I noticed a lot of these skinny bitches strut their shit with such an over sized ego, much too big for their frail looking bodies. ***

It may seem that the fashion industry perpetuates thinness in women, but truly it is just a reflection of the larger problem in society–that problem being that women are still unequal to men in society in general. Parading starving young (very young!) women and girls around as THE standard of beauty is only a stone’s throw from displaying them in chains, as slaves to a more powerful master, one whose presence is only inplied because it is unseen. These women you see, while successful in every way possible (as defined by society), are still slaves to a superior and more powerful force — they still have to succumb to the impossible rules and standards of beauty imposed on them by an unseen gatekeeper whose gargantuan size and scope swallows up everything in its path. The fashion industry is simply one of many, more obvious reflections of the oppression imposed by that gatekeeper. The message is: These women are the cream of the crop on every level, and yet they still must eat only upon the say-so of that gatekeeper. The message is: women, you can have it all…IF you ALSO show the world that you are still “really” a slave. You can BE mary-kate olsen & have all that goes with it, OR you can eat w/ the men….but you can’t have both.

that’s as far as I’ve thought it out…

I’m not saying they’re right but I heard from some fashion show that the reason they chose models that are tall, skinny, not the average woman is because it’s easier to see if they’re tall from the back of the room at runway shows, and if they’re skinny they don’t have breasts and butts.

The designer wants people to pay attention to their clothes, not how good the model’s assets look so they choose the girls that have less. I think the show was Make Me a Supermodel or something like that? I dunno…

But I’m 6′0″ and not skinny at all. I weigh 210 pounds so I really have conflicting feelings about fashion and models. I do think healthy should be promoted though.

But anyways, nice post. :)

I wish I knew what could be done, these models(especially on the runways) just look awful, sick and uncomfortable. I do not even understand how it got this far…
