Poster child for pro ana?





I was browsing the Internet today, and found this chilling pro anorexic clip on Snejana titled THINspiration. Thinspiration is the term given to visuals of thin women/men by pro anorexics to inspire them to achieve their goal in staying thin. Apparently, Snejana is one of the most popular thinspiration role models among those endorsing eating disorders. Snejana's pictures are used to inspire themselves to not eat, and her thin body is considered ideal.



I'm all for freedom of speech, but where should creative liberty and freedom of expression draw the line? I don’t know if Snejana has an eating disorder or not, and I am not implying that she does, but I am sure that she and other models shown in these videos are unwillingly designated poster children of anorexia. Because there is very little censorchip on You Tube, these videos are accessed by thousands of young girls who struggle with eating disorders on a daily basis.

Should You Tube remove all thinspiration videos? I'm really curious as to what you guys all think about this. Please share your thoughts...

P.S. One of the user comments for this video says that it sucks that Snejana was dropped from IMG's board. Could this true?

UPDATE: I was confused because I didn't think that she was with IMG- so I called IMG this morning anyway, to see if she was dropped, and the receptionist said he didn't know who Snejana was. WTF?! even if she isn't with IMG, i'm sure he knew who she is...But there must be some truth to this... I wonder what these "issues" that made her so difficult to work with.
And by the way...she's with DNA. Where has she been?

It's A Walk Off

Is it a tad bit cliche that Gemma Ward rocks my world? I also happen to love Sasha Pivovarvora. But whose the better model? Which model SCREAMS Lux,Sex and Rock and Roll? Which one rocks couture with more of the "it" factor.

Lets face these two off in my first "Walk Off". The battle of the look-a-likes! I'm beginning to think that the two are really one... Hangers never looked so sweet.

Location: Ringside at the Valentino Catwalk February 28, 2007, Paris.

Round 1.

Gemma


Sasha


Round 2.
Gemma


Sasha



And the final Round...

Round 3.

Gemma


Sasha



Of course the collection was beyond stellar, and the show was casted beautifully. Stam, Snejana, Lily Donaldson, and Flavia among others graced the catwalk...but Gemma and Sasha stole the show.

So darlings tell me, who was your favorite? Gemma or Sasha?

from runway to reality

Okay...

I received some emails asking me why I didn't post anything on the fashion selections of the Golden Globes, but honestly, I wasn't too thrilled. All the usual suspects showed up in very predictable attire (seriously, who DIDN'T expect Beyonce to wear a barely there gold dress?). If I were on the red carpet, I would stick to only something that was custom made, or Vintage.

Cameron Diaz wore something straight off the Valentino Spring 07 runway, but somehow the look did not suit her... I hate to say this, but her look reminded me of Bjorks tragedy.



RUNWAY: IMG's powerhitter, Jessica Stam



REALITY

A WORLD OF NO




Sadly, a little all too familiar.
