I'm with Blue on this one.

Those models are some of the *healthier* ones I have seen.

I think the modeling industry is slowly changing, unhealthy models are not used on the catwalk so much these days and its getting better.

I tend to think actors/celebrities do more damage to females self image than models.

Think of the healthy looking mid teen female actors that then get on the drugs/alcohol and into partying hard, that then look like stick figures...young girls dont stop idolising them because they become drug fucked idiots.

Anyways, I personally, dont have a problem with that ad at all...healthy looking girls.

I have a problem with crap like this....

Those aren't real photos, they are photoshopped or whatever.

The real pictures are still bad but not even close to that.

The first one is real, that model died.

The second one may be photoshopped, but its still out there for people with image problems to see and close enough to the real problem.

I thought the first one was in the same group of photos wear the second came from, my bad.

Here is the website...http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/models.asp

Still disgusting but no ribs are showing.

Whew.

And they'll all fill out some with time anyway.

SG, didn't I read where Parliament got into the modeling industry there and passed some kind of law to fatten up models or something?

It was the opposite actually.

Madrid and Milan banned models with a BMI of below 18 from their fashion weeks. The London Fashion Council in Britain refused to do the same for London Fashion Week and Tessa Jowell (Culture Secretary) said it was not the Government's place to force them, although she spoke out against it.

This year many of the new top designers have been cutting for different sized women, full-sized, plus-sized, one designed for overweight and it has sent the morons into fits. They openly stated that it is going to happen at fashion-weeks in Paris, Milan and NY. Something along the lines of "most of the women who can afford couture can't wear it" & "these are real women"...
It think it is AWESOME!

I'll be impressed when the designers include transvestites and transsexuals. Those people have special fitting needs.
