Answer this...

Daddy has an open mind about this...

Ford model Vanessa Simmons, the 21-year-old daughter of former RUN-DMC star Joseph "Run" Simmons, shocked her dad when she told him she would be posing for sexy men's magazine Maxim.

The rapper turned reverend said this...

"My daughter is in Maxim magazine. She has to wear a bathing suit. Oh, Jesus.

She said, 'Daddy, I have to be in Maxim magazine.' I said, 'Can I come to the photo shoot?' She said no, so I sent Angela, my youngest daughter to go and watch.

I'm just trying to make sure I can keep my kids guided correctly and let them have a fun time at the same time.

Sometimes it's hard to let go. You have to close your eyes and hope for the best. I've seen the photos, but haven't seen the magazine, it hasn't made it's way into the house, (but) I'm open."

Daughters in the house of this...

Vanessa is the oldest child and after course work this summer will be a graduate of St. John's University. A Ford model and aspiring actress, when Vanessa isn't out on auditions and castings she can be found at home with her family and her pet dog, a miniature Yorkie, Juicy. Juicy is as fly as any member of the Simmons family.

Angela's the smart student. She recently graduated from the Fashion High School of NYC with an A average and will be attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in the fall. Angela often thinks that the Simmons name is a blank check for extravagance.

Last year, the girls were featured on MTV's "Run's House."
