Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez vous coucher avec moi

KY: Sorry, try again.

Anon654: Maybe. Can you tell me a little more about yourself?

there's a pretty cool new fashion design on page 2 of today's p.i.

and if they're so not afraid and are about to kick our/my ass, why do they have to use such an old promotional photo?

There's a difference between "plus-size" healthy and dangerously obese. I've seen this story all over, praising the designer for his sensitiviy, but to me it just seems cynical and a little mean. "You complain about thin models? Okay, check THIS out, bitches!" He`s giving us two options: unhealthy thin or unhealthy fat. And you don`t want to be unhealthy fat, so keep hating yourself till you starve to death!

Also, that CBS video killed my browser.

thank you gautier! that girl is a FOX!

I actually hope that Pox's cynical interpretation is correct -- if Gaultier is honestly trying to promote the "acceptance" of obesity, then we've gone all the way round the bend.

It is NOT okay to be obese, Schmader. I don't know why you're cheering.

Those lightweights at Project Runway could have used a lesson from Monsieur Gaultier for this season's Fat Lady Challenge.

Oops.

I mean Angela's Fat Passive-Agressive Mom Challenge.

I mean, um, the Everyday Woman Challenge.

If you'd seen the "models" at Milan, you'd realize most are so skeletal it's a wonder anyone would think they're sexy.

I bet Pox is right, and Gaultier is thumbing his nose at the Spaniards who mandated models have a minimum BMI of 18.

Milan banned the thinnest models this year.

The video is a hoot. I periodically have to attend runway shows for my work, and some of those models are so thin, it is a wonder they can stand on their own without assistance, much less walk. I've seen models briefly wobble a little, but never seen one actually go down. Not all that surprising though. Some of those girls don't have enough muscle tissue in their legs to keep a bird upright.

The "full-figured-and-then-some" model is not really any better. Weighing 300 lbs is no healthier than weighing 85 lbs.

I have seen exactly one model on a runway that looked even remotely normal. Nordstrom has a runway show at the Paramount every year. For a couple of years, one of their models was a very gracious older middle aged woman; silver hair, looked like she weighed maybe 150 lbs. I thought she looked great. She was perfectly made up, hair perfectly styled, and dressed sharp (as you'd expect from a Nordsrtom model). I thought she was a great example of what a normal woman can look like with a bit of attention to hair, makeup, and clothes. The rest of the models looked typically heroin thin.

sorry, that was Madrid, not Milan.

I'm cheering Gaultier for his art, not his public-service announcement on the dangers of morbid obesity.

you guys, i really don't think the model in the photo is MORBIDLY OBESE. yes, she has big thighs but i don't think those are a real health hazzard to anyone not immediately between them. SHE'S SO HOT!

She may be hot, but she is also morbidly obese.

I think she's hot too! And her personal health is HER own business.

I think Pox is right. He's all, "hey, this skinny business is all controversial and shit again, so let's use a fat model. No, no, no, not a plus sized girl, like, IN YOUR FACE FAT." But he said it in French, not the 7th grade dialect I used.

weigh her feces on a produce scale...report what you find

Yeah, when I see a morbidly obese woman I think to myself: I want to look just like her.

Puleese.

Am I the only one bothered by the birds nest positioned where her hair should be?

Looks like lunch and dinner all combined - and twice a day if you need it.

What a hot woman - and some homo is worried about her hair.

Boney, skinney women have never had any appeal for me. Very dry pussy as well.

Fashion be gone - show us more real women..... full of mother earth vibes.

Actually, both Madrid and Milan made an issue of it this year. Most of the online pics are from Milan.
