Lovelyish

Oh my, do people have nothing better to complain about? Not everyone is going to agree how to parent but nobody should tell you how to so I guess I don’t see the big deal with a baby in a bikini. I love the color.

I happen to think the photo is cute.  The only time it is inappropriate is when people start looking at the photo in a sexual way.  People post pictures of their baby online wearing only a diaper and maybe a beanie.  Is that in inappropriate?  And in some cases, naked on the scale.  Anyway, cat in a bikini time.  

Oh my god, are you kidding me?  People are reading WAYY too much into this.  The baby is not being sexualized.  The bikini is not inappropriate.  It’s FINE.  It’s hardly even a “bikini” anyway, hugging tight against the baby’s body or anything, not to mention it’s a crochet bikini – hardly scandalizing.  And, come on.  How can the baby be sexualized if.. there’s nothing to even sexualize yet!  Yes, that bikini is terribly sexualizing and degrading to that poor baby, what with her undeveloped boobs popping out and accentuating that little baby tush…. -__- No.  It’s completely innocent and I actually think it’s really adorable.  Mothers put cute little things like these on their babies all the time.  Oh, and might I add – So it’s okay if a baby is running around completely naked, but oh, it’s ~taboo~ if it’s running around in a crochet bikini?  I don’t quite see the logic there.

I was more mad that people thought it was a big deal. They’re just making Jessica feel bad because she’s a celebrity. I see people with babies in bikinis but no one hassled them. Natalie Portman’s son was naked on the beach but no one screamed at her.

I’m so sure Jessica Simpsons is like “Let me put my baby in this bikini because it makes her look so sexy”.  People need lives.

Hmm. I personally think it is strange to see a baby in a bikini….
But whatevs. Not my kid, doesn’t matter what I think. Lol

the photo on the cover of People is adorable… the top photo.. meh not so much.. but maybe if it had been in a different colour? (Is it just my computer or does the yellow bikini make baby’s skin look yellow-ish?)
I don’t like bikinis on babies.. but thats just my personal taste.

I don’t think I would put a baby in a bikini because it’d be super annoying in terms of getting them dressed and keeping it on, haha. But I don’t think any clothes really “sexualize” children unless it’s literally saying words about sex. Little baby boys AND girls run around the beach in just diapers; they’re goddamned babies. They all look like little goofy chubby dolls. There’s nothing sexualized about ‘em. I find explicit shirts on kids (which are eerily everywhere these days) much more offense.

I agree with what everyone else as said.   I can’t stop laughing imaging people having cows over this picture.  I am sure Jessica Simpson decided she would start Maxwell early, Suri Cruise is tough competetion.

@babybug329@xanga - lmao, best cat pic everrrrrr

It bothers me less than when I see toddlers in bikinis.

I suppose because so many people just let infants wander about in diapers, It’s sort of like “well at least she’s not walking about naked?”

That’s ridiculous!  There’s nothing sexualizing about that photo!  It’s cute!

when i was a kid, i couldn’t stand swimsuit fabric on my stomach.  apparently, i fussed so much with my suit when i was a baby, that i managed to put a hole in it.  i basically lived in a bikini, and no one said anything.  

I think its weird to put a baby in a bikini only because people are so wary about pedos now adays.  It’s not ugly or sexualizing to me.  I think it’s absolutely adorable.  Toddlers-elementary aged children?  Not so much because that’s the age pedos target quite a bit and I am terrified of something like that happening.

However, that baby is just when big chunk of “pinch me I’m cute”ness!  Its so chunky with it’s rolly-polly legs!  I love it.

I think it is a little different from, say a 9 year old wearing a bikini than a tiny baby. I see nothing sexual with that picture.

Little girls’ bikinis have been around forever. I had some too (as a toddler, maybe not an infant–same concept though). Swimwear exists for everyone, not just sexy skinny 20-somethings. So tired of all the complaining about any other demographic wearing a bikini.

She looks adorable people are just all upst about it because it’s Jessica Simpson and people always have to say something negative about her. I don’t personally like her that much but I don’t see anything wrong with this picture and I do not think she is sexualizing her seriously people complain about this but support shows like Toddlers & Tiara’s.

I have a massive thing against children in bikinis. Yes they are only sexual if we sexualize them, however you may not sexualize them, but the pervert next door does. Children shouldn’t be wondering around in diapers. They should be in onsies, at least. 

The bikini is cute. I’m more disturbed at how much her baby looks like a derpy persian. Wtf is wrong with its face in the second photo? o.O
Hope it grows up to be good looking.

I think its adorable. people need to relax.

Hehe. As a joke, if I were to have a baby boy, I’d dress him up in one of those fake bikini onesies.

Anyways, her baby looks like a cute little piggy.

