The 'make-up photo'

I believe Kate put the makeup on Madeleine.
I believe it is an innocent photo, granted they also took and released some other inappropriate photo's of her but I believe they saw nothing wrong with them either.
They would not have let a photo that was anything but what they saw as innocent out in the public domain.
 I think they were wrong in the circumstances to release those photo's.
In my opinion, it is just a photo and too much is being made of it, I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but that is what I think.

100% agree.

I agree. I still think she is holding the camera at arms length.

But I will agree with Peter that in the video, the photos either side of this are professional and dubious.

I'm glad that none of my family and friends  take such photos of their children; their offspring always look happy.

I was going to mention the Pussy Cat Dolls, Cake Lover. Kate also thought it was appropriate in her novel to describe in graphic detail what she feared might have happened to Madeleine.

Just in case anyone thinks the PCD were a children's programme, this is was what Kate thought was acceptable for a child.

I have never seen anything like it. Never heard of them either but our grandson is 43 now and was into heavy metal, still is. I am lost for words that producing something like that is even allowed and angry that a mother would subject her three year old daughter to it.

This photo and that Kate mentioned Maddie's genitals in her book have always gave me a shock moment in this case. After nearly 20 years, I still can't believe that the McCanns are not in prison.

add to the above, allowing others to bathe their children. K. McCann said 'When you're on holiday, you're all so into each other'. I have always thought a holiday was for kids, then your own relaxation. Spending time with your children is usually a big part, as well.

All of the above is very disturbing, to say the least!

Kate (and Gerry ) clearly think this racist, misogynistic, and sexually explicit material is suitable for 2 and 3 year old children
I am sorry to say that I don't.

LYRICS:
Okay (aah), yeah (aah)
Oh, we about to get it
Just a lil' hot and sweaty in this - (ooh, baby)
Ladies, let's go (uh), soldiers, let's go (dolls)
Let me talk to y'all and just, you know
Give you a little situation, listen (fellas)
You see this shit get hot, every time I come through
When I step up in the spot (are you ready?)
Make the place sizzle like a summertime cookout
Prowl for the best chick, yes, I'm on the lookout (let's dance)
Slow bangin' shorty like a belly dancer with it
Smell good, pretty skin, so gangsta with it (ooh, baby)
No tricks, only diamonds under my sleeve
Gimme the number, but make sure you call before you leave
I know you like me (I know you like me)
I know you do (I know you do)
That's why, whenever I come around, she's all over you
And I know you want it (I know you want it)
It's easy to see (it's easy to see)
And in the back of your mind
I know you should be (ooh) with me (aah)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha? Don't cha?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
Don't cha? (Ah, ah, ah) don't cha?
Fight the feeling (fight the feeling)
Leave it alone (leave it alone)
'Cause if it ain't love
It just ain't enough to leave a happy home (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Let's keep it friendly (let's keep it friendly)
You have to play fair (you have to play fair, yeah)
See, I don't care
But I know, she ain't gon' wanna share (ah, ah, ah)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? (Oh)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? (Like me)
Don't cha? Don't cha, baby?
Don't cha? Alright, sing
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me? (Raw)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me? (Big fun)
Don't cha? (Ah, ah, ah) don't cha?
(Okay, I see how it's goin' down)
(Seem like shorty wanna little ménage to pop off or somethin')
(Let's go)
Well, let me get straight to it
Every broad wanna watch a nigga when I come through it
It's the God almighty, lookin' all brand new
If shorty wanna jump in my Aston Vanquish
Lookin' at me all like she really wanna do it
Tryna put it on me 'til my balls black and blueish
You wanna play with a player, girl, then play on
Strip out the Chanel and leave the lingerie on (ha)
Watch me and I'mma watch you at the same time
Lookin' at you wanna break my back
You're the very reason why I keep a pack of the Magnum
And with the wagon, hit you in the back of the Magnum
For the record, don't think it was something you did
Shorty all on me 'cause it's hard to resist the kid
I got an idea that's dope for y'all
As y'all could get cold so I could hit the both of y'all
See, I know she loves you (I know she loves ya)
I understand (I understand, yeah)
I'd probably be just as crazy about you if you were my own man
Maybe next lifetime (maybe next lifetime)
Possibly (possibly)
Until then, old friend, your secret is safe with me (shh, hot)

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? (Oh)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? (Like me)
Don't cha? Don't cha, baby?
Don't cha? Alright, sing
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me? (Raw)
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me? (Big fun)
Don't cha? (Ah, ah, ah) don't cha?

Of course we believe you about doing this for research purposes! 

Kate seems to have no idea what is age appropriate. Madeleine supposedly liked Harry Potter; not that that's as bad as the Pussy Cat Dolls though.

Inflicting her own pervy taste on her children is gross.

I think I mostly agree with this too. Without any broader context or extra information, it is not really possible to be sure of anything with this photo even though it does seem a bit odd. We don't even know who took it. Was it even taken by the McCanns? Was it a genuine photo or retouched and to what extent? Were there any others taken at the same time? and many other mysteries...

I'm curious about what other photos are you referring to that you found inappropiate?

The pool photo and Lolita/Make Up photo were taken on Sunday, 29. April, 2007 (She had the same hairclip and it was the only sunny day).

There is another photo,  with the same make-up,  showing Madeline apparently lying on the floor, with one shoulder next to a skirting board. That may ring a bell for somebody?

I think this is the photo you are referring to Crusader. No blue makeup and a younger MM imo.

Yes, thanks Doug D. I misremembered the make up. I think she does look younger  and I  still think it's an awful photo.

I can't find them at the moment, perhaps someone on the forum will know where to locate them.

The lollipop photo is here on what is a really weird video.

I think she looks younger on the floor and the lollipop pic. Strange pics to release for a 3 years old little girl.

I'm old, and have seen thousands of photos of children, taken by their adoring relatives, but none such as those ^^.
