"Fat" Kate Moss Is a Sign of Lean Times?
Kate Moss, fairly or not, has been a symbol for heroin-chic and anorexia since the mid-90s when, at the tender age of 14, her modeling career took off.
Making her the symbol for unhealthy thinness has always seemed unfair to me for many reasons. Some healthy teenagers are scrawny looking; Kate's body type has always been on the waifish side (especially compared to the size-six early '90s glamazons like Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford); and since then, her slender '90s frame has been replaced by the truly skeletal clothes-hanger body types on the runway.
French Parliament Outlaws Thinness
While we all know French women don't get fat, now they might be forbidden by law to appear too thin. The French parliament's lower house passed a controversial bill today that will make it illegal for anyone — that includes fashion magazines, advertisers, and websites — to publicly encourage extreme thinness.
If the bill passes the French Senate, the no-thin law will be the strongest of its kind.

Hearing Others Have Sex
In the apartment where I live, saying the walls are thin is a major understatement — I'm constantly hearing my neighbors having sex. While it totally grosses me out, I have to say I'm happy for them. I do feel a little guilty when I pass them in the hallway, but do you think they have any idea that I can hear their most intimate moments?

Do Tell: What Was Your Mother's Relationship to Food?
Did you "thin-herit" food issues from your mother?
According to a poll conducted by teen magazine Sugar, girls ages 12 - 18 said that their mother's eating and/or dieting habits and views on food were the biggest influence on their own relationship to food. It was found that if a mom diets, she's twice as likely to have a daughter with an eating disorder.
Dear Poll: Slightly Bigger and Healthy or Thin and Unhealthy?
We're bombarded every day with images of skinny women on magazine covers, in commercials, and on our TV screens, which is probably why so many people strive to be thin.
In the April issue of Glamour magazine, 82 percent of women polled said they'd rather be slightly bigger and healthy than very thin and unhealthy. While I happen to agree, I actually thought more women would have admitted to taking drastic measures to be thin.

Ralph Lauren Rep Apologizes For Photoshopping Model
When controversy erupted over an image for Ralph Lauren's Blue Label — model Filippa Hamilton's body appeared to have been digitally retouched, so that she looked bobble-headed and emaciated — I was convinced that the image wasn't the original ad. I was sure that it had been retouched by one of those "thinspirational" proanorexia blogs you hear about which feature models Photoshopped, so that they look like Holocaust victims.
Wow, was I wrong.
