Over Thanksgiving weekend a recurring topic of discussion that was brought to my attention was model's weight, the pressure that the fashion industry puts on girls to be super skinny, and the general emaciated body image that has become such a popular and normal image to us over recent years.
The POSITIVE response i have to all of this is that after going through numerous Spring 2008 ads and runway shows there has been a noticable shift from scary skinny to being toned and sexy. Designers and editors are helping promote a healthy and fit body image through the models on the runway and in magazine spreads. So ladies get to those squats and crunches!