@MyPublicSite@xanga - really? So in summer you expect babies to be totally covered up? Come on now. Paedophiles are going to sexualise your child whether they’re butt naked or bundled in a snowsuit. Changing what they wear won’t change how at risk they are.

What the hell. Yes, pedophiles will like it. They stare at your kids anyway though.
If you are interested in children’s well-being, stop scandalizing every decision their parents make and undermining their credibility and authority that way. Children do indeed need clear guidelines. What if they google themselves one day and read “your parents sexualized you, your parents abused you, your parents neglected you, you have a spoilt character because of your parents?” Leave other parents alone and if you are really worried, talk to them before doing anything else.

And besides, if a pedophiliac intends to molest children, that theory just gives them an excuse.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - lol you are so naive, that’s like telling a man to keep his eyes to himself when a woman is wearing a low cut shirt, versus wearing a turtle neck. A lot of people are very naive about the way pedophiles work, and so that is why 1/3 women will have been molested by the age of 18. And 1/5 men. I don’t blame Jessica Simpson, because she’s probably just as naive as the rest of the world, but Claude Knights is right by making that comment. She should have done her research, before making that a fashion statement. She is a celebrity and because we’re not dealing with NORMAL people who sexualize children at the beach. We’re dealing with pedophiles. People who are attracted to children, as straight men are attracted to women. Seeing children’s bodies, turns them on, and I for one, wish not to expose my child to that.

My niece does not wear bikinis since I started doing research on the subject when she was three and talked to her parents.

As a kid I wore bikinis o_0 and that was 15+ years ago…

Whoever got turned on looking at that baby is truly sick and trust me, it wasn’t the bikini’s fault. The baby is adorable. Bikinis on babies are at the other end of the spectrum in terms of sexiness. Seeing babies with bikinis is cute because they are like fat old men in bikinis. So maybe those perverts could think about fat old men in bikinis when they see babies with bikinis on.

I found absolutely NOTHING wrong with that photo. Her baby looks so adorable!

I’m absolutely sure she didn’t put her kid in that to “exploit” her.  When did this become a sexual thing?

okay if you are going to reveal your baby to the world… why would you do it in a bikini? HELLO? A cute dress would be great! She can definitely afford a pretty one.

Claude Knights need to seek psychological help for his pedophilia tendency if he sees something sexual about this photo.  What a disgusting thought.

@MyPublicSite@xanga - Good grief.  Crazy people see pedos everywhere, doesn’t mean your neighbor is lurking over your back fence checking your kids out in the back yard.  And if the pedo is doing that, he’s going to be doing that if you child exists at all. 

Woman wear bikinis to look sexy. Babies wear them because we think it’s adorable. Please explain the issue to me. How is it “totally inappropriate?” Do people think someone will be turned on by this? The child will have corrupted morals later in life? 

@MyPublicSite@xanga - I understand your point. I would not let my older child walk around in a bikini, because I want to teach them to be modest. A bikini goes from “cute” on a chubby infant, to “inappropriate” on a toddler or young child. However my 13 month old goes outside in a diaper occasionally, if we are playing in the mud or something. You can’t even tell if she is a boy or a girl when she is wearing only a diaper. I’m just not going to constantly be paranoid that some perv is watching my infant waddle around in the grass. And that really does sound like paranoia. It’s not naivety, it’s just confidence in knowing that I have my child under my watch and she is protected with me. Even full clothed and walking around the mall someone could be watching her. But there is nothing to “expose her to.” I don’t think she will come to me in 15 years, upset because I let her go outside with no clothes as a baby. There are a lot of sick people in this world. To be shielded from all of them we would have to stay in the house 24/7 and have no outside contact with other humans. 

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - having your child in your back yard with a diaper and plastering your child on Katie Couric’s show in a bikini are two seperate things? Non? 

@LondonsMommy@momaroo -  I am clearly talking about having babies clothed in public. 

@MyPublicSite@xanga - Yeah, a pervert can jump the fence… a random dude watching tv has to get through Jessica Simpson’s body guard.

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - It’s really not about action, it’s about lessening the thoughts a pedophile has of a child. I don’t even want a pervert looking at my child. I am in the middle of Jacyee Dugards story and she talks about him jacking off to pictures of little girls in shorts that he took at a park. So I’d rather not make my child the obvious target of photos while they are in a bikini as that quite obviously is more revealing then shorts. 

@MyPublicSite@xanga - That’s just victim blaming.  No matter what any of us do, pedophiles will exist and will use any pictures they can.  So, should children not wear shorts in public?  

If someone finds anything sexual about that adorable photo of an innocent little baby, then they may be pedophiles. To the normal eye it just looks like a beautiful baby girl in a bathing suit. If you think otherwise, then you are probably attracted to little kids and you need serious help.

Aww I think that photo is precious and adorable! When I have a baby girl I’m crocheting her adorable little outfits

@PocketfulOfDreams@xanga - agreed!
