Fuck the modeling industry. It's nothing but a destructive and superficial waste to society which causes nothing but pain, jealousy, misery, and vanity.I much rather see real pictures of real people than some 2-bit photoshopped whore.

That's a pretty strong opinion to have regarding something that doesn't really affect you directly.

They are the ones telling everyone how they should look and to the harm of many.Here is an article that has info on the thinning of modelshttp://www.wisegeek.com/why-are-fashion-models-so-thin.htm Here is one on a model who died from anorexiahttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/20/world/americas/20iht-models.3604439.html Another on models and eating disorders http://americathebeautifuldoc.com/2009/10/26/eating-disorders-among-fashion-models-rising/While there are some that may be naturally thin I feel most are not. Showing women of all sizes would be a good thing in my opinion.
Well, I just have to state my comment. My daughter also is a model, and could have been very successful. She was signed with top agencies around the world, however she has quit all this because of the constant pressure to stay thin. She has traveled all over the world and seen girls who starve themselves to stay thin. Most models are not naturally thin; they are pressured to stay that way. My daughter was the smart one to say, "You know what? It's not worth it!" She is 5ft 10 and was told to keep her weight around 110 pounds. She is now 125 wears a size 4 and is happy! And believe it or not, she is too big for New York and the likes. So don't tell me that the modeling industry is not to blame for models dying or committing suicide because of that pressure to stay a size 0 as they mature.
I have no empathy for models who die of starvation, just to keep themselves thin. They could have at least pursued an actual career instead of trying to get an easy way out with their "looks". Bitches.
