Are they banning unhealthily fat models?

Kate Middleton, who recently completed chemo, remains Britain’s principal fashion icon.

A decade ago, there was “heroine chic” which I think was worse. Emaciated with sallow skin and sunken eyes. …Or makeup that made it look that way.

Was that Wendy’s? Burger King? I remember the ads but not the product. Probably not what they were going for.

You’re right! Wendy’s ad. I agree. I remember the ad far more than the product!

Shes thin (too thin for my tastes), but her body style is early half of the 1900s thin, which wasn’t bad. Carrying too much weight is usually worse health-wise than too little.

Little skinny for my taste, but she just looks tired, not unhealthy.

Now if you RENDERED that down I would bet you could get 400 pounds of LARD out of that.
