Heavy women are okay. Slim women are okay. Voluptuos women are okay. Pero las super flaquitas como las modelos? Dios mio! They look so unhealthy, y tan infeliz. Pobres. I feel so sorry for them!

Me parece muy bueno. Nunca entendi eso de las modelos super flaquitas. No parecen saludables. Las curvas de la mujer son muy bellas.

First let me say how gay Dogo is.

Second, he's an ass.

Maybe the ban was imposed because of pressure from outside sources? Maybe it's a politcal move to get voter confidence? Maybe it's a question of support $$$.

I don't know how their government works. But the bottom line is always about money.

I smell something fishy.

No sorry, it's just Dogo.

ATTENTION "JULIE", THIS MESSAGE IS FROM "DOGO" !! Unfortunately, Admin is still being an a$$ and he can't post, but he can still read!

DOGO's response:

Julie, I’m not arguing whether they are normal or ABnormal. That’s a whole different thread and we would likely agree on that
But I’m arguing the fact that it’s not the government’s place to dictate what is the “ideal look” in society (Hitler ring a bell?) and I also doubt very much that runway models set societies “look” really
Since when is it the government’s job to tell us HOW or WHAT we should look like?
I think society’s “look” shapes itself, based more on our lifestyle. Not by how thin or thick a woman looks, or what they are wearing on some fifi runway in Madrid

You can’t regulate stupidity, and you can’t blame everything on the media. If some women think this is how they should look, then they probably deserve to
And how many women is it really influencing? I doubt many women think it’s the standard.
Far more “regular” women are waaay more popular than runway models (check FHM, Playboy, Maxim, sports illustrated, etc) actresses, for example. Or look at Vida Guerra, probably one of the most popular “models” in the last couple of years. She is FAR from ultra skinny
Woman are smarter than to think that ultra skinny is the “norm”, no? I don’t see many ultra skinny women around.
I think this whole thing is exclusive to the modeling/fashion bizz and probably a few weirdos that have always been around, but certainly not something that the government should be sticking its nose into

I’m sure there are faaaaar more people that think homosexuality, for example, is abnormal, should the government ban flamboyant homosexuals from the public eye too?
Should we ban “pretty” people too, now that plastic surgery is so accesible?
Or how about Mimi, do you think HE is normal? Should we ban him and send him off to a deserted island, just because of his abnormality? No! (ok, maybe)

(I’m not mad, just a discussion. Please don’t not ban me again)

Julie · Comandante

I am sorry, she is gorgeous and still a model, but you probably wouldn't want that fat cow in your bed !

Stephanie Seymour ........remember, she paused for Playboy too, this one must is the biggest cow of all.

and they are many more, all from the 80's

Extremes are bad, we already KNOW that!! No need to go banning it too!!

Bah!

This is strictly my opinion, no banning please. Thank you-- Edited by Dogo at 21:00, 2006-09-19

Ok, got your point and it's valid but as Mimi said, the skinny one are the one that set the rules in terms of fashion. o you think this is normal ? That this is the model young girls should follow or at least try too ?

Those are far from being the worst pics and you probably think that there is nothing wrong with it. Well I have a friend that became anorexic and let me tell you, it's ugly to watch and to touch.

She had a nice body before, athletic, was never over weight nor llenita and now, she doesn't llok like anything.

Industries and lifestyles and lives are based on what these models look like.

Models live that fantasy lifestyle that people want to immitate. Sadly, they set the standard for what is in-style.

I hope that makes sense.

BTW, good to see you changed your mind about leaving foro.

MiMi, just because you're a model too doesn't mean you have to keep defending your fellows anos and bullies*. You models make me sick! Sick, I tells ya!

(short for anorexics and bullimics).

A friend once theorized that the wafer model was popular because it likened the model to a prepubuscent girl. I couldn't agree or disagree because you never know with some of these freaky fashionistas.

To see a woman like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, is great!! I think curves make outfits dangerous and I find having curves is very empowering!!!

IS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U MJ. WOMAN CAN HYPNOTIZE A MAN WITH THEIR CURVES.

we can always model for baby Gap.... :giggles:

I agree with the new laws in Spain...I think the being ultra skinny trend is coming to an end... I think that more men nowadays are looking for real down-to-earth women and we understand that 26yrs and over women can't weight 40kg....

I saw this topic a couple of days ago in a news report... sooo glad Spain is doing something for those poor models.... some of them look like they haven't eat for a week (or more).... That news report showed a model who weighted herself and was 2 pounds more than the minimun was.. and she went NUTS...
