![]() ![]() One of five top agencies in Novosibirsk, Elite Stars, recently was producing over 200 models every two to three months. There are over 10,000 Russian fashion agencies training girls from age four, and new ones pop up every month. Russian mothers of beautiful girls often treat the fashion business as a window of opportunity for their daughters to become famous, successful, and travel around the world. "When did she have time to grow up so fast?" one of her “friends” commented. The girl's blue, piercing eyes look very adult. More than 1,000 “likes” appeared instantly, as soon as the picture appeared. The little girl’s admirers ask her parents not to be in a hurry with the fashion business and let Kristina have a normal childhood.In the most recent image posted by her mother, Kristina is wearing a black vest over her skinny shoulders. ![]() Images of Kristina sitting on the edge of a bathtub or in bed in her pajamas have come in for particular criticism, including on Kristina’s own Facebook page. And her mother, Glikeriya Pimenova, is a model herself who acts as her daughter’s personal agent, posting new photographs on social networks every few days. Her father, Ruslan Pimenov, was a well known soccer player for Lokomotiv Moscow, among other teams. Kristina’s family has a certain star power. Three years ago, a program on Russian state television, “Vesti,” called Kristina "a million dollar baby." Kristina's long blonde hair, sometimes curled or fixed up in a bun like an adult, her puffy childish cheeks and lips often covered in make-up, have appeared on the cover of Vogue Bambini, and shined for Dolce & Gabbana, Benetton, and Armani. The Pimenova sensation has been growing for a while. (Ironically, perhaps, this video segment is posted on Kristina’s Facebook page.) “It just becomes dangerous,” said Shields. But Shields said she was concerned about the social media environment today, which spreads the images so far and fast, and often with disturbing anonymous comments. “I don’t think they’re that bad, these photos,” Shields told Meredith Viera. And while the “beautiful” is evident, especially those penetrating grey-blue eyes, there’s an uncomfortable edge to some of the photographs that blurs the difference between “girl” and “woman.”īrooke Shields, 49, who started modeling when she was less than a year old, posed nude when she was ten, and played a child prostitute in the Louis Malle film “Pretty Baby” when she was 12, recently said she didn’t think the pictures of Pimenova she’d seen were particularly suggestive. One fashion blog named her recently as “the most beautiful girl in the world,” full stop. She’s probably a very likeable kid, in fact, but the popularity is all about the pictures. In an apparent suicide, the photographer was found dead with a plastic bag over his head on Novemin Paris, France.MOSCOW - Do you know any children with 2,500,000 “likes” on their Facebook pages? A nine-year-old Russian girl living in Moscow, Kristina Pimenova, just topped that number. In 2016, the photographer was accused of rape by four separate women who had served as former models. Similar to the work of Jock Sturges and Sally Mann, Hamilton’s erotic subject matter caused complaints of indecency over the decades. He published numerous photobooks during his life, The Age of Innocence (1995) being one of his most popular. In 1979, his film Laura was released in France-the movie blends melodrama with soft-core pornography, as wells as Hamilton’s hallmark soft focus. Born on Apin London, United Kingdom, the artist initially found work as an art director, then a commercial photographer in the 1950s and 60s in France. Using a photographic technique akin to painting, he has acknowledged the influence of Lucas Cranach on his style. ![]() Often controversial, the images evoke an effect of dreaminess through soft focus and varied grain. David Hamilton was a British photographer and film director known for his nude photographs of adolescent girls.
