Don't we need to keep supporting the use of real women as models in fashion magazines?
I have been so glad to finally see women in bra and panties that look like real women, not scarecrows in Victoria's Secret.

Dispite all your previous answers received, i agree with your question! We do need more realistic role models as a society, and it was great to hear on the news that a mainstream fashion show in Italy was turning away stick thin models who were under weight for their height!!Dont get me wrong on this please, fashion does need a clothes horse of some sort but not to the detriment of the impressionable younger female generation!
not unless you want sales to drop..
Yes.
Did I hear today that someone has banned models with a body mass index of less than <some>?
The media portrayal of underweight people as desirable is ridiculous.
(This is UK answers? anything that encourages the average american to diet has got to be a good thing)
i do think that we should continue to use these models. They make me feel great to know that someone else isnt perfect and is still comfortable with who they are. I think that more places should it like that.
No. We need to keep the integrity of standards, whether it's beauty, intelligence, athletics etc. In fashion magazines, the standard is beauty, therefore, we should have the best looking women.
skrew real women
I want to be pretty and look nice.
fat chicks arent nice.
Totally agree.
I just asked opinions yesterday on celbs having their photos airbrushed. to seem flawless.
I think they need to be real, so more people will not feel like they need to have this superior figure and image.
It's great to see "real" women showing what beauty really is.
Skinny women are real people also.
I agree, but unfortunately it is kind of a psychological thing with women.if they see these women that look gorgeous in these magazines, they will think they might look the same in these clothes(ie:lingerie, etc.) or at least they will feel like they look that sexy.Just my little oppinion
I don't think the Victoria's Secrets models look like scarecrows. They look great and I think they show off the undergarments very well too. If models can't look good in things then I don't think Jane Q. Public will want to buy them.
Whats wrong with scarecrows wearing underwear? Thin people need underwear too!
I guess when people see stick-thin models in magazines they somehow think that if they buy clothing from that certain clothing line, they too will look like that in the specific article of cloth. This is why magazines, etc. continue using these unrealistic models for their ad's. I think that if they would use real women in their magazines or clothing ad's it would help many individuals achieve a higher confidence level as they will see not everyone is perfect. I'm sure many eating disorders could be prevented as well this way.
Yes, like Dove does.
However, it's our fault because we buy into the image of the "perfect" body and put such people on a pedestal and put pressure on ourselves.
So I suggest we do not buy these fashion magazines with stick insects in them.
No let's keep these skinny women with great boobs on the magz any way they are everyones ideal and we just need to toughen up and deal with the raising rates of depression and bulimia at yonger and youger ages affecting women AND men..who cares? As long it keeps making $$$ for the advertisers right?
Real women has been getting much fatter this generation the previous generations. I'm sure showing women that it's OK to be fat will only encourage them to get fatter.
yes, we need to see more healthy girls in fashion and mags. healthy doesnt mean fat! healthy means a nautral size for that person. yes alot of people are nautrally really thin, but most arnt. in my opinion models sized 8-10 have the best figures, it dosnt look nice when models are showing bikinis and the bikini bottoms arnt even toughing there stomachs becuz there hip bones stick out so far.
We should actually have a wider variety of women as models and focus more on fashion that actually works for them, skinny, big or whatever.
I completely agree. Well done to Dove or their 'Campaign for Real Beauty'.
You know all those paintings by the old Italian masters where all the women were pot-bellied? Well, that's what was considered 'sexy' at the time. It showed a woman was well nourished. I believe, in time, probably a long time though, judging by todays men, that men will come to appreciate the full-figured woman again.
I ain't skinny, but dammit I've a good *** and great boobs. I'm engaged and my fiance loves my body. I wish more men were like him, then there wouldn't be this epidemic of bad-body-image.
I love the Dove adverts as they use real women with lumps and bumps.
Agreed, those stick thin models are in a minority,there are not that many girls who look like that in real life, and will NEVER look like they do even if they dieted forever. I am sick of hearing people always saying they are on a diet, when they look perfectly normal. People just want to look like lolly pop sticks with heads on. This is such a dangerous view as severe dieting can lead to infertility, the whole human race will be wiped out because girls will all be too thin to have kids. Those skinny girls look like freaks, with big long gangly arms and legs and all their ribs sticking out, and I am not a fat chick who is jealous, I wear kids clothes, but that's only coz I am short, I have curves where a girl should have curves.
