2nd Journal - Masa
Beautiful, cute, ugly, skinny, fat --- all the adjectives are used to express very subjective opinions. However, a lot of people are obsessed with these adjectives even though there is a very ambiguous and blurry criterion for being beautiful and skinny. Fashion models have definitely influenced what being beautiful and skinny is. I’m taking the “Passion for Fashion” class now, and I’ve read the article saying that one of Spain’s fashion shows has decided to ban overly skinny model from being on the show. I think whoever models trying to lose weight and being on crash diet lacks professionalism. Why is being healthy not a part of being beautiful? What most models are concerned is how to keep their skinny shape. When did only being skinny start to represent beauty? Their excuses could be “well, model industry is very competitive and if I lose my shape, I’ll lose a job!” Is it worthy to be a fashion model even though they might have to suffer from anorexia or bulimia? Some models are just fine now, but nobody knows how the thing will turn out when they have excessive pressure for being skinny.

It is pity that fashion models are trying to be skinnier, even though they have already good body shapes. Especially, it's the most painful not to be able to eat favorite food, because of getting into shape, I think.
I agree, it would be nice to see ourselves free from such strong influences.
Being skinny is kind of trend for models these days. Even though they affects to make wrong standard of beauty, I think we can't blame them, because they also must be a victim of this paradigm.
You can’t change people mind because basically, “if you want be beautiful you have to be skinny” that is it.
Have you seen any fat models? Absolutely not
