@GTCosita:
33.5 inches for a guy isn't that fat, even if he's like 5'7 or 5'8 (I think that's about average height for a Japanese man)...but then again, the ideal over there is really young looking, for both guys and girls. The stereotypical YOUNG Japanese urban professional male is very, very metro looking from what I've…
@tscheese:
Why are celebs getting married and having babies so young?
@funnyface: I was using size 8 as an example as I think size 8 is generally a very healthy "slim" size for taller women. Of course, designers could also be using 5'5" size 6 models too. The fact is, designers will always only make one sample size for their line. They just aren't going to make some things in a 2,…
An older friend of mine once told me not to read Blubber or Are You There God. She said that both books were dirty. I read them anyway. In fact, my MOM got me Blubber.
I'm sorry, but the only way things can change is if the designers change. Only if they start making size 8 sample sizes and demand size 8 models, would we see healthier bodies on the runways. As for Anna Wintour not liking it, well, if all the designers use larger girls, Anna will either have to not use any models…
on Paul......I thought he was a strict vegan too! Has he loosened up?
@J.D.Regent: But is she a REAL blonde?
@ineffable.me: Besides Giselle and maybe a few others, the supermodel is dead, anyway. And that Brazilian girl is ugly.
There was kiddie cosmetics back in the 80s when I was a girl too, but it was mostly lotions and stuff like that...and also for a 10-12 market (i.e. too young to wear the real thing), not the 6-9 market. Even then, my mom the only products my mom allowed me to play with were Bonne Bell's Lipsmackers!
@hortense:
A proper southern belle does not congratulate someone when that person announces that she is engaged. She wishes her the best.
@Elin:
Sad to hear that these girls think 24 and single = Old Maid. I won't consider myself an Old Maid until I'm 40 and unmarried. I decided a couple of years ago that if I'm not married by the time I'm 40, I'll still become a parent and adopt a baby from somewhere.
@roodles: I can understand eye and nose jobs, as well as hair colour, but I can't when it comes to skin colour. Even if the media weren't so powerful, you'd still see beauty products that promise to lighten skin.
@roodles:
@roodles: I don't understand how colonialism/imperialism has anything to do with it. There would be skin colour issues in India whether Britain was there or not.
