About time

Skinny models wearing thin in fashion shocker

Not sure this is the best way to deal with it, but *something* needs to get the fashion industry (and by extension, the clothing industry in general) to start using more realistic models as well as to quit playing games with sizes.

All I can say is ... AMEN, it's about time - no details either, experience, growing up, anorexic-bulimic-orthorexic- the modeling world ... just amen.

Madrid is heading in the right direction, and I hope other countries follow suit.

"I think its outrageous, I understand they want to set this tone of healthy beautiful women, but what about discrimination against the model and what about the freedom of the designer," said Gould, Elite's North America director, adding that the move could harm careers of naturally "gazelle-like" models.

Gould is definitely missing the point.
I'm sure naturally "gazelle-like" models could find jobs modelling pencils and bobble heads.
