How do they define "sick" vs. "naturally skinny"? While I'm glad that they are taking the lead in eliminating the image that stick thin is perfection, I feel kind of bad for those models who just look like that naturally.
that's what i think, too. we talked about it in Ethics and i was the only one seeing it that way... yes, a lot of them aren't naturally that way, but just because we see them in magazines, it doesn't mean we are going to "become" anorexics; you have to be vulnerable to that already. a girl on the verge of anorexia will see a lot of things that will trigger that behavior. it's a complex situation and people are just saying "designers make the country bulimic! die!"
in my head,it was almost "no, not my little baby, the fashion world!"
I kinda agree with all you've said but we gotta admit that some models are kinda scary, just take a look at Snejana Onopka on the last miss sixty runway!
