ok for those of you who don’t know, here’s a quick rundown on the HIGH FASHION MODELING INDUSTRY:
1. u have to be tall
2. U HAVE TO BE SKINNY!!!!

look at any D&G ad and 100% of the time you will see models that are 20 lbs UNDERWEIGHT!

so what’s so bad about the model maker show? well yes i understand it’s damaging for the teens, but that is how the editorial modeling industry is, regardless of how many of us are against it. the clients are those big brand names and they will only cast you if you fit their requirements.

I saw an ad for a casting call for this show and almost wanted to shoot myself.

I have been struggling with anorexia for the past 10 years.. it has been pure HELL recovering in America.

With new shows like this.. God forbid anyone watch it.
I just can’t believe what this world has come to.
Makes me sick to say I am an American.

MTV used to stand for Music Television and in the eighties, I loved watching it. Today guess what the M stands for?

According to wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn, the definition of Misogynous is “hating women in particular.”

Skinny, fat, young, old, white, black, gay, straight, big-boobed, flat chested, rich, or poor…this channel makes us all feel badly.

Isn’t this the show that Torrid is sponsoring? It seems like I have heard of it before.

Read about this earlier. How utterly disgusting and yet completely unsurprising. MTV sucks, and needs to go down.

Maybe if there’s enough uproar over the show it’ll get canceled?

Oh. Right. Not likely, huh?

I’m gonna go watch the Womens’ Olympic water polo team. They’re strong and athletic.

Cubical girl….great thought but I’m sure you’d end up right on the cutting room floor.

I’m sure I’m too old for the show (only in MTV-Land is 31 considered old) but I would love to go on there as a contestant and subvert it. I’d exercise appropriately, eat healthfully and question all the BS unhealthy behaviors they were promoting. Then I’d radiate self-esteem and encourage the other girls to love themselves as they are. Heads would explode all over the MTV corporate offices.

It is just scary because it will give young girls the idea that this is how weight loss is supposed to be, and if they are not losing pounds a week, then they are doing something wrong. Damn- thats a pound per day. Thats what I strived when I was anorexic.

This is AWFUL. I can’t even imagine who could’ve come up with the idea for this. It’s so wrong. My GOD.
