When looking sick looks beautiful

This is a MUST see for the fake beauty ideal/standard the media is selling us.

"I am really disgusted with Ralph Lauren not just for the school yard bully approach to criticism, but the photo-shopped image is really misogynist and I am not the kind of woman that is constantly beating that drum, but now SKINNY is not ....enough? We... need to lose our ribs and internal organs to be attractive? The girl looks sickly. We wonder how our daughters get such poor images of themselves when this is what company's find acceptable"

So I was listening to the Radio a few weeks ago and the reporter was talking about Ralph Lauren and his new model and a front page of a magazine with this model... Then I heard about a blog that posted some hardcore criticism on what the image of the magazine depicts and Ralph Lauren himself and how he tried to close the blog's "mouth".... Too bad for him Canadian Laws allow freedom of web-speech (if that even exists). I posted the same comment with a link from that blog and the incident on a social website I follow and I am re-posting it here as well... Just go ahead...click the link and read the blog article... Lets see what your reaction would be... :P

  1. Oh yeah...and since that the model was fired, like that would make that they did go way, idiots ! Poor girl, she was actually very beautiful and with some curves...It's she has been mulitated.

    The more we hear about changing things in the fashion industry, the scariest it gets !

    This people live in another dimension, that's very clear by the way they value such superfluous things...
