   I agree.  She absolutely looks beautiful in those pictures, but
it's a little too sexual even for her.  She looks soooo young, some of
the pix border on kiddie porn stuff.   The one where she is leaning on
the railing looks like she is only wearing a top/shirt and nothing
else.  I know the photographer wanted to do some kind of artsy stuff
here, and for a model that's fine, for Sasha, I don't know.   Sasha
probably likes seeing herself this way in print form.  I don't think
it was a smart move.
