No, not cool - there is one thing about having Shawn Ray's daughter perform a routine (not in a bikini), which is a dance routine. My eight year old daughter does dance routinces, and that is perforamance, and not easy. It is anothing thing to have a 14 year old in a bikini pose on stage for judging. Too young. Simple as that. No matter how they look.
14 year old are easily manipulated. They do not have the developed mind - hence how Jason Ellis took advantage of a 14 year old, and eventually pled guilty.
No, I dont wish to photograph a 14 year old on stage in a bikini. No, I don't want them compared to someone who is 18 years or older.
Hell, in California, a 14 year old can't even go to a tanning salon (it is now illegal)
