don't be stupid.

this ticks me off how these models are so horribly thin. No wonder all these teenage girls have all these eating disorders. They look up to models like gemma ward, lily donaldson, coco rocha, etc. and the media is definitely to blame

thank God Tyra Banks has a brain.

they don't have anything. Not even a life.

I just recently got out of the fashion industry. I wore a size two at 5'9 a size up from the 0 i was the following year and I was the shortest and one of the biggest on the castings. I have never felt so inadequate. The heath initiative is a bunch of *%&^! They say, oh be healthy but maintain 33-23-32 measurements. They strip every component of yourself away until literally u r a walking pre-pubescent boy skeleton. Then they unmercifully throw u out when your overexposed.

keep calling them this is an illness not enough people speak for.....we allow the fashion industry to exploit young men and women in the name of "Fame" I am well now but had an eating disorder for many many years its a very at the least exhausting illness at worst fatal!!!

[intothedawn]

I got through, after a thousand times of calling!

They told me to stop calling on behalf of MamaV because it was harassment!

I laughed and hung up.

To be honest, I sometimes wonder if it's even worth it to try to fight the fashion industry... all they do is ignore the bad or release bogus press releases... it's so heartbreaking to see so many young models losing their lives... worse yet, the designers and agencies don't seem to give a damn so long as they have another model to replace her with. What a superficial, sick industry... :(
