The kids seem to be growing up

Ariel Winter has been banging around television and movies for over 10 years. Doing voice overs and bit parts, she's in the beginning of maybe a career but it's hard to say without any solid acting in her repertoire. What kept her in the public eye mostly was that as a baby fat teenager, an alarming amount of that baby fat went to her bosom, sending the hormonal blogger types into a frenzied 18th birthday calendar watch that has become all to frequent nowadays.

Last year, Winter underwent breast reduction surgery to reduce her bosom from what I believe they said was EE to a more manageable D. She spent most of the time afterwards staying with the modest attire she adopted as an awkward teen. Well, either her publicist gave her the nudge or she noticed after a few Twitter posts, that exploiting her new containable curves would up her Q score (if they still use that . . . I'm so old), Ariel's been seen out a lot more often in bathing suits and low cut dresses and such and thus you see her popping up on celeb blogs regularly now. I guess that qualifies as mission accomplished:

hailee steinfeld

I first came across Hailee Steinfeld in the movie adaptation of Ender's Game. She showed some acting chops in a difficult role that required her to play an older than her chronological age child thrust into warfare role. As I said, she did a good job in that, and I was struck by her non-traditional looks -- dark, dark features with amazing eyebrows. More recently she was in the sort-of-disappointing sequel to Pitch Perfect (the original is a guilty pleasure of mine) where her character was fairly unused and I was surprised by the weakness of her voice, which I sort of remember them focusing on as a positive in the promotion for the film.

Like Ariel above, Hailee is 19 now and continuing to branch out and is probably looking for more grown up roles. I was surprised by her recent photoshoot for Interview where the look in the images has more of a naughty underage look to them. Maybe I'm misreading them. I like her dramatic looks though, and the last pic is something she put on Twitter that looks much more mature than the professional stuff put out in the magazine. She may want to push for that in future photoshoots, imho:

chloe grace moretz bikini

Chloe Grace Moretz is probably the elder statesman of this lot, bursting into the public's consciousness with her portrayal, at age 13, of the profane killer/superhero Hit Girl in the first Kick Ass movie. Moretz barely let things simmer down before she jumped into one movie role after another, showing a sense of fearlessness and solid acting ability in role choices rarely seen in the industry. She got a bit more attention recently by chiding Kim Kardashian for yet another nude selfie posted online saying that Kardashian might want to remember she's a mom now and could be using her celebrity for something more worthy than shameless self promotion via relentless public nudity.

Silly girl. Taking on the internet cash cow that is a Kardashian set Moretz up for plenty of snark from the gay celeb blogger circuit. And when Moretz, now 18, and starring in a sequel to Neighbors, where she plays a party-hardy college freshman, did a themed photoshoot for Complex that barely moves the needle on sexy or exploitive, those bloggers didn't hesitate to call her a hypocrite. Like Trump supporters, nuance and facts have little effect on the celeb blogger -- marketing a movie with mildly saucy imagery is apparently the same as endless nude fame-whoring in their tiny minds:
