Banning Size Zero - US Considers
US Considers "The Beauty of Health"
1,680 Views - Click for Larger Image

The Council for Fashion Designers of America may have gotten a wakeup call from Europe, where some governments are banning very, very thin models, the size zero. At London Fashion Week a model was actually told she was too thin and would not be allowed to model. The CFDA will host a panel discussion called “The Beauty of Health” at an upcoming confab. Ali Michael, a former anorexic who was turned down for being too fat, will be on the panel. It’s been a long time coming, but it appears the U.S. fashion biz will get involved before the government does.

It is about time. If these women didn't take a shower for a few days, put make up on, or do their hair and wear some torn clothes we be pledging our money to help them thinking they came from a third world country. The US should adopt the European sizing standard too. The clothing manufacturers play mind games with women... if we actually had a measurement as a size it could not be changed. It would be tried and true. Kudos to the Euros!

Seriously, thank god! I was so tired of watching these stick figures. I really hope this message is not just a trend, but a completely new and permanent fixture of the fashion world.
