WHY IN HELL DOES THE U.K MEDIA FEEL IT IS OK TO PORTRAY
AN ADULT CELEBRITY DRESSING AS A SEXY SCHOOL-GIRL?
WHAT SIGNALS DOES THIS SEND OUT TO SCHOOL AGE GIRLS?
I AM A LITTLE DISAPOINTED WITH GEMMA, SHE HAS A GREAT
FOLLOWING AMONGST THE U.K PUBLIC AND YOUNG GIRL FANS,
SHE NEEDS TO PLACE EMPHASIS ON BEING A ROLE MODEL!

A DECADE OR SO BACK WE WERE SEEING ESTABLISHED MAGAZINES HOSTING THEIR OWN MODEL SEARCH CONTESTS FOR COVER MODELS AND THE LIKE!
LATER AS MARKETING BUDGETS BECAME TIGHTER, THOSE SAME ESTABLISHED MEDIA COMPANIES FORGED AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER ESTABLISHED AND RELATED COMPANIES TO OFFER GENUINE OPPORTUNITIES/PRIZES IN SUCH CONTESTS!
UNFORTUNATELY. IN RECENT YEARS WE ARE NOW SEEING MORE AND MORE QUESTIONABLE CONTESTS APPEARING ONLINE, ENCOURAGING MORE ENTRANTS AND ASKING PEOPLE TO REGISTER FOR VOTES, THE PRIZES ON FIRST IMPRESSION APPEAR GREAT BUT OFTEN ON READING THE RULES CAN THEN SEEM STACKED IN FAVOUR OF THE MARKETING COMPANIES HOSTING THEN!
A RECENT EXAMPLE FROM PARENTING COM AND PARENTING MAGAZINE IS TYPICAL OF THIS, SOMEWHAT PREYING ON THE GOOD NATURE AND LOVE OF PARENTS WHO MAY THEN BE BLINKERED TO THE BIGGER PICTURE!
CONSIDER THESE FEW FACTS:
FACT: THE MAGAZINE AT NO TIME MENTION THAT CONTEST WINNERS WILL BE USED BY THEMSELVES? FACT: THE COMPANY HOSTING THE CONTEST IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS MARKETING COMPANY! FACT: RULES STATE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP FUTURE RIGHTS FOR THE SPONSOR TO USE YOUR PHOTOS AND NAME/S IN ANY FORM WITHOUT ROYALTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE A CONTEST WINNER! FACT: YOU WILL MOST DEFINATELY BE APPROACHED BY BOTH THE MEDIA COMPANY AND THE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY AND OFFERED RELATED PRODUCTS! FACT: YOU WILL BE ADDED TO RELATED MARKETING MAILING LISTS!
FACT: THE CONTEST MAIN PRIZE IS OF NO TANGABLE COST TO FORD MODELS, THEY SIMPLY HAVE TO ADD YOU SOMEWHERE IN THEIR LISTS! FACT: THE MONTHLY PRIZE BY THE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY IS OF MINIMAL VALUE TO THEM! FACT: THE PHOTOGAPHIC COMPANY CAN AMASS AN EXTENSIVE LIBRARY OF SALEABLE PHOTOGRAPHS THROUGH THE THOUSANDS OF ENTRANTS GIVING UP THEIR FUTURE RIGHTS, THIS IS NOW BIG BUSINESS!
NOW IF YOU ARE A CARING PARENT/GUARDIAN WHO MAY QUESTION WHY SOMEONE IS TAKING PHOTOS OF YOUR CHILD AT A SCHOOL OR EVENT, YOU MAY ALSO WISH TO ADOPT THE SAME CARE AND LOGIC PRIOR TO CONSIDERING SUCH MODEL SEARCH/CONTESTS ONLINE!
THE TRAGIC STORY OF ROSI BOXALL
BY FILEYBELLE
I could write pages and pages regarding this, but I think any caring person who reads the article (Click here) will probably share similar views as me and be totally shocked by the tragic life and death of Rosi Boxall. Generally my blog would be regarding the awful Girls that led Rosi to this, but to be honest I really can't be bothered to wonder about them.
If ever a vulnerable young lady needed the back up of a Street Wise Family Network it was Rosi
This was so wrong on so many different levels and the innocent victim was not just Bullied by these girls, but was also placed into this situation and environment/region by those who adopted her and who also it appears they lost direction when as a teenager she did not fully abide by their household rules
I have major issues over the lack of Parenting Skills in the UK and the way that Bullying and Teen Street Crime have just become matter-of-fact in Britain, there are many reasons why those Bullies exist and that really needs addressing now, but what really amazes me is when a young, potentially vulnerable girl is taken by UK Citizens to an environment and region such as Thamesmead,South East London, where perhaps the parents can survive within their own Vicarage Sheltered existence, but not so for a Brazilian adopted youngster, who found it hard to adjust to language, differing cultures, teen life and how her adopted family varied from the mainstream within a very tough street wise location!
This definitely was a recipe for disaster!
I mourn the loss of Rosi Boxall, such a waste of a Beautiful Young Life.
I hope we shall all eventually learn thru these sad stories please!!!!
