I guess it's not enough for the fashion industry that their models are as thin as sticks. They Photoshop them to make them even more unrealistic.

"Ralph Lauren says sorry for incredible shrinking pelvis"

and what kind of message does that send to women and girls? being model thin and worshipping it is bad enough. but then manipulating the image further by making her look thinner is atrocious.

and what does looking stick thin get you? apparantly, in our world, status...attention...fame...money. more healthy messages. eh?

Which falls into the "Underweight" BMI category.

There is no way that anyone looking at the photo in question would think that someone could actually look like that. Her head is bigger than her hips!

It looks strange and unattractive if you ask me. Not something I aspire to.
