Betsy looks really pretty in that pic in a bikini on her stories. However, I always wonder why you would share this with 200k strangers on the internet? I suppose Rachel would say, well why not? Betsy is a beautiful young lady and is wearing enough clothes to be on a beach in public, so why not social media. I’m not for or against I guess, but I know without a shadow of a doubt I wouldn’t let my daughter do it. I can’t really articulate why though- just seems like a bit too much of themselves to be flaunting online to thousands of people at such a tender age?
For me, I think I would feel differently about it if it was more of a candid, sunbathing in the garden, kind of shot? But this image is deliberately staged, as if she was saying “
Right I’ll sit here by the window so the light is good, I’ll lean back so it’s like a catalogue shot.”....I think it’s that aspect that bothers me- it’s enabling Betsy to be an exhibitionist who only values herself by likes on social media. It’s deliberately staged so that thousands of strangers comment on what a lovely figure her 15 yr old has? Weird.
I can only think that there’s some kind of addiction involved with the adoration of strangers? I mean I get excited when more than 10 people like a post of mine on this thread, so goodness knows what it would do to my ego/self-esteem if I knew I had an audience of 200k?
I suppose there is a potential brand collab with Shein by sharing it? After all , Betsy will need something to do once she receives her GCSE results in August
edit *she doesn’t look like a supermodel Rach- she literally looks like hundreds of thousands of other teenagers out there who wear a bikini? She’s perfectly lovely looking, but in a
totally average kind of way....no one would like twice at her in the street? Sorry to burst your bubble
