Oh Well…I think she is too young to be out there…mom and pop should keep an eye on her, make sure she walk a straight line…

Ava is very pretty, but at 12 years old I think the outfit was way too old and is sending the wrong message to teenagers–

My daugther 13 and has done some modeling since she was 10. After she does what she needs to do she’s back to her jeans and -shirts and homework. I thought she looked beautiful great job Ava

She looks adorable. The make up is simple and what matters is that she’s not walking down the street like that. If it’s something she wants to pursue then good for her. She looks adorable.

What message are we sending our young daughters when they see a 12 year old dressing like this? Am I going to buy this for my 12 year old daughter….I think not! What is the fasion/designers industry thinking??

She def. does not look 12!! She looks great, and very pretty… I just hope that someone along the way doesn’t convince her she’s too fat and she starts down the vicious cycle of anorexic models..

I am also a parent of teens. I am far from a perfect parent, I don’t think I should ever give anyone advice, let alone someone I don’t know!! However, I do know for a fact that many of you people are being very mean spirted. The child modeling those clothes has is a person with feelings. She looks great and she’s very cute! If you just saw the picture without knowing her name and age would you keep up with the comments? I doubt it…Enough with the negative comments against her, she’s just a kid!!

Stacey when it comes to parenting it sounds like YOU have noooooo idea what you are talking about.

“Why is everyone always so negative. I attended this very beautiful fashion show and Ava was fantastic, she acted her age and was just really excited to participate. She wasn’t out there to win some beauty, talent show. She was up there excited to show off her dad’s and Niki’s new clothing line that they have been working so very hard on for a very long time, and she has been a part of that all along. Heather was a fantastic mother. Heather was beautiful and personable, and a very proud mother. She was watching her daughter have a fantastic moment. Don’t be so quick to criticize when you have noooo idea what you are really talking about.

being a 12 year old model is relevant to the person doing it. its not for everyone thats for sure // i started modeling in london at 12 yrs old and people were up in arms. but they werent helping my family with bills and such so i did it to provide and was very successful and i turned out well and had a 13 year career in front of the camera.
good for her.

Her mother is there in the front row. If she were uncomfortable with *anything*, I’m sure she would have reacted prior to the date of the event. So no, I don’t see a problem with her mother sitting there in the front row allowing her 12 yr old to look like a 20 yr old FOR AN HOUR in a limited arena. If she were allowed to walk around like that, I’d have a problem with it.

Her daughter is not “on the pole.” She’s not even close to the pole. Both Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear know what superstardom is all about and are highly unlikely to allow their only child to get close to the point at which she’d be in danger. Why do you think Heather Locklear is there, just to smile and take pictures? No, it’s to control her daughter’s exposure.

wrong choice of dress for 12 year old

since when is 12 a teen??? I have to say, the clothes in this picture are a little mature for a 12 year old LITTLE GIRL! She is gorgeous though….a natural beauty!

Love Heather and Richie. I understand the need to teach your daughter the ropes but at 12 years old this it beyond comprehension…

She looks like a 20 something yr old playing dress up, not a good pose either (is this the best picture)?

PLEASE teach her right from wrong and survival skills, not “how beautiful can I be at 12″ skills…………………….

She looks beautiful and there is nothing wrong with modeling at 12 years old.

Go Ava!
