I want to see healthier women and men in advertising. As a health and nutrition consultant I am concerned about the health of our nation. We are either overweight or underweight. We need to be healthier in general. Teach our children to be healthy and respect and honor our bodies natural beauty and curves. I think there is nothing more beautiful or handsome than someone who is healthy.

I work in the stock market, but am an amateur painter. Let me tell you I actually hate the bodies of models these days. From a painting perspective they are completely without mystique. A straight line is about as interesting as a door knob.

Whereas curves let an imagination run, and let you experiment with things. In fact when I saw the picture of the women at the top of this blog entry I was enthralled to the mysteries by these women. The real sad part is that when I need pictures I have to go back to the early 1900’s…

BTW this obsession with the unimaginative extends to men as well. Men of these days are completely badly proportioned. Compare men of today to Arnold Schwarzenegger of the 1950’s 1960’s. Not the same body…

Everyone has the right to express an opinion. It’s when an unthinking populace starts flocking to “celebrity” opinion” and fashionista demands that people lose sight of the real. The fashion industry is no different than hollywood…the bottom line is making money…the means to that money has no moral conscience so expecting people like Lagerfeld and that other goof to say anything without a hidden agenda of the bottom line is absurd. Models aren’t people, in their eyes, they are commodities to help them sell their stuff.
The answer is simple yet so very difficult: stop supporting people that do not make sense; stop buying their products (including and especially the media that flog their products such as magazines and television). stop supporting any company involved with negative human standards masking as societal rules.

Think.

Young men may be interested in the thin, waify look, but most men over the age of 25 or 26 appreciate a woman who looks like a woman, not a child. I’m not sure if this relates to what women want to see in fashion magazines or not, but I do believe that women are at least somewhat influenced by what the men they are attracted to are themselves attracted to. Adding “real women” to the pages of fashion magazines seems like a logical move, as it will open up the readership to women who don’t look like children anymore. The guy making those comments is obviously not filtering his thoughts through the mind of a man, if you know what I mean.
