I love Glamour. I love that there are people out there, like Glamour, trying to reverse this sickening anorexic/bulimic, emaciated, rail-thin, 6 feet tall and 105 pounds look.

HOWEVER, I don't understand why Glamour and others hopping on their bandwagon, feel the need to go to the "opposite extreme" with their models.

Don't get me wrong. I think that some people have a problem with high metabolisms or whatever, and they can't help looking skinny/underweight when they're trying to be healthy. Likewise, some people can't help having some extra pounds/curves even when they try to eat healthily and exercise.

What I don't understand..... is WHY the fashion industry and the magazines can't simply depict women of the IN-BETWEEN (i.e. HEALTHY) size??? Underweight is unhealthy, overweight is unhealthy, so why not show women that are in-between???

I know I am short in height - 5 ft. 3 in., but my weight is healthy. 112 lb. Some of that weight is from muscle! A nearly 6 foot model should not weigh the same as I do.

I am also peeved by people who are saying that "the average woman is a size 10" or "the average woman is a size 14." Or whatever. The average means to take ALL WOMEN - the underweight, the normal weight, and the overweight, and then group them all together, and divide the weights by the total number of weights, then you have an average weight. Well, that number, unfortunately, is SKEWED by the vast number of overweight and obese women. It may be "average" or it may be more "normal" for women to be overweight or obese, but I have to admit that although women of those sizes want to see models in those sizes.... I do not think those should be the "normal" sizes depicted. I'm not saying they shouldn't be shown at all, I'm saying that more HEALTHY (not underweight, not overweight) should be what is "normal" to be shown in magazines.

We should be advertising HEALTHY sizes (weights proportionate to height), not underweight or overweight.

We love the new spring trends available. You can buy great statement pieces in fringe or feathers to incorporate into your wardrobe. We spoke to Canadian designers Greta Constantine about their favourite spring trends. Check out what the designers think is the hottest thing to buy this season: http://realstylenetwork.com/index.php/3250.html

GOOD GRIEF! Women should do what they want, wear what they want and people need to mind their own business. If you don't like it, TOUGH. All this "fashion" stuff is about SELLING you STUFF you probably don't need, and at exhorbitant prices.

I like denim. *eye roll*

Seriously, these people should stop being so pointless.

that "fashion" stuff is not very attractive for me, your average American male-type...
and the poor models! Most look like they were recently released from a
TB ward! The girl with the denim jeans and jacket looks the best to me, even if the colors
don't quite match, still lots better than the undershirt with the frizzy stuff sewed along the bottom!

This is ridiculous..........................go ahead and wear what it is you like ladies, not what this zero article says........................have fun and enjoy your clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do all these girls look so pale and skinny as a rail? Since when are stick figures sexy and hott? Whoever tells these girls to get that skinny has issues! They are beautiful but as pale and skinny as they are...they look like the walking dead...sorry

A feather skirt? Spangly gold and silver tops? Ooookaaayyy.....I'll look fabulous in them shopping for a barrel of kitty litter at Walmart, lol!

I alm normally thin, due to my thyroid condition, my weight bounces from 118 to 122. Im 60 years old and would love to find size 3 ladies jeans, that come to my waist. I hate wearing these jeans from the junior section that are below your navel. I think the producers of clothing should keep that in mind.

Ladies,

Do as you please....this is what the American way seems to project -- listen to talking heads, magazines, and celebrities....think for yourself, take your own opinion with high regard and respect your taste.

People wear what they like. There's really only 3 countries in the world that keep up with fashion...shows how important it is.

Those outfits are GROSS! I think there was one that I liked. Who would really wear these outfits, they are not for the "normal" women who work for a living.

How about something easy to dress in:such as a dress or skirt for a change, instead of menswear. Be proud to be a woman and dress feminine style; something seriously lacking in our anti-Western culture, the last 60 socialistic, unconstitutional years .Ditch the pants, especially the most masculine " blue jeans " as if every day you were either horseback riding or gardening every day.

shes looking just fine

Diane....a size 3 IS a Junior (teen) size. You will most likely only find low rise, and way too trendy jeans in jr sizes, not suited for an adult. You need misses sizes...look for a size 4 or a 2. When i weighed 110 pounds at 6 feet tall....i was a perfect size 4 or 6....how are you gettting in to size 3 jeans at that weight anyway?
Try Chicos or Coldwater Creek their sizes run in a smaller cut. Good Luck !
