No Skinny Models

SilentEyz · 09-13-2006, 05:31 PM

MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- The world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modeling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other venues.

Madrid's fashion week has turned away underweight models after protests that girls and young women were trying to copy their rail-thin looks and developing eating disorders.
Organizers say they want to project an image of beauty and health, rather than a waif-like, or heroin chic look.

But Cathy Gould, of New York's Elite modeling agency, said the fashion industry was being used as a scapegoat for illnesses like anorexia and bulimia.

good for spain! I'd much rather stare at a playboy-esque model than someone who weighs less than 100lbs

truth is the fashion industry complains. They say there are going to be a lot less international women in Cibeles with these weight standars.

I have an eating disorder. I'm addicted to BJs, and by BJ I of course mean beef jerky.
