Another day, another crazy story about the fashion industry and how someone's body has been distorted to give the impression of being skinnier than they are. The latest twist in the saga of that Ralph Lauren model who appeared in an ad that had been altered to give the impression that she was freakily thin is that she'd previously been fired for being too fat. "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes any more," the 5-feet, 10-inch, 120-pound model told the New York Daily News. It reportedly happened last spring. It's time to Stop, the madness already. How many more of these stories can we take? Not to hate on super-skinny models, but I prefer to see how clothes fit on regular folks, people with curves and a little extra flesh. To expect extra tall women with large frames to fit into itsy bitsy clothing is warped and unrealistic. It's time for some of these so-called fashionistas to become real-istas instead.
