England Bans Baby Models
Models under the age of 16 will no longer be allowed to walk the runways during London Fashion Week or participate in photoshoots according to UK's The Guardian.

However, fashion bosses have decided not to ban 'size zero' models, who have sparked accusations that those, particularly the young, who seek to emulate them end up with eating disorders.

This is an interesting compromise, and honestly, I think it's a misguided one. Young models are not necessarily unhealthy. Many of the greats like Naomi, Tyra, Lily, and Kate got their starts as young models and they all seem healthy. (I'm talking physical here not mental) It remains to be seen what effect this ban will have on the international fashion community.

I'm an Addict
I am a certified America's Next Top Model fiend.I love Tyra's drag queenisms, as any true ANTM junkie knows, the best episode in the entire season is the makeover episode. Now that cycle 8 is over, I'm missing my ANTM fix. Fortunately, I found this clip from the makeover episode of Canada's Next Top Model. Rebecca's cut is my absolute favorite; of course she cried about it. Oh it never gets old!

I love the classics
Cindy Crawford is the quintessential all-American girl. She was once one of America's premiere super models. She was sporting that iconic mole way before SJP, and she was the first host of MTV foray into fashion, House of Style. Last month she turned 41, but she still looks smoking hot in this months issue of German Vogue. Talk about picture perfect.

Honey, You're Just Paid to Pose
Uber hot supermodel, Giselle Bundchen, has unfortunately decided to weigh in on the anorexia debate. The former flame of Leo Dicaprio (wow, how'd she screw that one up?) is blaming parents for the rise of eating disorders.

I never suffered from this problem (anorexia) because I had a very strong family base. Parents are responsible, not the fashion industry,"

Someone wasn't doing their job when they let Giselle open her mouth and spew this foolishness. It has been proven that the fashion industry perpetuates unachievable standards of beauty. Not to say that rail thin models are inherently evil, but the fact of the matter is that the general population is affected by these images. We salute any attempt to dispel these myths like Dove's campaign for real beauty. I'm sure you've seen this commercial before, but it wouldn't hurt to post it again.
