Too Young

Let me introduce you to BY2 , a pair of twin sisters from Singapore that is the current top group in Taiwan. Their image is , as you can see , is cute, after all they're only sweet 16. They sound a little more mature in their albums- very nice songs too.
But, if this is consider young, then what would you have say about these other three young new models. Let me start with Auguste. She's just 14 and came from Lithuania. What made her famous is that she cried (tears flowing down) on the runway at Jil Sander.
Then, there's Monika Jagaciak that started modeling when she's 12 or 13. Jac, as she is known was made famous when she was banned from the Australian Fashion Week. She was 14. One year later, she walks the runway of New York and Milan and is now fronting the Calvin Klein collection for the Fall Winter collection. The next time you flipped through a magazine and see this shot, remember she's only 15.Last, there's Frida, who at 16 is as the same age as BY2. Now, compare her look to those of the twins- do they even look as the same age? Frida's biggest job to date is opening the Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2009 runway. I know that Asians are fairly younger looking than their Western counterparts but by exploiting these girls at such a young age, I do not how young is considered acceptable to start working. Sadly,we will be seeing more and more younger teenagers in this entertainment industry as the demand get bigger.
