Its sad when people believe we have to have a law about everything because people don't have the common sense god gave a goose to realize that models too thin are not the norm.

Yeah... Rennaisance, etc. paintings depicted perfect women as "rounder" because they are viewed as healthier/more fertile. They probably were healthier. And probably that's still the case.

}">Remember when voluptuous models like Cindy Crawford ruled the runways? Today, sexy, curvaceous models have been replaced by anemic looking, bare bone stick figures. Yet models don’t just affect the beauty standards — they are the beauty standards. So it’s downright irresponsible to showcase skeletal girls and pretend young girls will not emulate what they see. It’s painfully clear that the fashion industry won’t fix this problem on its own ... legal regulations on the industry seem to be the only solution.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290459,00.html">When every working model is a waif it makes average women believe extreme 
skinniness is the norm, which of course it is not. The average American woman is 
5'4" and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5'11" and weighs 117 
pounds. Most fashion models are thinner than 98 percent of American women. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6A72D8F1-C983-47AC-8E5D-10B7010039ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
