Title: Spain bans skinny models
Post by: Foxy Brown on September 13, 2006, 08:24:16 AM

The world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modelling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other venues. (http://www.theage.com.au/news/fashion/spain-bans-skinny-models/2006/09/13/1157826985132.html)

I alread ythought that they banned too skinny models by law. But a single show is a first step.

Girls with curves >>>>>>>>> girls without curves.

Girls with curves just look healthier, and are much more attractive, IMO.

It's a really smart idea to start doing this, methinks! You can be thin and not underweight. Most models nowadays are WAAAY too skinny!

I don't care for the overly skinny models....but some women are naturally that way without the associated eating disorders that some assume are realted to their weight.
 
A lot of models are in their teens and have not developed the curves that some of the older girls have.  They would by default be impacted by this sort of regulation.
 
The probelm with this type of ban is it opens the door to sterotyping all skinny models as unhealthy and does not look at the circumstances realted to their weight.
 
When they start juding people on they way they look it opens a whole nasty can of worms.

Considering they've also banned the underaged models, that isn't quite a problem. :roll:

As for judging people by their looks.. ahem, they're, err, models :P
