interesting idea – love the graphic image you have too – I’ve been to a few fashion shows and it always suprised me how awful they look close up – one in ten of them appeared to be truly skinny, healthy and beautiful

Great idea! I’m totally behind you on this. The image is quite eerie – spot on. How can anyone so painfully thin as the runway models we see these days be happy or healthy?

Ha! Saw your post just in time for my first run in yonks in effort to re-gain my size nil. I’m now the average American size of 12 and would be well pleased to get down to a healthy size 6 or 8 which is my ideal. When I was a zero I got a lot of hateful stares but was also a full time smoker. Ditched the ciggies but gained 3 stone. Ah well, it was worth giving up the dirty deed. I was just chatting to my husband yesterday about a woman I work with who eats complete crap but is tiny. Now that makes me ill!

Im the same as you, I love my magazines but does that mean Im supporting the ultra-thin ‘ideal’?

So sad that this size 0 image is so prevalent, so sad that so many women and girls are affected by this–even ‘balanced’ individuals!! I support your campaign!!!

Great idea – I love it when people make a stand. That’s such a dreadful picture – looks like something from a book I have in the downstaors loo called ‘The Ghastlycrumb Tinies’. Check it out – you’ll see what I mean!

Lol Nappy Vally girl is on the money “shroud” – exactly! Your so right in what your saying MM and i really hope things can change as it’s depressing to think my four girls will have to contend with this insane body ideal soon.

Shroud collection? What, because they’ll all be dropping dead from eating disorders? Apt name….
