Exactly.

It looks like a 5 year old with a boob job. A surreal, creepy child.

Regardless of her actual age, they are heavily laying on the little girl styling, with stuffed animals, powder pink, and pigtails.

I know some see it as a style mag. I don't see it is porn automatically. If this shoot were in Vogue, it would still be creepy. Just like some Depeche Mode songs are creepy (re: A Question of Time), despite the fact I am a big DM fan. I accept it, but don't know if it is kosher.

*(I am not implying that her chest is fake, I think it is real.)

Thanks for the scans RobbyR.

I think she looks good and it's very true to the theme but I get really uncomfortable looking at the pictures. It's like the lack some sort of edge that would make her look.. like a sexy adult. To me she looks like an adult trying to look 12 which really is far from sexy to me

As a fellow Depeche Mode fan i do not think their songs are creepy and Question of Time is my favourite song EVER.

I think this shoot is interesting I love the colors, it's very Melody Nelson and we are all adults here to handle it, she's not a child and she does not look like one, she's an adult playing the Lolita like it has been done millions of times. I would worry about kids being sexualized not the other way around.

Well I know you're only fifteen
And you look good...

I know my kind
What goes on in our minds...


I love Martin Gore, he is an amazing lyricist. But I read he wrote that about a 15 year old girl he was obsessed with. Definately in the over the top sexual way.

I still see it as eh. My Secret Garden? Amazing!

I don't think all of their songs are creepy, I think the very opposite, I love their lyrics, and I love the way they match it up to music.

But the song , in my view is actually about how he wants to protect her from all the other guys that want to sleep with her regardless of her age because she's so beautiful,he knows what "goes in in your minds" and that time is ticking for her. He wants to put her under "his wing", well to do what we will never know and he never told us, he may want to sleep with her himself or just let her be innocent for a while longer . And that's the beauty of Depeche Mode so many interpretations...

Does anyone knows where to get this mag in London?

^haha, my friend and I have constant (lighthearted) arguments about A Question of Time. She holds the same view as you. But she says it is his friends' daughter that he is trying to protect.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Completely horrid. Controversial for the sake controversy it seems.

I like it, i can't really explain why though because I do find it kind of creepy. But i love French Playboy, they never fail to please with their covers and editorials.

Playmate of the Month: Natasha Gilbert by Marcus Mâm.
I only picked the cooler pictures, not the ones that scream Playboy
She has her own thread in Supporting Cast so I hope it's ok to post her.
