Safety pins

Although whilst I think this is a good thing, I think its dreadfully sad that it has to be implemented in the first place.
Although I was pleased to read that the people dismissing the models were advising them to seek medical help. I just hope they do it in a constructive and sesitive way, as loosing something youve worked hard for(a modelling career) because of something most of these women have probably worked even harder for (an unaturally low weight) must be incredibly messing with the head, and could have quite serious consequences to their mental wellbeing.

Maybe I'm being over dramatic. Also whilst it is good that these models are being told to seek help, it still concerns me that just as many, if not more, beautiful women are told they are 'fat' by the modelling industry, and there's certainly nothing constructive or sesitive about that one, thus runing confidence and any sense of self worth and potentially sparking on more serious problems.

I Just felt I should post on this. And I also think that if this is being implemented, then Jane Norman should get real sized mannequins. The size 6/8 clothes that are put on them are saftey pinned at the back of the mannequins as they are too big. And 13 year old girls shop in there and wonder why the clothes don't look as good on them as on the plastic doll in the window.

Conclusion: Inconclusive.
