    I agree it is sad and it is a mental problem ., but this is very old news Fara7., I think she died in 2010.,   In fact  Isabelle Caro is an example for Medical students teaching anorexia/eating disorder problems..

    Despite her obviously frail physique she said she had never once been told by a modelling agency to put on weight.


    ^^ This is so true.

    Only 1 very very close friend has ever said to me that I need to put on a bit of weight, and that in itself makes me feel that inspite of being 2 1/2 stone underweight, I'm where I should be. 

    Instead of criticism, I get praise.  I get people asking me how to lose weight, how can they starve themselves for a short while just to squeeze into that dress.  What tricks did I use, how to maintain it.

    When I become dangerously thin, and I posted on fb the new dress size I had reached I had untold congratulations. Not one person I knew, who knew me at that time, who knew my bone structure and height.  Not one of them said "I don't really think that would look right on you"

    Part of me feels the only reason my best friend even tells me to gain weight is because she knows how much it drove me to have people compliment me.

    I read this article the other day on facebook.  At the time I read it, I didn't want to end up like her and yet by the end of the day, I had only eaten one small baguette, no butter or spread.  Just every couple of hours I took a piece off of it and nibbled it to keep me going.

    I don't want to end up like her, and yet......I still don't eat.
    Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

    I do feel sorry for anyone suffering from anorexia but the people who piss me off the most are those who do the congratulating of extreme thinness etc, and those who strive to be a stupid size zero or whatever and emulate thin, gaunt super models.  Pathetic idiots.  finmad

    >>>>>I just don't understand that.,<<<<<

    >>>>>Urm...what? Why?<<<<<<<

    I am presuming this is asking for clarification of my assertion that gay fashion designers are being blamed by some quarters. Here is an article by Amanda Platell that lays a good case imo.

    >>>>>How did we ever get to the stage where we allowed a small group of designers — however talented — to determine that this is what is beautiful in a woman?
    So step by step the elite of mostly gay designers has been creating catwalk designs for pre-pubescent teenagers, and each year wanting models who looked less and less like women.<<<<

    Also, if I might add, I think it's preposterous to say that being gay has anything to do with this. At all.

    In response to Solara question as to how being gay can be responsible

    Older men have dirtier minds. Lol. Have you read how Amanda Platell advocates the assertion that gay fashion designers are culpable for the androgynous look of females on the catwalk. I think if it was straight men in control the women would be more curvier and wholesome, (like they appear in most other parts of the visual media) than having the bodies of young boys, albeit tall ones.

    If by "gayism" you mean homosexuality, you should realize that there is numerous evidence showing that this is inborn and rather natural in the animal kingdom. Not to mention there is nothing wrong with consenting adults doing as they please sexually in the privacy of their own homes, regardless of gender.

    Also, weirdness in the fashion world exists, certainly. But I don't believe it has anything to do with the designers being gay. I think it has more to do with them just being a bit fucked in the head.  parrot

     fucked in the head is a good one., I understand evolution and animal kingdom quite well  but we don't want human being to behave like animals do we dear Solara??

    That is a good point "there is nothing wrong with consenting adults doing as they please sexually in the privacy of their own homes, regardless of gender."  but two points we need to explore a bit more..

    1). Privacy of their homes., and 2) this age /consenting adult thing

    What age group would you  consider for this Gay consenting adult thing?  I would like to push that too as high as 35 for both sexes ., would that be OK with you.,

    Well now you're being a pedant. The age sexual of maturity is a grey area, sure, but let's not fool ourselves. We know what a child is, and we know what an adult is.

The fashion industry has as many women as men, possibly more, and a ton of heteros. Hetero women like Anna Wintour and hetero men like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. But hey, let's all blame Teh Evil Gayz for all the problems of the world any way we can.

    As for pedophilia, way to go promoting really outdated myths about gay men that the Abrahamic religions had conditioned us all to believe in, even after we have supposedly shed those dogmas.

    Because you live in a "free society". The rest of us have to listen to the whines and conspiracy theories of bigots... similarly you have to deal with sometimes coming across things you don't like. You can always just limit your time online or watching/listening to media.

    Well, I know lots of very happy, well adjusted, self aware and empowered LGBT people. What you were advocating above is forced medical interventions to "cure" gay people. That's been tried before and it does not work, not to mention, there is nothing to cure but the bigotry of people who can not deal with their own sexuality so want to impose their bigotry on others. You also insinuated that gay men are pedophiles. This is a blatant form of bigotry as pointed out in the research piece I posted in response. Besides, most child abusers do heterosexual acts with children... so what do you propose we do to straight men to "cure" them?
