You Have Got To Be Effin Kidding Me!

Does Ralph Lauren really think this is what women/girls should look like? Seriously?! As a person who has struggled with weight issues, I just can't believe a major company is putting this image out there. Ok first of all, this has got to be photoshopped. If it isn't than this model needs to be hospitalized for some therapy and a damn sandwitch.

I am all about putting out healthy examples of women out there. Fat is not fabulous. Fat is unhealthy. Period. As a nurse, I understand the medical risk being overweight carries with it. I am a fatty. Not that I like it, but that is what I am. With that being said, I also understand how hard it is to loose the weight put have on for one reason or another. Hello, I have been on this roller coaster for all my adult life. One of the reasons I named this blog under construction is because I am always working on my body.

Ok so that is my disclaimer. Back to the point. Looking at this picture, and oh by the way there is another photo, this girl doesn't look human. Who's head is that big in comparison to their body? Are those arms or twigs? The width of her hips looks smaller than her head. Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't have a teenage girl. When Kate looked at this she said, "Why does she look like an alien?" I am blessed with a very self confident daughter. I wish I had been a little more like Kate. My teenage years were spent looking at Brook Sheilds and making my self throw up.

Now, as I said before being fat is unhealthy. Ok so being too skinny is also unhealthy. Anorexia and bulemia along with everything new that the girls seem to come up with these days. What I don't understand is that this model is 5-10 and 12olbs. Hey Ralph is that not thin enough? This model is beautiful so... why? I get not wanting to use fatties for advertising. Hell everyone wants to look like the models in those clothes. Even if we don't, we still want to think the clothes make us look like the models.

Just look at the REAL picture of the model and tell me what could possibley be so unattractive about her? Ralph....... hello, I ask a question? I'm waiting......
