This is an ad from French Vogue that's advertising Christmas gifts. The model in the ad is 10 year old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau. This ad very accurately illustrates the definition of a "Lolita", a seductive adolescent girl. Thylane is portrayed as promiscuous primarily in the way that she is posed. She is being presented in a posture of submission, her shoulders are slumped and her frail limbs, which are too small to reach the ground or comfortably sit on the arm rests, are nakedly enticing. She is also wearing lots of make up, a revealing dress and tall heels which are generally reserved for older women. These are things that have been accepted as tools in society for attracting males.
