Malnourished Monday #5

dresses to die for

The headline of this Harrods promotion in Grazia reads ‘DRESSES TO DIE FOR’. And the weapon of choice in this case is starvation, I reckon.

Malnourished Monday #5

  • Good lord! Shocking! Someone get that girl a sandwich. Isn’t it sad, really??

    I don’t think anyone needs to die for that dress either.

    Love the theme of Malnourished Monday, by the way and your site is lovely as well. ;)

  • Harrods and Grazia should both be ashamed of themselves. What an appropriate headline.

  • Amy says:

    eeek its not that nice of dress to ‘die for’ get that girl a pie quickly! and if you don’t die of starvation the price will cause a heart attack anyway!! xx

  • TheMadHouse says:

    The dress just looks terrible on her, she is far too thin. Good on you for keeping the awareness going

  • marta says:

    Does anyone actually think this girl is sexy? In m y circle of friends, we all prefer a Scarlett Johansson type, a real woman (well, just prettier than most of us, ha, ha).

  • cartside says:

    the dress looks horrible and so does she, I mean really, that’s not pretty! Or rather, how can anyone find this beautiful and put it in an ad?

  • London Zest says:

    How sad she looks! Thx so much for yesterday! Had such a lovely time yesterday. Little L is looking more and more beautiful. xxx LZ

  • Big M says:

    As if men would find that attractive and go out to buy that dress as a present.
    Stick thin, boney and with that mean “I have you for breakfast” look….. she has us guys running for the hills rather than the stores!

  • Carol says:

    Seriously, she needs some food.
    I think in Europe we still can be overweight and find clothes to buy. But in Brazil its just NOT possible, and in case you are a bit overweight, people looks you like ohhhh my goooddddd.

  • Just trying to imagine myself in that dress (*snigger*). Where would I put the straps of my industrial-sized nursing bra? Get REAL!!

  • Jen says:

    Good, God! Get that woman hooked up to an IV immediately! Isn’t it sad that is what the fashion and advertising industries want for us to think is real beauty?

  • Mwa says:

    It may be she’s starving because she spent all of her savings on that dress.

  • Yikes. Awful. She needs to indulge in a few more gingerbread latte’s with extra cream. Who exactly is this look supposed to appeal to?

  • Rose says:

    she doesn’t look nice- it’s like people can’t see or have been so conditioned their eyes lie to them. Thin is fine but bones sticking out of your face is not.

  • Emily O says:

    Nothing womanly about her figure at all. Yuck.

  • Lady Mama says:

    It looks like you’d have to be near death to fit into that dress. Not attractive or healthy!

  • Yikes. As they say, gives new meaning to ‘dresses to die for’. Harrods, it’s definitely not big, and it’s certainly not clever.

  • Expat Mum says:

    Almost every few months we have some ex-super model confessing about the anorexia/bulimia that they experienced just to stay in the modelling business. Is anyone still under the impression that these women are naturally that thin? I have a thin teenage daughter, but she’s not skin and bone.
