Kristina Vaiciunaite

[youarearockstar]

To me, the age debate is sometimes so useless reguarding what is appropriate. Generally speaking, the normative standards of acceptability in working age stem heavily from what each country sets as a minimum age of employment. Is 14 too young to model? It all subjectively depends on who you ask.

Being a model, is quite similar to being a product for consumption by the fashion elite, and eventually the population. Her image is purchased and marketed and crafted in away that captivates what she is ultimately selling for the company. So if the industry is accepting and energetic about her at this very moment in time (as in, her image is compatable with current aesthetics in the modeling industry), then by all means, let her work. Let her model her little heart out if it makes her happy. After all, if she waits three or four years, there's no certainty that she'll be accepted then or still signed.

I for one have always loved the way Kristina looks, and I would hate to have her wait three years and find that there is no longer a place for her. That's all. Wow. Far too serious of a post for my liking.

Let's please try to keep this thread focused on Kristina instead of an appropriate age debate. There is an existing thread for that discussion in the Et Ceteras forum. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I really did not mean to lead the thread astray, the response was provoked far more out of a desire to support Kristina, rather than to rant or rave.

Thanks manette fo the pics!
I like the 1st, but the others are rather scary there's far too much make-up on her.

 

[manette]

You're very welcome youarearockstar and Salacya The pics aren't great but at least it's a sign that Kristina is doing some work and hasn't completely disappeared.

kristina suffers a bit of "management options" fight between her agencies. IMG Paris would have liked to keep her as underexposed as possible untill she could really work in paris at full speed, as they are afraid that in exposing her too much now, she wont be that special anymore when finnaly she will be able to make Paris for real, but her mother agency has choosen pushed her at maximum in Milano, asap, is this the right choice...only time will tell.

 

[julesrules815]

But couldn't her Milan showcard mean she might be in Prada? Or do you thing that if she was in Prada, they would have tried to keep that underwraps?

She arrived in Milano yesterday, which means that she probably does not have exclusiv deal, but still she might for sure make "interesting" shows there.
But if she really makes a serious splash in shows next week, the point is still not obvious to do that now if after she can not accept more big jobs that a good show week could provide her.
Milano is the only big place in Europe where they can +/- easily deal with the underage rule, but in other places she is anyway +/- stuck, so from quality level*point of view, it will anyway hard to progress in the coming months whatever she does in Milano.
