no, superthin models make us feel good about ourselves

yesterday i read an article (more like an unsophisticated blog post, much like the one you find yourself reading now, dear reader) titled: why super thin models may be making us fat.

yes, you read it right. you'll have to look it up yourself because as a member of the thin minority it is far beneath me so i will not recommend it to anyone.

(ok not really)
So my displeasure with this whole issue has been mentioned before. with the idea of skinny models somehow influencing our body image, i began to think. and then to remember.

i always talk of "playing supermodel." you know, putting on stilettos and strutting my stuff, "faking it till i make it" as my grandma always said.

so is it that hard to believe that super thin models have played some role in the development of my body image?

LOOKING AT THE PICTURES IN VOGUE, I IDENTIFIED WITH THE SUPER SKINNY MODELS AND SAW THAT IT IS OK FOR GIRLS NOT TO HAVE HUMONGOUS BREASTS. and that is how i started to gain self-confidence.

i am not making this up.
if any of you knew me my freshman year of high school, you probably know that i started doing track because I WANTED MY LEGS TO NOT BE SO SKINNY.

so i'll give them that one, but turn it on its head: it's a good thing there were skinny flat-chested girls plastered all over magazines because it make one skinny flat-chested girl start to feel ok about her body.
