Not knowing where the picture came from I assumed it was a published photo, and in that regard I think it's inappropriate. If it's just a fun photo for their own family album that was never intended to go public for monetary gain or publicity then that's a different story.

Maybe the decision to use them on the website was made after seeing what great shots they were. I remember that pic of Brooke Shields and it was a publicity shot. If that had been done today, can you imagine the backlash? ETA: That pic of Brooke is not the one I was thinking about. It's a beautiful shot but I probably think that because she looks exactly like my 3-yr-old great-niece.

Cindy said it was a photo shoot to promote the swimwear designed by her best friend, to promote the best friend's business, and was published on the business website. I would think that fits the definition of modeling. But she seems to think that because it's the best friend's business, it makes a difference. It caused so many complaints, that it was eventually removed from the website.

I just showed it to two coworkers, and all three of us (two liberals and a conservative, for the record!) all think it is entirely too suggestive of a pose for a 5 year old girl. I guess we are all perverts.

I see nothing wrong with that photo. She's five, it's not like she's 15 and has something to hide. Good lord. I can't believe something like this has gotten such negative attention. What exactly is provacative, lewd, scandalous, sexy, or sleazy about this? She looks like a little girl. My niece comes home from friends houses with those rub on tattoos all of the time. My 3 year old, hell, it's all we can do to keep clothes on that kid. Oh to be so young and uninhibited. <77> Oh, and the Brooke Shields picture looks like the wrong head on that body, and she is COMPLETELY nude in that picture.

Ah, no Tigerfan. Keep giving your two cents! I was glad to see you post. It's nice to get a male perspective on issues like this, too. It was nice to see you come out of hiding.

With respect to the "picture", while everyone is welcome to offer their opinion about it, can we all please do so without casting aspersions on other members. Thank you.

Thank you Hermi I dont have issues, I have a daughter, and if a picture like that was on the internet, I'd be furious. Perverts, sick-o's and child molesters eat crap like that up!! Hello...Jon Benet Ramsey anyone!?!?

He stepped away from the computer and I told him Hermi, at least, appreciated his two cents. FTR, I think the photo is inappropriate, also.

FWIW, I got a spam child porn once about 4 years ago and I never forgot it because I felt filthy just having opened the email unknowingly. That picture of Cindy's daughter reminds me very much of the picture that was in that email. I was so disgusted that I forwarded the email to the local branch of the FBI. Just sayin'.

She is not posing in a little girl way. She is posing provocatively. That is the issue I have a problem with. Physically she is not showing anything. But there is an allusion to sexy. That entices the sickos.

Personally I think it wouldn't matter how she was posing it would still entice sickos because well they are sick.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, PEOPLE has confirmed. Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. "She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori. Pompeo and Ivery, 37, both Boston-area natives, grew up minutes away from each other, but didn't meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. They didn't start dating right away. "We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me," Ivery told PEOPLE in October. Their relationship is laid-back. "We had a great day yesterday," Pompeo told PEOPLE. "We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV." More on this story Celebrity Weddings Pompeo added, "We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We'll get married eventually, secretly." According to Pompeo's rep, no wedding date has been set.

I heard Barbara Walters talking about it on The View the other day. I only caught bits and pieces but it was a painting that he had just purchased and he backed up into it with this elbow. I think it was during a party and Barbara was there. He just kinda said and here's my painting and the rest is history.

Pamy: Wynn damages painting. I read somewhere a few weeks ago that it'd be a fairly involved process to fix it but can't find the article now.

What happened was that he has this Picasso. He was about to sell it to his friend for the highest price ever paid for a painting(139 mil). Well he had this party and Barbara & a few others asked to see the painting. So he brought them up to his office to see it. He suffers from this eye disease that affects his peripheral vision. He gestured with his arm and riiip....

LOL - what a great story! He has a good sense of humor and at least the painting isn't ruined. In fact, it arguably could be worth more now!

LOL, all I could think about was how sick he must have been when he realized what he'd done! Don't care if ya got all the money in the world, damaging a 139 million dollar had to have made him sick!

You may have remembered reading about the Picasso because I posted the info about the Wynn painting damage in this thread way back when it happened (was in the Las Vegas paper).
