Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Claudia Schiffer says that models have become too skinny to be attractive, the Associated Press reports. "It doesn’t really look good any more," the 36-year-old says in an interview with Germany’s Bunte magazine. "Fashion looks good on thin models, but when you look at today’s models you can not help but think there is something wrong. They are way too thin. It is only bones that stick out." "Models have always been thin. But today, they are even thinner, which is unbelievable," said Schiffer, who has been on the cover of more than 550 magazines during her career. Schiffer said she was on the heavy side when she began modeling in 1988. "I was one of the fattest when I started," said Schiffer, who according to a German magazine website "Modellkartei" nevertheless has a BMI of just under 18. The Web site lists Schiffer as 5’11” and weighing 128 pounds. "Ever since I started having children, I can eat whatever I want. I eat chocolate almost every day and drink whole milk so that I don’t lose any more (weight)," said Schiffer, who has a daughter, Clementine, who turns 2 in November, and a son Caspar, 3, with her husband Matthew Vaughn. "When media started writing that I looked too thin and ill, I went to the doctor. He said I was healthy," she said. "I didn’t gain weight after the pregnancies. I hope it stays like that."

Hopefully as more models and fashion designers say that models are too thin, the better the chance the too thin trend will end.

Me on the Big Story  I just recently appeared on The Fox News Channel’s Big Story. I gave my opinion on the CRISIS that has been going on in the fashion world AND the entertainment industry. Woman are starving themselves to the point of what looks like near death. I have heard some fashionistas are blaming how thin they are on how young they are. If this is the case, then we need to regulate and unionize this industry!  Every other industry that involves CHILDREN is regulated by the goverment, why not this one? Is fashion important enough that we will torture and starve beautiful women just to please it? I cannot even tell you how many times I have been asked to lose weight by my old agency. I am skinny as hell! I was told that my muscles were fat. What is so appealing about skeletal women? Correct me if I am wrong, but most of the greatest Supermodels to date were WOMANLY. They have/had curves! When I would go on go and see’s, I would try to shove my "fat ass" into clothes that couldn’t even fit a 11 year old! I am 5′10 1/2 and 134 pounds. My waist is 25 inches, hips 35, bust 34. THIS is what the fashion world sees as too big. Now it’s spreading to entertainment, and real life. We as a nation nee to rise up and make this stop. Thanks for reading my rant! Sadly, the fashion world is littered with problems. I hope the goverment will step in and make sure that they crack down on them.

On another note, Chrissy and I have been out house hunting. We want to get a bigger place, get a puppy, ect. It’s been fun. The real estate market is crashing. We may keep our home now and rent it out. We will see. Anyway, I am off to see wat I have on my tivo.  I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Good for her! She is so right!  

Designer Giorgio Armani has blamed stylists and the media for the fashion industry’s obsession with ultra-thin women. In London to host a music and fashion extravaganza with stars Beyonce, 50 Cent and Bono, Armani said no girl needed to be anorexic to be fashionable. A debate about models’ weight has shaken the fashion world in recent days since Madrid banned excessively thin women from its catwalks after accusations their appearance may cause eating disorders in young women. "I have never wanted to use girls that are too skinny. I prefer girls that show off my clothes in the best way," Armani told Reuters Television after the show late on Thursday. "Unfortunately though, the stylists and also the media have interfered and they now want models that are incredibly thin." Armani, whose client list spans Hollywood to high finance, is a bellwether for the industry and the most powerful fashion insider yet to speak out on the weight debate. "No one thinks that for a girl to be fashionable she needs to be anorexic, that she must not eat. I will only take on healthy girls," he said. Armani made the comments on the red carpet of one of the most anticipated events of the fashion calendar and the hottest ticket of this week’s London Fashion Week. Before rock stars and actors, the 72-year-old designer hosted a three-hour show and launched a new fashion collection in support of (PRODUCT) RED, an activism venture of U2 rock star Bono aimed at raising funds to fight AIDS in Africa.

Good for him and if we can more top designers to say stuff like that maybe others will follow suit. 

Designer Michael Kors is heading a new trend in fashion – refusing to work with super-skinny models. The American fashion guru admits he’s sick of seeing unhealthy, waif-like girls on the catwalk and snubs anyone who looks unnaturally thin. He says, "Thin is fine but it has to be healthy. When I see a model come in and I look and I can tell this is not naturally how they’re supposed to look, we don’t book them." Kors has been joined by the organizers of the Madrid Fashion Week in Spain, which begins next week – they’ve insisted all catwalk models taking part pass a body mass index test. In the test, models must pass 18 on a scale based on their height and weight. One model who has been told to stay away from Madrid is superthin catwalk star Fabiana. She says, "I can’t go because I’m too skinny for them."
