Just Why Would Anyone Want To Buy Designer Clothes If They Look Like This?

Yeah, those girls did look grumpy...lol...ekk, I thought the heeled shoes were hideous but maybe cause these tootsies haven't worn heels in years and don't plan to...like comfort so I can walk right.

I'm with you pye, high heels, nylons, corsets and bras must all have been invented by men as torture devices for women. LOL! Via La Mary Janes!!!!!!!!!!

LOL@ Irishfrndly65
Corsets and bras may be torture devices, as are girdles LOL but not high heels:)

Yeah what's the deal with the hose like that??...LOL...Hehe...yeah, their hairstyles looked like they just tumbled out of bed...

Don't you think a lot of that hair is extentions? The hose had me wondering too.

JC Penny or Target is more up my alley not to mention my wallet...LOL

Sorry I there was more to answer. Why do they walk funny? To may their nonexsitant buttts wiggle to present the image of being sexy. Thus, you're sexy if you wear these clothes.

Why aren't they happy? Well their starving, you be happy if you lived on celery, carrots (on a good day) and cigarettes for most of you career?

LOL you must have been writing this as I was writing mine. I made a comment about unhappy+not eating thing too. LOL LOL Both parts of your response had me laughing.

Yeah, most of those models are usually anorexics so no wonder they are thin and starved looking.
That's funny about the glasses...I wear prescription glasses....I got them at a store called Eyeglass Factory and cost me $25.00 versus designer ones for several hundred

I'm glad I gave you a laugh, on a more serious not some models have been banned from the runway because they were too skinny. There was a model that died, what? Two years ago because of malnutrition. I think it's sad that the new size 7 is a 3 and a size 3 is a zero. I had trouble with eating and before I was married. I was 28 and wore a girls size 16. My husband fixed most of that and I have sympathy for those who don't like themselves enough to starve themselves.

Yes most models are anorexics or bulimics....I mean what prey tell is "sexy" about a toothpick thin woman anyway that wears a size 0000?

Mmmm...funny you should mention legs though...all my life I've been relatively thin..NATURALLY...it was the common joke in the family that I must have taken after my father's side of the family since my mother said they could eat a whole cow and not gain weight...to this day I actually do have toothpick thin legs and arms....but I eat like a horse...uh, it does unfortunately settle in my stomach area though...LOL

I've never been a slave to fashion ever..I wear what suits me and compliments my "character" which is fairly bohemian...heehee

Bingo...I was looking for an article about the model you mentioned about dying...she was only 88 pounds and five foot six

Pyewacket: I hope the legs comment didn't offend you in anyway. I really wasn't meaning it to be offensive to anyone. I have known people, both natural and anorexic who had thin legs, so I definitely don't see anything wrong with it, we are all built differently. I know I tend to carry a lot of my weight below the waist, and I hate it. LOL But I was just saying there were a few shots in that video that made it look like the models legs were almost non-existant, but from the front they looked more normal. I really think it was the camera angle that made the illusion though, because it was very extreme, I mean, I have a friend who was like 70 some pounds when I first met her and she had very skinny legs, but they weren't even like a few of the models I saw.

I'm sure you knew I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I just felt like I should clarify, because I know how I would feel if someone made a comment like that.

Also, I remember hearing about those models, it is very sad that some of these girls are trying to be so perfect for their agencies or careers that it kills them.

Nope..LOL..no offense taken here. I do know how devastating anorexia/bulima is first hand since my own mother was doing that.
Long story short version...my mother did have a lot of emotional problems...to put it mildly and was actually seeing a therapist, but she didn't consent to sign one of those proxies that would have allowed me intervention in her "clinical" care" Then she started doing a bulimic thing...she would eat dinner and I'd watch her race to the kitchen to stick her finger down her throat to "purge"...now my mother had always been rather heavy-set, well as you can imagine she dropped weight in no time flat...in the meantime I was trying to l alert everyone about this..her doctors, her social worker and yes, the putz therapist...even wrote a letter to the director of the hospital clinic...all I got back was a letter, "Due to the Hipaa Privacy Law, we may not discuss your mother's clinical care. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us." Big friggin deal. It DID turn out there was actually a medical reason she was doing the bulimia thing though...she had a tumor in her esophagus---now if the morons who were supposed to have had her best interests listened to me, they might have investigated whether her bulimia was psychological or medical. The real hurtful part about it was my mother, a chronic liar, didn't tell people she was doing a bulimic thing and reason for her weight loss...but instead telling people that I never fed her and was making her starve..nice, huh? She finally consented to sign a proxy, turn out the last few months of her life.....I went with her to see her therapist and tried to convey all my mother's emotional problems to him, including her depression....his words to me? "You're mother doesn't look very depressed to me." She is sitting there with this big smile on her face....you mean to tell me this yahoo was basing his analysis that my mother wasn't depressed because she was smiling? Give me a break.......

As far as all these not normal looking thin models..maybe they all need to see "good" therapists to discover if they are anorexic/bulimic--it might save their lives, don't you think?

PS greysfreak...look under my response to barbiedollgirl...that's a photo of me at sixteen years of age....wearing my Peter Max tights...my skinny legs haven't changed much....LOL

Hey! I saw the picture of you. You do have skinny legs, but definitely not unhealthy looking like some of those models. LOL I have a friend who is also very naturally skinny, for years she was like 90-95 pounds and wanted to gain weight. I think at one point she managed to get up to 105 or so, but she was still very skinny, so I definitely know that there are people out there who actually have trouble gaining weight, because that is just the way they are built.

I am so glad that I didn't offend you, because I definitely didn't mean to. And I am so sorry you had to see your mom go through all of that. And to top things off that it ended up being a health problem that caused it.

I often watch the Oprah Winfrey show and she does a "fashion" thing every once in awhile...she first brings out a model wearing designer clothing that costs thousands, then brings out another model wearing fairly similar looking clothes that have the same effect but are under a hundred dollars for the same look and effect

Hi pyewacket! Yes, I have seen that Oprah show too about the clothes and if those designers have seen her show, maybe they will be frowning at her for doing that..giving people alternatives. haha..

Yes I think Coco Chanel would be rolling in her grave if she saw how her name and line of clothes looked like now...The design stockings weren't too bad, didn't care for the hose that was white in front and black in back though...when I was in high school I used to wear tights that had Peter Max designs on them...thought I was "real cool"--hehe-was trying to find an old photo of me wearing them, but couldn't find..oh, well.

Bingo...found one of my pictures....now you get to see my skinny legs...and those Peter Max tights...though can't see the design too much

Hey Pye- That's a pretty cool picture ... you look very chic!!

LOL...I actually tried to copy the "model" walk and nearly fell on my ..uh, well you know...heehee

Oh my, that really would be a nightmare...hehee

Thankfully, I didn't have any nightmares that I can recall. I slept so soundly that didn't even hear the alarm go off this morning. lol

I think the whole designer thing is to "impress" other people, don't you think?
