Hi,

It’s been a long time. If you hadn’t revealed the source, this could easily have been mistaken for Mars viewed through a telescope..he..he.

I think they shud keep tha thin models on tha catwalk its true they look good and the clothes fall nicely on them . wen i see a bigger sized model it does not look right no offence but it looks stupied and yuck . its always been thin and it shud stay that way.

KEEP THA THIN MODELS ON THA RUNWAY !!!!!!

i will be upset if it changes .

i think it is just as mean to talk badly about skinny models (or women) as it would be to talk badly about overweight models (or women). i happen to be a very skinny woman, and have been my entire life. i’m 5’11” and the most i have ever weighed is 137 lbs- that was huge for me! i eat all the time, love to cook, and love to eat, but i have an incredibly fast metabolism and so i can almost never gain weight. i modelled for a while, and i find it hurtful to talk about all skinny women as if they have some kind of defect and/or eating disorder. there ARE many women in the world who are just naturally very, VERY thin. we shouldn’t be made to feel any less attractive to men than any other woman, in the same sense that overweight women should not be made to feel unattractive for their size. we all have different body types; let’s just accept each of us as we are!

Most companies are so obsessed about cost cutting and keeping up their profts. Therefore they do not like to employee graduates since they are well aware with the fact that they need to be paid more. Most companies have failed to realize that, it is not the company itself that makes the profit, but the people who are employed in the company. The important asset of any company is the people and not the profits itself. Without the human element, companies will not exist.

Also, I would like to highlight how females are treated in some companies. Some companies don’t like to hire females because it is an additional cost to the company. (i.e have to provide transport after a certain time for them to go home etc etc..). Sometimes they are being denied of pay rises and promotions just because they don’t bow down to the demands of the management. These are only two elements of how females are treated in certain companies.

I just had dinner a short while ago, but what the hell, I feel a ravening burning feeling in my stomach with all its juices churning in agitation, radiating to my brain its unhappiness at not having this juicy luscious morsel of fish in its loving tender digesting grasp. That is some photography man, gave my stomach eyes. Now, I gotta eat something or it will give me indigestion or something in retaliation for not giving it this lovely fish..

Regards

I’m really glad they are starting to ban unhealthily skinny models, because I think it shows a very bad example to us teenagers.
I am 15 and I have a friend the same age who thinks she is fat and wants to be like the models she sees in the magazines, but the problem is she is perfect the way she is, she is really slim! and it makes me sad to see her get upset about her weight for no reason!
Also I am 5 ft 10 and slim, I would like to be a model but I think I am to big compared to the very skinny models I see on the catwalk and I’m only a size 8/10!

So I’m all the way for bigger models!
GO SIZE 10! WOOOO! LOL

Heya–

Yeah that was a great episode. To add to it, Alissa there is a friend of mine (I even am using the camera body she used to use before getting a nice upgrade). I was surprised to see her there and am fond of the work she’s doing.

Best,

Sean
