Jezebel
We were pleasantly surprised to find a moderate and comprehensive take on the Thylane’s scandal on Jez. Actually, former model-turned-reporter Jenna Sauers went as far as saying she liked the shoot: “I personally found the Vogue Paris editorial refreshing. Sure, it was disturbing, but it seemed purposefully, knowingly disturbing.” Unlike so many other media outlets, Sauers didn’t get caught oversimplifying the controversary. She goes on to say, “I don’t want to condemn another child, and another family, for making the decision to pursue modeling. But something about some of these pictures, on a level almost deeper than language, creeps me out.” Probably the best way to sum up her response is “it’s complicated”–a fact that many news outlets seem to ignore.
