Exactly :yes:
Also what worries me is that these ultra ultra skinny celebs and models (or perhaps more correctly, the people who are using their image) are normalising a body image which is not healthy at all...yet the more we see it, the less shocking and more normal it becomes to people.
It bugs me too when a few years down the line they write autobiographies detailing their "fight with an eating disorder" which inevitably sells a few million copies, long after their "completely healthy weight loss" or "their naturally slim body" has corrupted the women/girls who believed them in the first instance.
Hope that ramble makes sense.
I think you'll find that is what you're thinking, rather than what i'm saying.
Skinny people aren't all unhealthy is what i'm saying, Spain banning skinny models is insinuating that skinny people are unhealthy and a bad role model!
Yes people have anorexia, I think you'll find the bigger problem is obesity, This should be concentrated on more importantly, As it seems to be the majority of the problem for eating disorders
Imagining the catwalk without skinny models, would be as strange as Maccy D's without it's super-sized diners.
this disussion is not about slim models, its about models whose legs/thighs dont touch when then stand with their legs together, its about girls who take a line of coke rather than eat some soup.......
and i totally disagree that obesity should be concerntrated on more than annorexia, they are both dangerous and should be both tackled in an equal manner
i seriously think that u have no idea what ur actually talking about, u just seem to be going round in circles, despite us tellin u numerous times that this topic/ban isnt about skinny models its about seriously underweight models whose health is in danger
Oh, and on a personal note, I'd say Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Bislon, Liv Tyler and Denise Richards would make the best catwalk models if we're going for celebrities.
eta: kelly brook is cuvry but shes one of those lucky women who is curvy without being fat. she is actually really slim.
Strange as it sounds, The title of the thread states.. skinny women should be banned from the catwalk, rather than
"spain bans unhealthy models from the catwalk" ??????????
Legs/thighs don't touch when they stand their legs together, are you sure you know what you're talking about?
oh and sorry Mrs think you know it all, when you clearly don't!!!
Two things to clarify - nowhere does it say that all slim/skinny people are unhealthy. And an unhealthy weight is a problem and should be addressed with equal seriousness, no matter what end of the spectrum it occurs.
There is also a connection between bad eating habits and an unhealthy relationship with food in order to be thinner when young, and obesity later in life. In black and white terms, it comes down to your self esteem and your relationship with food.
There is no need for all the sniping going on in this thread.
