Nem, you have a point, that cant be denied

it is apparently a requirement for nearly 6 ft tall girls to wear

a size 2, or even a size zero

but the thing that really got to me was something that i wasnt able to scan

it was the teen vogue article where ali talks about her experiences.

she says that there were maybe one or 2 models that were naturally that skinny

and later mentions that in all her runway experience, there wasnt ONE model

she knew that didnt have some type of issue with food.

just think about that. NOT ONE girl that didnt have some type of food issue

so that means that all the girls we love

and worship in the threads, all have an eating disorder

to some degree

thousands, perhaps millions of girls worship every facet of these models lives,

and a huge portion of them are making themselves SICK.

is that admirable?

i recognize that the girls must meet standards

but if the standards mean that they must make themselves

sick, lose their periods, have their hair fall out

rob their young and growing bodies of the nutrients

they need to become physically fit and happy for their future lives-----

questions need to be asked of these 'standard makers'

this trend of emaciation has only been going on for

less than 10 yrs

believe me, a 6 ft tall girl who wears a size 6 is pretty freaking

skinny.

skinny girls look just as gorgeous in haute couture

as super skinny,concentration camp looking girls.

if all the girls who are killing themselves for fashion were to walk away from the business

how many would there be to model?? i bet the modelling population would be cut by 'round 75%

if you dont see a problem with that, if you feel that 'thats how the industry works, cest la vie'

then more power to ya.but we dont have to sit by the sidelines and let things go on

business as usual-we can speak with our money--

money is the language that the industry understands

and its the only way to make a change.

i see these ridiculous unattainable standards as a way to take power away from women,

starting

with the young.

i wait for the day when slim healthy girls take back the runways

and set their own standards-not jump through hoops like little monkeys

who are willing to give up the future of their health and happiness.

sermon over :blush:

Hear hear!

:yes:

Wow I cannot believe how underrated Ali is here at Bellazon :dontgetit:! She's one of the most beautiful runway models who has great hair, luminous pale skin, stunning face, amazing thick brows, cute pout and the best nose for a female I've ever seen. The model I have on my avatar is Ali.

She's probably one of the most chill models out there and a lot has happened for her during last year coming forth about her past struggles in the industry. I love how she talks in a calming way where she is very intelligent when doing her interviews and carefully thinks about what she says plus the music she likes are simply great like Radiohead and Modest Mouse. I'm a little sad that she skipped the FW 09 season but hopefully she'll be back in their campaigns and gain more editorial work since she's getting really popular.

Anyways, she's already done a SS 09 campaign for Coach and you can check her out on their site Coach.com.

I agree! I love that she hasn't forsaken her pale skin to take up the orange spray so many models use nowadays. She's truly one of a kind.

^ Thanks so much for posting that! Ali looks really stunning and thank god it's not the typical risqué photoshoot Terry Richardson usually displays in his body of work (then again, his SS 09 campaign for Lacoste was tame too). It's very teenage adolescent but it's very cute and I think Erin also looked very charming.

I was browsing around my usual website visits and I look up an article that was recent-ish (?) from Page Six magazine and it shows a a little note about Ali being an admirer of Robert Pattinson :laugh:!

Aww I thought that was adorable and if she wants to date him, then go for it! Tid bit, he's in Vancouver Canada for a bit so you better catch him quick or many others will follow suit :rofl:!
