It has been my understanding that fashion designers dress their models as they would like their boyfriends to dress.

Finally. Less Paris Hilton, more Salma Hayek.

Now that they have solved the crisis of skinny models, does that mean that soon the auto makers will start making their midsize cars so that I can actually see out the front window?

[uptoolate]

Now that's funny!

I think it's called 'heroin chic'. It's still slightly more expensive than 'crack whore'.

[Charles Henrickson]

fleshier women as role models.

Roll models?

[citizencon]

Good bye to 'gaunt, emaciated' and cocaine-snorting models...

Models to be banned for being too thin

[originalbuckeye]

I have a good friend who is borderline ( she says she's not) anorexic. We are now post-menopausal age and she has osteopenia. I suspect that this will be an epidemic in the model and the Hollywood actress worlds. I have already seen Sally Field advertising for a medication for osteoporosis.

[pcottraux]

Ah...now this is good news.

[CindyDawg]

Now if we could bring the height down to about 5'2" :')

Spain Bans Slender models! Anorexics and Bulimics Most Effected.

[Charles Henrickson]

Spain's main fashion show is to turn away models if they are too thin. . . .

The rein in Spain falls mainly on the vain.

The association said it wanted models to project "an image of beauty and health" and shun a gaunt, emaciated look at the show

You tell her she doesn't qualify.

I'm not into the fashion scene, so I don't really know what they are dealing with. I do know that a lot of women get pretty upset about the young girls looking so thin. The probl is, young people are naturally thin.

If we're talking about skin and bones, one or more examples on this thread (if for real), there should be some sort of help made available for these women.

If we're simply talking about women in their late teens to late twenties that still have a youthful figure, then the fashion police should back off.

I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate when in my late teens to my early thirties. Everyone said I should put on weight. Hey, that was just me. I ate more than most and still looked thin.

I remain amazed at how much time some folks seem to have to look for new ways to "fix" everyone else's problem.

If we wanted dead models, we'd use mannequins on wheels.

Finally, a cutie with a booty. Cushion for the pushin'. A lass with some @$$. A woman that looks like an adult female human.

Thin models are now being considered too bourgeoisie. The overweight proletariat are better suited for the job. Seventy-five years ago it was the the other way around. Back then the poor were seriously underweight.
