I wouldn't mind so much if it was actually perfect but this image we are faced with isn't perfect it's unrealistic and abnormal.

I just showed 2 images to my daughters and asked for opinions. The first was that back view of a spine and ribs with a few bits of cloth draped across them. Don't tell me there's anyone in Accy who looks like that so why do we have models who look like that? The response was "yeeeeeeee-uew!" and "OH MY GOSH!"

The second was of Jen from the website in that link. The response was "She's nice and slim."

When I told them that she had been told to lose weight because she's too fat to be a model Mimi said "You're kidding! She ain't fat. She's slim!" (I'd have preferred her to have said "isn't"

) Emz just said "Flip!"
