps the most provocative, she lies back with her arms behind her head and her legs folded. "She said 'Photo me. Photo me like this'," Mr Nelson said.

Opps, typo error- its not The FAG - its The AGE newspaper. Sorry, its hard to see the difference.

hmm... this is something highly controversial. One might comment that it's just art, but I personally think it's exploitation of the innocent. How would a girl at such a young age have such "artistic" ideas, I wonder?

I think you only need to look at the parents who are into this sort of thing. Sad really, its almost like incest.
