ok. like, enlighten me? here's something i fail to comprehend.

models- those blessed beings with legs that start from their armpits. what is it that they do again? don pretty garbs and parade them so that people would go, "that outfit looks stunning, dah-ling. i'd go get it if thats the last thing i'll do." isn't it? in other words, models should accentuate the clothes they're wearing, right?

so why is it during my long bus rides, tv mobile insist on entertaining me with painfully endless fashion shows featuring models looking like they just got flattened by industrial rolling pins:






i'm stupified. do they flaunt the clothes well? no. in fact not at all. they look like refugees stoned high on weed and neglected by the state welfare. btw, that would explain the perpetually traumatised glassy-eyed look (or is that just malnutrition). it's not as though the clothes are awfully distasteful. drape them around gorgeous figures of jessica alba, giselle bundchen or catherine zeta jones and i'm sure sales figure would go up threefold, at least. but here, they merely resemble curtain fabric on coat hangers. for a start, where's them boobs (or booblets as nana would call them)? i am not even expecting porn-star material here. but the last time i check, pre-pubescent's not exactly very attractive either. i mean come on, even mannequins have boobs.
and please, stop referring to them as slim, slithe or svelte. these people clearly have eating disorders, people.
let's just call a spade, a spade shall we? let's just call them anorexic.
there, sounds much better doesn't it?

i have to mention here that i have no problems with skinny people. they're cool, they can get away with not wearing bra. i just dun understand why modelling agencies choose models who dangerously resemble stick insects, that's all.
BUT i do have a problem with people who skimp on their food as though all their missed meals could save somalia from hunger. whenever that happens, i feel really tempted to shove the nasi lemak and chicken wings down whoever's-throat it is. esp if they are not even thin to begin with-they are super duper fruper luper thin.
