I just posted something about this a few days ago about how Ralph Lauren and company realized they were at fault for letting such a horribly photo shopped image make its way out into the public. Now we find out the model who they purposely emaciated via photo shop got fired because she was a size 4???!!!! I used to work at a modeling agency so this is something that hits deep with me. It's been about 7 years since I've been in the industry and it seems like the sample sizes have become A LOT smaller than they were back in '02. A sample size 4 today could actually be a 2 or a 0! It's just infuriating that this is still going on when "supposedly" fashion magazines are encouraging healthier sizes.

It is an outrage, Deens! Especially because after they admitted their "mistake" more photos of models just as thin were found in their ads.
ReplyDeleteIn retaliation to Ralph Lauren and the modeling world, I plan on eating a shit load today and not throwing it up. Then, when I'm done, I will sit and rub my fat belly with a smile on my face that is punctuated by a second chin.
Take that skinny bitches!
Oh, and good looking out on the Forever21report. Now I will know when I should go and when to stay home.
