December 21, 2007 -- THE feud inside the New York Times over a provocative photo of a semi-nude, underage fashion model intensified this week after Times Magazine Editor Gerald Marzorati fired off a missive defending the photo.

The picture in question appeared in the Holiday issue of the glitzy fashion insert T, which came out Dec. 2, and features a soft-focus side-shot glimpse of 17-year-old model Ali Michael, and her exposed left breast.

Skinny,half-nude anorexic kid, posing as High Fashion with the NYT defending the pics. The parents should be dealt with by shoving the Sunday Magazine up where the sun don't shine.

[spokeshave]

Rules....

[Spruce]

All the ‘fashion’ designers are homos, so they like their ‘women’ to look like 13 year-old boys.

[Vision]

Perverts.

[popdonnelly]

It’s all exploitation.

[squarebarb]

But these are the elites and the world revolves around them and whatever they want.

You buck-toothed peasant. /sarc.

[wastedyears]

That is absolutely and completely disgusting.

[NonValueAdded]

Anything to shore up sagging circulation figures, eh?

If you can get a hand free you can click on the link, but it’s not worth the trouble.

Designers look for models with the following criteria: The thigh must be the same diameter as the calf. The upper arm must be the same diameter as the wrist. These dimensions are used by doctors to diagnose anorexia.

[weegee]

Wardrobe malfunction?

[fungoking]

No connection in the 16 year Spears getting knocked up. We know that the filth MSM trowels out has no consequences.

Sarcasm off.

[boxerblues]

What do they say about shoulder blades sticking out. heck for all we know what they claim is her breast is actually her ribcage sticking out

[wastedyears]

Not attractive to me. I’d prefer 19 to 23. I’m only 22 but I don’t find young teenagers attractive. They’re like 5’2” and 80lbs. I’m a small-frame guy myself, but twigs just aren’t attractive.

[ChocChipCookie]

Maybe it’s just me, but now all the trendy clothes for guys seem very “gay”.

[goodwithagun]

I don’t know about the shoulder blades, but the arm and leg diameters are used by doctors.

[antiRepublicrat]

Oh HELL no! Ain’t gonna happen with my daughters.

[Da Coyote]

Hey, it’s the NYT. They define the standards. Easy to do when they have none.

[goodwithagun]

The proper term is metrosexual. My husband refuses to dress trendy. He still wears his Wranglers and Carharts.

[toddlintown]

“Rules....”

I don’t think so.

[najida]

What is even more bizarre is every decade the models get smaller and smaller and younger and younger. So goes the fashion/TV and movie “ideal” female.

While the reality is the average female is larger.

The gap just gets wider and wider every year between reality and the standard of perfection.

[tobyhill]

NY Slimes, it’s called child porn! Ever heard of it?

[Malone LaVeigh]

Maybe it’s just me, but now all the trendy clothes for guys seem very “gay”.

I've noticed that trend also.

[Monterrosa-24]

That B&W pic in post #9 is a beautiful photograph of a beautiful model. I can see why she makes lots of money making clothes and products look good.

Thats my favorite look on men, you are a lucky lady!

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Seems like the designers are really looking for skinny little boys. Makes one wonder.

[mkjessup]

Not attractive to me. I’d prefer 19 to 23. I’m only 22 but I don’t find young teenagers attractive. They’re like 5’2” and 80lbs. I’m a small-frame guy myself, but twigs just aren’t attractive.

Son, you need to find yourself a stable, secure, mature COUGAR!!!

j/k - Merry Christmas!

[Popman]

Oh HELL no! Ain’t gonna happen with my daughters.

Same here, I must prefer to teach my daughters and I have, the concept of being beautiful within.

Bottom line we all get old, nothing uglier than a has-been worn out sliced and diced up former beauty queen/model trying to retain their looks.

[jdietz]

That girl is just plain unattractive.

[maggief]

Slimes does kiddy porn.

I’m stuned!

[RGSpincich]

[Popman]

I’m only 22 but I don’t find young teenagers attractive

That's good, considering young teenagers are jailbait.

[3AngelaD]

Thirty years ago, Gerald Marzorati would have been written off as just one more dirty old man who needed to be fired.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

That picture is not in the least bit attractive.

[wastedyears]

Not even in the sense I’d do anything with them. They look like garbage.

[Popman]

That B&W pic in post #9 is a beautiful photograph of a beautiful model

Yes, she is beautiful.

I hope someone teachers her beauty is only skin deep, but ugly runs down to the bone.

[wastedyears]

Just make sure your daughters eat meat.

[Mygirlsmom]

LOL! My hubby only wears polo shirts—he gets too warm in long sleeves even in winter. His criteria goes like this: if he can’t wear jeans with his polo shirt, the occasion is “formal”

[WakeUpAndVote]

Chewbaka's kid sister?

[wastedyears]

Does Wrangler manufacture in the USA?

[org.whodat]

A child molester is a child molester no matter the name brand of the camera. And give skinny something to eat.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Does she know she has Groucho's eyebrows?

[najida]

It’s long held fact, so don’t wonder.

The ideal body for models is not one that is even remotely female. Think clothes hanger. Or 12 year old boy.

[dubie]

The model in question...

[t1b8zs]

good point

[driftdiver]

Rules? You want child porn posted on FR?

[t1b8zs]

twigs? Check out Twiggy from the 60’s

[swain_forkbeard]

“It’s all exploitation.”

Yes, but exactly who is being exploited?

[t1b8zs]

After four years of modelling, Twiggy retired, claiming “You can’t be a clothes hanger for your entire life!”
