Aproape la propriu. Citeam povestea asta, a unei fete ajunsă fotomodel de succes pe la 18 ani și mă intreb cum de mai rezistă agențiile alea de modeling. La urma urmei fetele alea sunt doar niște copii fără prea mult discernământ.

The most confusing part of the whole situation? All of her pictures were manipulated. She said, “They added weight to my thighs and cheeks. The girls working there today will probably say I’m lying. They can't say anything if they want to continue.” The girls would purposefully snack in front of journalists to keep the critics at bay, but many then vomit once the cameras are gone. 

Ati înțeles, da? Ei le spun cam așa: "Slăbiți dacă vreți să prezentați haine la Paris, Milano etc.", iar apoi, în poze, le îngrașă din photoshop. Sclavele de acolo, încă neeliberate, se prefac în fața presei că mănâncă una, alta ca să apere agenția de critici, după care se duc și vomită multa mâncare pe care au înghițit-o. Și chestia asta duce la multe lucruri nasoale:

But behind the glitter and spotlight, was a painful truth. Victoire was suffering from anorexia. “My pulse was very weak, I was losing my hair, I had osteoporosis, and I stopped having my period,” remembers the model. She admitted to fainting between several fashion shows. 

Povestea de mai sus vine din partea unei fete care a reușit să iasă din industria asta, punând capăt carierei de model la 23 ani.

Victoire finally decided to put an end to her modeling career. The young woman, now 23, recently published a book called, “Never Skinny Enough. Diary of a Top Model,” in which she tells all. She reveals her experiences with the pressures to be thin, and the famous designers who she feels dehumanize the women they work with, treating them like vulgar coat hangers. “Karl Lagerfeld says, 'a Chanel suit doesn’t fit a woman with breasts.' But women have breasts by definition. Why doesn’t he just make a suit that fits women?!?”
