Ridiculous Vogue

It’s official! As many of you would know, late ‘06 sparked a controversy within the fashion industry. It seems that at one of the large fashion depots of the world, Madrid, Spain, something big happened!

Skinny models were apparently banned from the catwalk. Now you’d ask - if skinny models weren’t allowed on the catwalk, whose going to walk the walk? Well, I don’t know, but that’s not important right now (because, well, the ban didn’t exactly start a trend to ban all skinny models on every catwalk, anyways). Besides, this is old news and I’m not here to report the current affair.

What has come to my attention is the irony of all this. So now, if you’re not skinny you’re fat. And if you’re not fat, you’re automatically skinny which means you’re unhealthy, hardly eating and puking out everything that you’ve just ate, which has been presumed to be not much at all (see last point!).

Am I the only person who sees this? The idea of perfect in body shape, weight and look can never be portrayed because there is no such thing. It can never exist! The perceived “ideal” girl look would soon be overturned by some other retard’s regard to what beautiful women should look like.

It’s like going to war for the sake of peace. It’s ironic and stupid. Because we all know that war, in the hope of peace, would create devastation and the price of peace then becomes too big at the expense of those whose lives are sacrificed in the process. And then people realize the whole war for peace thing is vain.

This whole banning of skinny models in the hope of saving teenagers and young, naive women to not eat and fuel their organs and cells with energy in the hopes of looking like these models can be compared in the same light. By banning these models, it creates a discrimination to another group of people. Those that look like skin and bone because they can’t look any other way! Like people who have issues with their body, some dangerously thin people are born like this!

I’m so sure because this is exactly the case with one of my close friend, so you know I’m not bullshitting. Okay, so she’s tried eating, good things and bad. Bad, I mean absolutely crap all day. Thankfully, this has stopped but her problems live on…, in the change room - I see her staring at my body and from her eyes, I know she wishes she has breasts and butts like I, and most other chicks do. It hurts me to see her crying from being hurt by these media tycoon who spits in everybody’s face that “skinny chicks are those who are so worthless, dumb and screwed up in their head, they dont eat to make themselves look like that.”

This is a stereotype, and places a negative label on those who can’t help the way they look. People are always complaining how they cannot lose any weight, no matter who hard they’ve tried. Sure, they get featured in “inspirational” section of the magazine, the “100% real life” part of Dolly or Cosmopolitan. They get sympathy and have the label “victim” written all over them. But ironically, at the same time, labelling these victims “victim” produces issues with people who become victim due to this whole victim thing.

So WTF? Banning people? Why, did they commit a crime? Did they do something so terrible, you must strip away their entitlement of human right to pursue that (wo)man’s full potential?

BTW, I reckon wars are just the leaders way of telling the the enemy he’s got a bigger dick.
