Her animal rights beliefs may be wrong, or she may have been wrong to bring the kid to the fashion show thingy, but the two things aren’t incompatible, she’s not being a hypocrite (unless she made a cheeseburger out of the kid afterwords). Baseless charges of hypocrisy seem to be some sort of default attack for the lazy. It’s annoying.

Well, it’s potentially exploitation of someone who perhaps didn’t really consent to give their labor, which is one part of PETA’s platform. It’s not just “don’t butcher animals for food and skins.”

I hope that you at least got to be near your parents at those events, and had a place of your own to sit instead of sitting on the floor at the feet of some weird lady, who was claiming you were her kid, while people nearly stepped on you while trying to get on the stage. 😉

No cite, but I though I read she had her silicone funbags removed.

Yeah, making the kid hold her train and having her sit on the floor seems the epitome of tacky. It’s a fucked up thing to do to an adult whom you’re paying, let alone a kid who presumably isn’t on Ms. Anderson’s payroll.

Is it potentially perhaps not really that? 🙂

It is, in fact, nothing like that.

Nine year olds always get stuck sitting on the floor. And it sounds like her mom was there. And “nearly getting stepped on” is, interestingly, a synonym for “not getting stepped on”.

Pamela Anderson is about as sexually appealing as a rubber life raft. Which is to say slightly, and only If I were extremely drunk and horny.

Child labor issues absolutely aren’t applicable? The Child Labor Coalition seems to question that, which is why I phrased my opinion in non-definite terms.

PETA does have issues with animals being made to work, even when they seem to enjoy or accept it. They often draw parallels with children in their statements, in terms of consent. I don’t see how a potential accusation of hypocrisy is entirely out of the question here.

Not that I care one way or the other, but it isn’t the last questionable choice Anderson will make, I’m sure.

(And just because a kid doesn’t get stepped on doesn’t mean it wasn’t stressful to the kid or close to happening at any given point.)

Is it just me, or does that dress look like it’s made of blankets tied together end-to-end prison break style?

I think she had them replaced with smaller ones rather than removed.

Hey, Jaid Barrymore was taking Drew to STUDIO 54 when she was 9 years old and she turned out just fine (after a few years of drug abuse and career tanking and agressive therapy).

Heh, that’s the life of a model, being objectified and treated like a slave. Maybe they were conspiring to get the girl into the industry. Prime age is 12-15 you know?

“Robert Bork’s soiled underpants”??? Huh? You must mean “Rush Limbaugh’s soiled underpants”.

Samantha Gailey’s mom let her “work” with Roman Polanski at 13 and we all know how that turned out…
