I first saw [this](http://pics.livejournal.com/lamplamplamp/pic/00002f8f) picture while reading my LiveJournal friends page. I was scrolling down, and as the picture came up-I saw the head first and scrolled down for the rest-my thoughts went “Oh, someone posted a picture of their little girl, looks like she’s about 12ish…what the fuck!!!”

The juxtaposition is disturbing, as I said in my thread title. I saw no signs of shopping (although I am far from an expert), so what do we have here, a freakishly overdeveloped young girl, or an older woman with a very young face?

I vote the latter.

Despite what you said, I do think it’s altered.

Its a weird angle with weird lighting, she probably doesn’t look that young normally.

I do think shopped. Face and neck are just slightly different shades.

And I would bet (if the above is right) that the picture was created by someone with the wrong set of standards (to put it politely).

I vote this. I think if her face was lit up from the front instead of from the back, and maybe if she wasn’t smiling, she would look older.

Also, it’s possible she’s in her early teens and a (_really_ fortunate) early developer.

Strange. The bags under her eyes, make me think it is someone a lot older than they look.

What is disturbing to me is the top. Ick…why the cutout, no matter what her age.  
And if she is truly young and an early developer, that top is even more disturbing.

I think she’s in her late-teens, early-twenties and just looks very young. The strange angle of the picture doesn’t help.

Also, there is a bit of something resembling a bandage peeking out of her shirt on the right boob. My guess: she just got a huge boob job and she’s showing them off.

I think that’s a bra. You can see an outline of it on both sides.

My daughter looked like she was a young teenager till she was nearly 30. I vote for someone who just looks younger than their age. Either that or a waaay overdeveloped teenager, who I hope gets reduction surgery as soon as she can to avoid a lifetime of back pain!

What? I’d imagine she could choose to spend a fair amount of time resting on it.

One of my best friends friends in grade school was a full C-cup in 5th grade (that’s 10 years old) and DD by 7th grade or so, so I believe it. It was a curse. I saw our married with children state Teacher of the Year math teacher pat her on the ass with my own two eyes.

The boobs in this picture do look kinda fake to me, though. Not photoshopped; I mean implants. It’s possible if she’s around 16 - a lot of girls’ parents buy them for them when they’re still in high school now.

Look at someone in real life. Face and neck _are_ different shades. If not from lighting then from the facts that the neck is set back (shadowed by the face), and also gets less sunlight. Nothing in life is guaranteed but I can _almost_ guarantee you that this picture is not photoshopped.

Use the magnifier (bottom right says “100%”) at 400% in your browser to look at the pic. She’s got big bags under her eyes. She’s got a child like face which the photo angle accentuates but she’s no kid. Also look at the left ear she’s got multiple piercings.

I’m not going to say how to get to it, but playing with the URL a bit will get to the album from where that picture is stored.

There’s only one other picture in the album.

Draw your own conclusion about the theme that this guy is going for after you see the second picture.
