What she describes sounds very messed up.

Felice did say that they overheard guys talking about their bodies on the show.

Yep! That always reminds me of the principal on Reba asking if she’s familiar with that phrase and Reba replies, “Yeah I’m familiar with it, I’ve just never heard anyone stupid enough to repeat it!”

Let's not forget that for a good part of the 'Out RAGE ous' session in which Tootie was being set up to model clothes, not only did the shutterbug keep shouting 'Out RAGE ous' when she'd pose but the show itself depicted the shots as though these were supposed to be provocative even though Miss Field's was clearly underage.

Yes, Mrs. G. got to cluck a bit and get Tootie OUT of it by the episode's end, but not before those pics were posted on the show itself (and they did nothing to try to help out the other model who 'jokingly' tried to extend her shelf-life with the perving pic man by claiming to be 'just twelve' years old).

I don't think there was anything "out RAGE ous" about the episode itself. The photos in that session were harmless; it was what was going to happen next that was outrageous. The episode was pointing out that girls were being victimized by the modeling industry (or pervy photographers). It was portraying reality. Brooke Shields' mother, for example, was pushing her daughter to pose nude.

And actually, oddly enough, we see a bit of a reflection of the sleaze in the early 1980s modeling industry in Julie Anne's 1982 video, where her mom has to explicitly state that Julie Anne is not going to do nude shoots (she was only 17 in 1982). Julie Pie, similarly, was just 18 when she won the starring role in Saturday the 14th, but gave up the role because it included a topless scene. Sue Ann was again replaced by Foxy, this time in the form of Kari Michaelsen.

The photographer in that episode was rubbing Kim Fields face which was also creepy (allegedly).
