Extremely creepy photo set about which I have little to say that I didn’t say already about the Greenberg exhibition last year in Shock and Awww. Actually, rereading that post, I find that there is something else to be said: I would suggest that the rhetoric of outrage at the “abuse” of “innocent” little girls is equally problematic to the phenomenon of which the pictures ostensibly form a critique. The “innocence” of children is a cultural construct, just as much as the sexualisation for commercial purposes, and the objections to that. A very tangled web, that one.

Oh, and the questionable taste on display here extends beyond the pictures themselves: to see what I mean, go to the pictures and then hit the ‘info’ link, and watch the transition. You might be well advised to first equip yourself with something to bite on.
