All those little dieters that keep harping about how they want to lose weight so they can look like Renee or Reese or whoever need to watch this. I’m going to post this to my own journal.

Well, I'm ticked, I guess I'll be sticking to Bust-Bitch as another poster said. I haven't seen the cover, stuck inside on bedrest but I am seriously disappointed.

I must be missing something here. Glamour is probably the least offender in the gamut of magazines. Sure, they have small models but their articles show different body types/sizes. They also have a fitness and weight loss program but they don't have headlines like most other magazines "get a bikini body by June!" I get the point, but why pick on Glamour, who seems to actually be trying to counteract these effects? If I completely missed something, then never mind :) Did Glamour say something about it not mattering? I must be missing something here.

When I was a tween, I would look at the models in fashion magazines and have one of two thoughts. The first being, "Wow, I can really see her bones; that must hurt!" The second one was, "She looks REALLY hungry." I have always wanted to look like Pam Grier: tall, buxom, strong, fabulous wardrobe (I love fashion from the blaxploitation era) and all around kickass. I have always looked at her as such a striking presence; I still do. To this day I'm waiting for Ms. Grier to come out with her own clothing line. Can you tell she's my idol?
