I think not.
Most definitely not. She should be sectioned and force fed before she dies of malnutrition.

I hope I have not missed your point Slinky. Am I correct in thinking it is all about labeling people based on their size (and probably other aspects as well)?

Oh well I guess I'm out of the question then
From the above post Slinky, I would say that you are very much what Gayle is looking for. I took Gayle's post to mean she wanting anybody and everybody, just your average walking around town person. She said she did not want Milan type models, by that I thought she meant like the pictures posted above.
After all if you went to a fashion show would you not want to see clothes on someone like yourself, if not, how can you know what they would look like on yourself?
