I wrote about this "fashion show" earlier this week and hold a similar point of view. http://balancingontwofeet.com/2011/11/30/what-is-victorias-secret/ I agree that young girls (who should be in bed at 10PM) and watch this show look to these frail women walking down the runway as inspiration. I didn't think about the juxtapostion of the models looking at pictures of their younger selves paired with what they are doing now, but that is good food for thought. As for the models in the show, very few of us look like them and why should we? Most are barely into their twenties if at all and are almost six feet tall. I don't fault the models for looking like they do…perhaps that is just how they are built. After all we do all know those people that can eat anything and still remain rail thin! Great article.

I don't agree on all points made in it, but I can understand some, though it's quite dramatic. I was sad I wasn't chosen to help write for this site. Some different pov is much needed on women, media, and pop culture, but oh well. This is a well written article by the author.
