Sorry, I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago and it totally slipped through the cracks. At a fashion show in Spain two weeks ago a number of models were rejected for being too thin. Finally.

I meant to post a long time ago on the fact that the winner of Canada's Next Top Model seemed to be displaying symptoms of anorexia: I only watched one episode of the show, and on it the judges chastised the girl who eventually won for having hairy arms. They pointed to her picture and said, "What's with all this weird hair?" She explained that she thought it had grown becuase she was so cold on set. But it's a somewhat common symptom of anorexia to grow fine hairs all over your body. I was shocked that
a) no one in an industry fuelled by body image disorders could identify that, and
b) they instead asked her to shave it, and later awarded her the big title for so effectively embodying the female physical ideal.

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
