It was about how they used super thin models for there layouts, and then have a story about girls who went out of there way to be thin. eating disorders, what have you. And how they said girls need to feel better about themselves. I basically called them hypocrites(It was so long ago, so I can only recall bits and pieces)And they published it! I also believe in the same issue that my letter was in, there was a spread that had thin and plus sized models. -wishes she still had that mag-

Ergh. That kills me. I see a picture of a girl whose worked her butt off to get and keep a small figure and then I go puke and somehow I get to blame the magazine? Come on. |
i'm so relieved you never had the fragile self-esteem so many teenage girls have, MT. the point isn't how hard the model does or does not work to maintain such a figure. the point is that NOBODY needs to be that thin, for any reason. clothes look just as good, often BETTER, on a woman with curves than on some of these walking toothpicks magazines like to feature.
