They can't blame models, people need to know its not their size that makes them sexy, but the way they carry themseves.

BS> Models are fun to look at. Only fat bitches who are too lazy to get thin, hate models

It isn't them that's doing wrong...What matters is /your reaction/ to them. You should be able to realize that it's not important; the inside is what's important...

It is very foolish to blame models for an eating disorder and how it's "destroying society" when it's not even true. People need to stop blaming the media for all their problems... when the core of the problem is around YOURSELF. It's all about acceptance.

I always look at models, the lack of expression in their face with this out-of-this-world clothes they're trying to sell, looking at them like mannequins. And that's what models are supposed to do, sell the merchandise. Who ever started the whole "models/girls in the media are the ideal women of the future" thing is obviously ignorant. I don't look at these models, thinking being skinny is the solution for a good life, that's ridiculous. If a girl does think that way, then she can be easily manipulated, and she can't survive this world if she's going to be that infuenced by the media so easily.

Then again, I wouldn't know how an "average girl" would think. People have always commented on how thin I am and accused me on having an eating disorder when I don't. But here's an easy decision: model = NOT bad. You can't blame others for something that happened to you. I hope your recover from your anorexia.

Okay. I fully believe that they are influnencing the younger generation to be something that they aren't/ So they are bad in my opinion. But I guess that everyone has a deiffernt view. As they may be harmless but to the a dozen girls that it totally changes the way that they look at themselves then I think it is a big deal.

“I think of models the way a painter thinks of the gallery wall. (I just want) something clean with no distractions.”- John Galliano, head designer of Dior couture.
Models are not supposed to be pretty. Models are not supposed to be an image of beauty. Models are not supposed to look like real women. Models are walking hangers. A couture dress serves the same purpose as a painting does: it’s art, not some consumerist’s delight. When a model walks down a runway, there is only thing to look at: the clothes. You’re not supposed to care at all what the model looks like, your just supposed to care about the dress. That’s why they have an exaggerated walk- it’s to show how the fabric moves. It’s why they’re skinny and lack all curves- because nothing is supposed to take away from the dress.
You said you in recovery from an eating disorder and I hope you’re able to recover. But just please remember, models are not the ideal woman. They are the ideal mannequin- that’s all.
