Sensible Spanish: Banning Too Thin Models from Catwalks

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Sensible Spanish: Banning Too Thin Models from Catwalks

[I like this. I think it is good. My oldest sister was an annorexic all her life. It ruined her marriage, ruined her health and she died at the age of 56. Frankly, as a man, I find many of the modern models actually downright ugly. I don’t know how or why the fashion industry insists on these women being so incredibly skeletal. I would have thought they’d like to see some curves and shape to their designs? The logic behind this industry standard is beyond me. But these women are NOT good role models for young women. I still think that the most beautiful women on earth are living pretty normal lives. You will not find them in Hollywood, you won’t find them on catwalks. They are secretaries, wives, etc. They are extremely beautiful, dress with style and many of them are far more attractive than many of these women in Hollywood. When I first came to S.Africa, I was very impressed with Afrikaans women. Afrikaans women are often more feminine than their english counter-parts. Femininity in women hardly exists any more – sadly – and I think most men miss it. Jan]

MADRID (AFP) – Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

Madrid’s regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year’s show because they weigh too little.

The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation to come up with a minumum body mass — a height-weight ratio — of 18 for the models.

Spanish daily ABC said it was the first time such restrictions had been imposed on a fashion show, although a recent wedding dress exhibition in Barcelona banned fashion models who took a dress size below 38 (British size 10, US size eight).

Several models at last year’s show provoked a row when they claimed their careers would be under threat if they put on weight.

Organisers said they wanted to “help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered … as a mental and behavioural problem”.

The event will take place on September 18-22.
