		<description>Anyone else notice that Siriano&#039;s new collection looks exactly like his Project Runway collection, except he threw in a few colors?

He &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; did not deserve to win.  This collection just reinforces that fact.</description>

		<description>Everything about the Model Maker show is so WRONG! I really don&#039;t understand Torrid&#039;s motives to be associated with it either. I mean, let&#039;s say these girls become thin. Isn&#039;t that loosing perspective customers who would pay money to them?</description>

		<description>It&#039;d be nice if people could realize that fashion designers aren&#039;t really trying to clothe the world as creating art that needs a walking hanger.

There is no way around it, you can find two women who are both 5&#039;4&quot; and 300 pounds and have to dress them very differently to get them to look nice, and there&#039;s some idea that we should all be able to buy clothes off the shelf.  If it makes anybody feel any better, just about nobody can.  Not my 6&#039;5&quot; boyfriend, not my younger brother (who god the Greek God gene of the family).  Not my skinny friend with food allergies, nor my relatively average-sized mother (she lost a lot of weight and is in 12s or so, I think).  My mother who is, by the way, an actual real, honest-to-god hourglass figure, which is what most clothes are built for, although few women actually are.  (I am too, if you go by the textbook definition, I just have much bigger hourglass.)  I&#039;ll repeat that- my mother is an hourglass figure and not far from the size eight standard that most clothes are built off of, and *SHE* has trouble buying off the rack.

The move to buying clothing in certain sizes and off a rack was a real step backwards.  I&#039;d be more than willing to pay 40-50 bucks to a seamstress if she would make a pair of jeans that would fit me just the way I want them.  Around my waist, boot cut, short enough... but I&#039;ll be damned if I&#039;m giving Lane Bryant that much so I can settle on a pair.

I&#039;m not the mannequin they built that pair of jeans off of.</description>

		<description>The modeling world is a microplasm. They don&#039;t know what happens outside of their little room. They only ever talk to other people in the room. Most of them have forgotten how people on the outside think.</description>

		<description>On the latest episode of ANTM, Tyra called one girl to task for being super-thin. Tyra asked about the girl&#039;s eating habits to make sure she wasn&#039;t starving herself.

I thought that was good, especially in light of this latest.</description>

		<description>&quot;An American size zero is … the average measurement of an eight-year-old girl. But...&quot;

I knew it.

I KNEW IT.

And one more thing.
&lt;i&gt;Why does the sentence that follows this one start with the word &quot;But&quot; instead of the word &quot;And&quot;????&lt;/i&gt;

*runs screaming*</description>

		<description>Janice Dickinson is a hag. She used to be gorgeous, but she&#039;s so determined to stay young, all her plastic surgery has turned her face into a fright mask, a drag queen caricature. Yes, I know I&#039;m being spiteful and shallow, but that&#039;s exactly what she is.

I don&#039;t know why she is allowed to be famous these days.  Most models from the early years have settled into their age; she is a joke for trying to avoid it and trying to be the Simon Cowell of modeling reality shows.  You would think being a former model would open up her mind to how destructive ED&#039;s in the industry can be, instead, she yells at already thin people for being fat. If anyone takes her seriously, I feel sorry for them.  A life and a healthy mind is more important than looking like jerk-off fodder.</description>

		<description>I think we should take all the designers, movie and TV producers, agents, directors, etc. who force women to be ultra-skinny, and STARVE THEM!

No more business lunches at the best table in the hottest restaurant.  No more designer coffee.  No more being driven to work from their plush homes in gated communities.  Instead, they can starve themselves, work out 6 hours a day, listen to criticism of their physiques 24/7,  get the message that the only thing that matters is how thin they are, AND SEE HOW THEY FUCKING LIKE IT!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I KNEW despite all of their insistence that the show promoted &quot;working out to be healthy and &quot;photoshoot ready&quot; that this show was about how to turn an ugly fatty into a beautiful model.

I COULD SPIT.</description>
