Re: Beckii: Schoolgirl Superstar at 14

I feel like it would be unpopular (if not here, then out there) for me to say that she should just embrace her sex appeal and use it to her advantage - because doing so would be like a distant cousin to "prostitution" or something, but if people like her because she's attractive, why not take advantage of that? I thought it was kind of shallow that they thought this girl would become a hit singer overnight. That takes lots and lots of effort. I'm not saying she shouldn't pursue it if it's something she's interested in (along with the dancing), but what she has now is physical attraction. Instead of playing that down, she should milk it for all its worth.

Of course, the prudish mindset prevents most people from accepting that as a valid and virtuous path to take (especially for a minor). I would love to see, for once, a girl this age who is proud of her sexiness, and not afraid to flaunt it, without assuming that doing so makes her a slut, and that she has to follow a lifestyle of vice. Because it's just this attitude - "you're attracted to me? ew, that's creepy" - that makes me feel guilty about admiring girls.
