There are so many perv photographers out there, but how does this one get away with it? How many girls have not yet come forward? It makes you wonder if he has done more than what the rest of you have spoken out about. Sicko!

In Tavi’s defense, she had a lot of anti terry stuff on her tumblr before it become a huge internet sensation. I guess she was just trying to culminate her thoughts in the best way possible to write a really articulate post about it. You can’t blame her for that
Her blog is pretty much just as good a venue for anti Terry Richardson campaigning as would be the press conference. Huge figures in fashion visit her blog. Rei Kawakubo seems to have, the mulleavies, the pop team…

i didn't know much about Terry Richardson till now (ok shoot me!) but this, Tavi's post, & the girl shes recommended on twitter opened by eyes i can't believe that magazines are peddling this porn! what is wrong in the world when a 14 year old & only a handful of other people are blowing the lid off of this?

mimi – But morality impels us to seek justice even as the possible expense of our career in fashion! That is the whole point!

14 is not too young for moral consciousness. Although of course, some people never achieve it.

Thank you for being involved, if only philosophically!

sister wolf – i think some people saw it as brave because she could be jeopardizing her future career in the fashion industry, burning bridges and what not. not because she was actually “speaking out” itself, but more so because she could anger a lot of his supporters who could be her future employers (e.g. anna wintour continues to hire TR despite his reputation)

make of that what you will.

Pffftthhh. I too hoped Tavi would step up and do the right thing. Oh well, back to ignoring her blog.
And now I have even more reason to like Coco Rocha! Bravo to her for being one of the truly brave people in this TR awfulness.

Constance -We are in agreement, see my comment above (scroll up). I expressed no props, merely urged action. It was a futile hope that this kid had some real integrity.

Sister you disappoint me, Tavi and her sponsored blog are simply awful.

I thought you would be the one to break the Tavi Love Chain. Guess Not! Bad Sister, bad!

I see no one particularly “brave’ in this story, did anyone complained about him to the police, I guess everyone has their “career” in so much regard, that they are willing to let it pass. I simply cannot get worked up about this.

Come to think of it, ‘brave’ in this case would be Coco, who might have actually been putting her career at risk by speaking out about the shit she had to go through in order to do her job.
