Hi-5 star slammed over sexy photos

Yahoo!7 April 19, 2009, 10:13 pm

Former Hi-5 star Kellie Crawford has upset some family groups after racy photos of her appeared in a men's magazine.

The 34-year-old, who spent 10 years with the children's entertainment group, posed for a series of photos in sexy lingerie for Ralph magazine.

Women's Forum Australia spokesperson, Melinda Tankard Reist, told News Ltd Crawford is sending a negative message to young girls.

"The fact she's posed on a cover is particularly problematic because magazines like Ralph are on shop shelves at kiddy eye level," she said.

"It's an abuse of her position with tens of thousands of little girls looking up to her."

Crawford said her husband Addam was happy with the photos as she defended her decision to appear in the publication.

"He said 'if this is going to make you feel like a woman and feel like I see you every day, then do it'," she said.

"I did for myself to remind myself that I am a woman," she said.

Julia Gale from Kids Free 2B Kids also criticised Crawford.

"Older teenage girls will wonder why performers feel the need to pornify their image," she said.

"They are damaged and harmed by messages that they need to sexualise yourself."

Yep - I suspect that last one was the tail end of the sheep trail.

The funny thing is that I would never have even known about this had it not been for the media attention brought about by her condemnation by the old fogy brigade.
