I like the safety warning for the Bacon tiara:
You are going to be working with an enzyme that bonds protein. You are made of protein. Unless you want to glue your lungs together or glue your eyelids to your eyeballs, you absolutely must follow these safety rules. We cannot be held accountable for any mishaps you might have while working with transglutaminase.

That was my favorite part, Sue. I am deeply disturbed by the bacon shingles on the gingerbread house.
I like bacon more than your average bear, but I draw the line at Bacon Crafts.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My nephew has a friend who is a child actor and who has been cast in a couple of series -- when he's over at my sister's house, there's a long list of things he's not allowed to do, and what she must do if anything happens -- because the studio doesn't want the kid to get bruised or otherwise marked.
I realize I'm not a parent, but am I the only one whose instinctive reaction to this would be "Oh hell no. He can opt in for this when he's 18, but for now he gets to go be a kid, bumps, bruises, and all."?

He can opt in for this when he's 18, but for now he gets to go be a kid, bumps, bruises, and all."?I'm sure that most people react this way. I also think that if you asked Billy Ray Cyrus if he'd let his daughter pose topless for a photographer he would have said, "No way!"
However, when presented with a contract that you believe could ensure your kid's financial future, or when Annie L. says, "I'd like to wrap her in this with her shoulders and back bare" the answer might be different.

Parents charged in diabetes death
If convicted, the parents face maximum sentences of 25 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Good. In fact, 25 years isn't long enough.

Well, yeah, but then there are still plenty of kids who aren't child actors who aren't allowed just to be kids anymore.

"My husband, Dale, was crying and mentioned taking Kara to the doctor, and I said the Lord's going to heal her and we continued to pray."
this is what's going to kill them. they made a conscious decision not to take her to the doctor.

I think that she's an amazing photographer, and I'm trying to think of what I would do if, say, I was managing my gorgeous niece and was in this situation.

I think that she's an amazing photographer, and I'm trying to think of what I would do if, say, I was managing my gorgeous niece and was in this situation.
I have also heard she is very controlling on set, and even big stars have been cowed by her. I wonder how difficult it would be if you were the parent of a child star to argue with her about a shot. Not that I'm saying is going on here.
That said, I think the picture in question is beautiful, but provocative. I don't really know if I have a problem with it. Which is probably why I'm not a parent.
