Looks a lot less sexual than flipping through a Vanity Fair.

It doesn't bother me -- if the bottle looked anything like a phallus, then maybe, but it doesn't.

She looks like she just took that out of vagina.

I would agree with the "provocative, but not indecent" opinion. Mostly because of the flower at the top of the perfume bottle....deflower, get it?

I think it was an uneccessarily provocative ad for a 17 year old to be in, yes.

I was on the cusp with this one. I'm sure the photographer has other shots in better poses ~ just change to another one.

Personally, I think it's a rather ugly-looking photo.

I had to think about it for a moment as well. I finally decided it's too suggestive for a 17 year old. I have seen far worse ads but I don't like the whole Lolita thing because it sends out the wrong message in my opinion.

i dont see anything sexual about it. What could that bottle represent? a penis? what penis looks like that? you think the dress is too "young" looking? Well have you seen what Dakota wears to events? Dresses just like the one in the pic. So i cant help but think that she picked the dress out herself.

And id have no prob with it being my sister or daughter (if i had one) because when i look at family members nothing sexual comes to mind.
