Re: Portrayal of women: (split)
Right, so on the actual subject of this thread can I please ask if you, Slinky, think this looks attractive?

This is what I preume Gayle doesn't want in her fashion show and what she was saying no-one needs to look like to be in the fashion show because she needs real people with real normal bodies of whatever various shapes and sizes, but NORMAL.
You'd have to serously crash diet to look like that!
The above image is what Garinda meant by "stick thin annorexic". No-one at any time ever implied that they thought you or any other AccyWebber is a stick thin annorexic. Someone who starves themselves in order to look like the person in that photograph (because that image has been portrayed as ideal on the catwalk) in my opinion does need help because no way is it natural to harm your body in order to acheive that.
Back in the 60s (you're too young to remember) there was a famous model by the name of Twiggy. She called herself Twiggy because she was slim. She described herself as thin as a twig. By Kate Moss standards however she would probably been seen a slightly plump! That's how mad things got. People tried to emulate Twiggy because she was the icon of the day - then they tried to outdo her, then it got stupid.
