“Because innocence is sexier than you think.” – Love Cosmetics

Source: https://cloudfront.net

This ad is all sorts of wrong. The sexualization of a child and her innocence is horrifying and unacceptable. Love Cosmetics’ slogan, “Because innocence is sexier than you think,” combined with a picture of a very young girl, who appears to be no older than ten and has been dolled up with big curls and heavy makeup, is just wrong. It seems to be encouraging all the creepy pedophiles to come out of the woodwork and buy the product.

Evidently set up to combine purity and sensuality, with a cuddly white teddy bear, a white dress, a child with piercing blue eyes and slightly open lips, the people behind the ad that was supposedly aimed at young women failed to see the big difference between young WOMEN and young CHILDREN.

Even more bizarre, the hand hugging the bear in the picture does not look like it belongs to the child but to a grown woman.
