If you were re-ferring to my opinion, then sorry if you felt offended by it, but as someone coming from that background, and having personally known people who have been anorexic i think i know what im talking about.

Anorexia is a complex syndrome, it can't be blamed on the media. I think what makes it occur is in our culture.

Models mirror our ideals, they don't create them.

I also know people who have been anorexic, and I used to be myself. I think I know what I'm talking about.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

Do you honestly think that I would be involved in this business if I knew by getting my pictures taken and appearing in magazines/adverts etc were going to "make" girls have eating disorders?!?!?! You must be insane. Ask any model if they are doing what they are doing so they can intentionally create self esteem problems for young girls, they would answer no. You can't blame someones eating disorder on somebody else. Its a personal problem that can only be resolved within themselves.

Well, if Eva really is anorexic....then she does think she looks bad....only not for the same reasons that we think she looks bad.
Some sort of chemical imbalance happens in the brain of anorexics that keeps them from seeing themselves as they truly are. They see themselves as fat or bigger than they are in reality.

I totally agree, perhaps i have got this wrong,and am big enough to say this.

I never said the media forces anyone to become slim or skinny,but the media is partly responsible for the negative images that are sent out in public, and this does have an impact on readers, especially younger ones.

No i don't think its intentional. I dont think all those models were all born thin.

Who puts pressure on the models to be that thin?



Eva was great when she was glamour modelling, she had a fantastic shape. I don't think the public would have objected at all if she did runway modelling with her curvy figure. Look at the shocking change that has occured. I know she said she was ill, but i have been hearing and seeing pictures of her being ill looking and thin for a little while now.

I can't see how anyone can say the media is not to blame. Educate me differently please.

Their agencies. Their agencies just don't pull it out of no where, though. A client must have called a commented about the models weight/measurements and their agent obviously wants them to work. So,they ask them to lose weight, or take down their measurements. Or while at a casting, a client will tell you straight up you aren't the right size.

I've watched the entire chanel show and I saw her backstage too and she looks better. She looks better in motion than in still pictures though.

Great to hear that! I thought she looked better judging by those pics.. Her legs look less skinny, thank God.

she colored her hair???

 

[kate]

Oh no! She does not look good! I do not like the hair color on her.

 

[leyla m.]

personally i am happy she changed her hair. in my eyes, she looks much healthier this way.

 

[Fashion Fanatic]

She looks excellent

 

[Nemova]

I love the hair, but, IMO, she still looks ill... I thought she was better by looking another pic, but this one has changed my mind.
