Kristina Pimenova: 9-Year-Old Dubbed 'Most
Beautiful Girl In The World', Is This Wrong?


She's got big, blue, piercing eyes.

The curves of her top lip meet in a perfect cupid's bow
and she's got dimples to rival Cheryl Fernandez-
Versini's.

All of these features, plus a few more, have led to
Russian-born Kristina Pimenova being widely labelled
"the most beautiful girl in the world."

Celebrating female beauty is a nice, so what's the issue here?

The thing that people seem to be missing here is that,
at the heart of all these stories about looks and
attraction, is a child.

Kristina Pimenova is nine years old.
The young girl was first thrust into the world of
modelling at the age of three-years-old and she's since
had campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana
and Armani.

The biography on her Facebook account claims:
"Kristie soon realised how much fun [modelling] was,
especially catwalk and fashion shows. She's been
having a blast ever since and is still loving every
minute of it!"

The fact that she is a model isn't really the issue -
there are plenty of young girls and boys out there
modelling and acting and having a brilliant time.

The problem lies in the attitudes of everyone else
around her.

Kristina's Facebook page has over two million fans
and people "like" and comment on the pictures posted
there in the hundreds-of-thousands.
Some commenters are innocent in their intentions,
congratulating Kristina and encouraging her
modelling career.

Some remarks, though, are unnerving.
The worst comments (those with overtly sexual
overtones), it seems, have been deleted - as it warns
will happen in the page biography.
Many of the comments that remain, howeve, are still
worrying.

A lot of them stem from adult men and they aren't
using terms like "sweet" or "cute", they're using terms
like "beautiful" and phrases like "I think I'm in love"
and "marry me."
Some with themes of enchantment like "what sorcery
is this?" are a little too reminiscent of the terminology
used in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita - a book about
pederasty and an awful, sexual relationship with a
young girl, in which the adult male claims to be
helpless against Lolita's magical charms.

Even more worrying, there's a line in the Facebook
page's biography that states: "Kristina's pictures
cannot be used for role playing," suggesting that
Kristina's parents are aware of the strange trend for
stealing young children's photographs to be used in
other people's online fantasies.

The larger part of Kristina's fanbase may be made up
of innocent well-wishers, but clearly there is a portion
that aren't.

So then, at a time when allegations about child abuse
seem to make it into the press at an increasingly
terrible rate, perhaps we should be taking every
measure we can to prevent the image of young girls
from being sexualised.

For even those with the purest of intentions, getting
into the practice of evaluating a child for their beauty
and aesthetics, rather than anything else, is probably
not a good idea, because it risks justifying the less
innocent behaviour of others.


What do you think? Is calling Kristina "the most
beautiful girl in the world" okay? Nairalanders, Let us know in the comments!

She looks good. She also looks like some characters in horror movies.

beautiful?yes
most beautiful?twaaaaaaah*spits*

Is bewrivul, won fine

Were little Nigerian angels considered before concluding that she is the most beautiful?

And whats with sexualizing small children, at this age, it should be the most brillant or most talented.

Caucasian ladies are the most beautiful ladies in the world.... Irina shayk is another example.
Any bad belle that thinks otherwise can go and jump inside lagos lagoon.

Shes beautiful i must say.. But most beautiful? In the whole world?? Haba no na! Ive even seen a nigerian girl who is by far more beautiful than this girl. Black shiny hair, full succulent pink lips, oval shaped face, high cheekbones, full eyebrows, very long eye lashes and hazel eyes! Shes so beautiful!
let them just remove the long hair and fairness in her, and thou shalt see the ugliness in her! My thoughts!

You can call it whatever you like but I don't have any imaginary slavery mentality. I just chose not to partake in your deluded mentality.
Mind you I didn't say afridcan kids aint beautiful. But the most beautiful on the planet, I will pass.
