I recognize some of the models in those pics and those aren't their bodies. But the pictures bring up a very real issue that young girls face in this country. Everyone is so weight conscious that young girls feel like they need to starve themselves to be beautiful. This summer my 12 year old stepdaughter from Florida stayed with her dad and I. She is a beautiful girl and already at 12 years of age she has a very curvacious body. I call her mini J-Lo because she has that Jennifer Lopez booty. My husband would tease her that if she kept eating the way she does, she is going to blow up. I warned him not to do that because she is very conscious of her body image and an innocent comment like that can cause her to stop eating. It is so sad to see girls like Nicole Ritchie wither down to skeletons. The worst part is no one helps these girls, in fact our society encourages it. It makes me so mad.

Looks like these pics were from a fashion show in Madrid. Check out this link:

what!
madrid?
this year?

I swear I heard that they were not longer letting models walk that had a BMI of less than 18!

I mean 18 is REALLY high for a model, it's high for me too, I don't even have a BMI of 18 technically! I'd have to gain about 10 pounds, and I don't look like that

what I love is how they show the really skinny pictures of Nicole Richie and state her weight
and they're wrong
they say she weighs like 86
but I'm really sure she weighs more like 74 because I weigh 87. (remember I'm only 4 feet 11 inches!) and I really honestly look NOTHING like that

the models usually weigh somewher ein the 60's!! can you imagine that, that's like a 5th grader!
