Ban on skinny models

MADRID. (Reuters) - The world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modeling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other catwalk pageants.

Re: Ban on skinny models

WTH? Most models should be thin, but not emaciated...big difference. I would assume that most men want something that looks like a woman, not a skeleton with a spray tan .

And no, I'm not saying that only thin women are beautiful either.

Re: Ban on skinny models

How about banning disguisting looking women? That's not skinny, that's sickly and not attractive at all. A REAL MAN needs some ***.

Re: Ban on skinny models

Wow. That's a BMI of 28 - overweight.

Models are NOT 5'4" BTW. Most have to be like 5'9". So..... that puts a 5'9" model at 105lbs with a BMI of 16.

Re: Ban on skinny models

It was on a CNN report. I don't think they were talking about models themselves.
