What's With This?!

Size 4 model, being fired for being "too fat"?!

Check this out.

This is the exact thing that promotes eating disorders! A 5'10" model that weighed 120 pounds was FIRED from Ralph Lauren because she couldn't fit into her sample clothes! That's crazy! I saw this on the news for a brief moment, but it was only a highlight of the whole segment. My exact reaction to my mom: "WHAT?! A MODEL, FIRED FOR BEING TOO FAT?!" I find this totally ridiculous! This sends a message to girls saying that they need to be even skinnier if they want to be "accepted" or "succeed".

The irony of that sentence just astonishes me.

MODEL. BEING. TOO FAT.

That's wrong.

There's a picture of her photoshopped in one of the magazine ads. Her figure doesn't even look like a natural woman figure! It actually looks a bit weird and off to me. The modeling industry is insane...
