a certain kind of indellible image of what 'beautiful' means

On walking through the Mall I saw a little girl gaze at the floor to ceiling image of your typical Victoria Secrets exposure. I felt so sorry for this little girl who no doubt now has a certain kind of indellible image of what 'beautiful' means. It evidently means, 'give the public just the right exposure of skin and limbs, just the subtlest amount of cruelty and coldness in the assertive mouth, just enough to get the viewer to imagine the slow exhale of an abandoned sexuality on the panting lips...' While we pay much attention to the pollution of air and water and land do we ever give a thought to the pollution of a little girl's purity of spirit?
