Going too Far?!
Posted by: Ann Pechacek

120 pounds and fired for being to too fat????!!!! The news has been buzzing about the Ralph Lauren ad that was photoshopped so poorly, the model looked like she weighed about 80 pounds. The model in this picture, Filippa Hamilton, has claimed she was fired by Ralph Lauren for being "too large" Too large? She is actually 5'10' 120 pounds and a size 4!

What is this saying to young women, teens and other fashion designers? Shish.

Body image books have always been published, but more and more are coming out with (THANKFULLY!) a better message such as be true to yourself, love it or hate it you only have one body!
