Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

Me too. Weight just will not go to my arms or legs and so I never wear shorts or skirts. Still, my pants are always too tight in the waste if I don’t want to swim in the legs.

I completely get you :< I was on the opposite end of things, tall and chubby and super pale and ackward and just not fitting in and even now when I look at clothes I always think of how others will see me in them, but I constantly have to remind myself that it doesn’t matter.

Thanks, I’m definitely trying to understand it from a layered point of view, because a lot of it is filtering back these racist Western tropes/stereotypes through a different perspective that I don’t fully get, but are definitely interesting if you think about them sort of making the USA grapple with how “cool” is…

life boo G-Dragon

I have short legs, so they’re not thin like this woman’s (she probably has ten more inches of leg than I do) but I wear crop tops constantly and you can play the xylophone on my ribs because fuck every one who thinks my body is their business.

Fuck those guys! People will comment on how others look no matter what size they are! Wear what you like and what makes you feel comfortable!
It’s funny though because while clothes are modeled by ubber tall lithe girls, I don’t actually know who they’re made for seeing as they only seem to fit a very narrow amount of…

Take a quick glance at the image, and you don’t even notice the chest. It’s the legs.

No kidding. Especially when we don’t even know how much that one picture was retouched.

Health At Every Size rules apparently don’t apply to anyone under a size 12.

NAH! People DO look like this! Pay no mind to the body snarking haters! I have a few friends who also look like this. And they are incredibly strong and healthy women. Everybody looks diff. Unfortunately that is part of the problem with these ads. Sure people look like this, but not ALL of us look like this. And some…

Yeah, because you can TOTALLY tell how healthy a person is by looking at one picture. Yes, chick is thin. But shitttttttttttt.

It only took three minutes for a Holocaust comment to come up after this was published. And four for someone to call her a skeleton.

There should be a place for women of all sizes in modeling, even women with body extremes (as Kiki is an example of) if only to show the different ways that humans can be built.

Okay I need to say this because some of these comments are making me feel weird.

I understand the idea behind the movement - to decrease the focus on being extremely thin as being the only way to fashionable and attractive - but I don’t like the assumption that there is something wrong with a thin model, that to be that thin she absolutely must have an eating disorder or substance abuse problem.…

While I totally agree with you, being the plump person of a naturally thin mother who was (big sad sigh) always trying to gain some weight I will say that using (used to be) only unnaturally thin models (most live on nothing a day, this is public record) and rarely just average (or even a little under) sized models is…

I mean, she’s 18 years old and like six feet tall. It’s entirely possible she eats well and is perfectly healthy. She’s basically still a girl, and six-foot beanpole teenagers are not unheard of. Maybe we should ask why $1200 shoes and $4000 dresses that almost no teenager can afford need to be modeled by teenagers,…

Wow. Fantastic baby.
