The ideal woman?




We all know that the fashion industry excists of girls with long legs and skinny bodies. Their diet includes only salad and dietdrinks. In 2006 top model Ana Carolina Reston starved herself to death on a diet which only included apples and tomatoes. She was only 21 years old. This created a huge debate about the modelling industry, and Giorgio Armani said that he would stop producing clothes in the size XXS. Madrid and Milan also banned super skinny models from their catwalk shows.

Should the so called size zero models be the role models for young teens today? Is that a healthy? NO! The 'ideal woman' that young girls are looking up to is neither healthy or good looking, it's not nice almost looking like a skeleton! It's dangerous because young girls develope diseases like anorexia because they want to be as skinny as the models on the runway or the skinny and 'perfect' models in the glossy magazines. But let me tell you something, they are not perfect. It's called retouching!

What do you think about size zero models?
