Im tired of being bombarded every day with these kinds of images (see the link below).
This model is not sexy. This model doesn't even have the shape of a woman. Im tired of commercials, advertisments, television, movies, just about everywhere, trying to push this skeletal image onto us. Women are supposed to have shape to them, not look like a pre-pubescent boy.

Who agrees?

I do. I always thought that real women had curves, not bones protruding.

I had the same problem when I was a teenager looking at the fashion magazines and i thought that these women in these magazines didn't have a flaw on them, but was I wrong. I found out while taking a psychology class that all these women do have flaws, but the magazine editors can use a different women's body on a different women's face. For example, it can be Tyra Banks face, but not her "actual" body. The editors use the computer to put a skinny women's body and made the public think that Tyra is actually this skinny . So we can try to be that skinny when we can't. So, don't believe that is the actual model's body.

So often when you look at fashion magazines or shows, it looks like some weird refugee camp where the starving have been dressed up!
The really bad thing about it is that it connects not only to anorexia and bulimia, but reduced metabolism from crash dieting in young women who think they need to look like that. It does not encourage healthy eating or body image. This feeds into the "obesity epidemic."
I'm thrilled that in Madrid, which is an emerging design capital, they're trying to change that by banning too-thin models.

I think it's getting worse. It's like they've lost the perspective of 'fat's where it's at; thin ain't in'. I don't agree with either, lol, but I think more people need to think about it. I mean, fat ain't bad. a little i mean, ya know? Seeing too skinny models puts a strain on young women, especially. They're trying to find who they are then they see a pic like THAT! God made women with an extra layer of fat for.. ya ready for this?.. SHAPE! NOT bones! So we need to encourage young women to be who they are. And the best way to do that is love them for who they are.

Like I once asked a friend of mine; When did the standard of beauty become a woman with an a$s like a 14 year old boy.?
I've seen some of those models who if they had black skin we would be trying to send them food aid.
It's jacked up but I don't see any way to change it.

Not really feminine is she? Except that the package is missing you could mistake the body for a young boy.

100% against this unhealthy, disgusting and repulsive fad. It is amazing how society can define beauty, when it is so obviously not.
