So, Brooke Shields, the child star who was famous in the 70s and 80s, was so very exploited as a child.

A photographer took some sexually suggestive pictures of her in 1978 when she was only ten years old, and those pictures were eventually published in Playboy.

She is one of the few child stars that did not go off of the rails, and I find her amazing. I remember growing up seeing her in these ads and wondering why they made her look like a grown-up. I never wore Loves Baby Soft perfume because I thought the commercials were gross.

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields is on Hulu if you want your skin to crawl.

Edit: watching this makes me wonder if this was part of the reason my boss thought it was ok to expose himself to me when I was 16 years old. 😒
