I notice there has been a good amount of publicity about "super" models, and runway models in general, and their unhealthy weight, and general appearance.
A lot of models are unhealthy, and gaunt in appearance, and the makeup only hides a bit of the damage they do to themselves. I recently saw a Dove soap? advert on TV, with a bunch of women standing round in bikinis/underwear, and some of them had slightly saggy tummy skin, and some were late 20's and late 30's, and were not obviously emaciated 16-20 yr old matchstick models, and I found myself instantly attracted to their natural beauty.
Fucking huge thumbs up to Dove for putting an advert on TV with REAL women, whom my daughter can look at, and thing "she's pretty, but isn't a beanpole with hair", and realise that this is how women look normally.
A recent comment from my daughter finally won me a months long battle with my wife, about letting our daughter (8 yrs), watch Americas Next Supermodel. She said that she though she was getting podgy, and wondered if she was eating too much fat, and was going to eat less. FFS she is 8 yrs old, and is looking at "dieting", that is just so damn wrong it's scary.
Overhaul the model industry completely, the "skin stretched over ribs" look is fucked up.
