Comment: same ole tired article on how the fashion industry is. . . well, we all already know: the fashion industry is the sole cause of teenage girls' angst. Next they will publish an article on how it is causing your grandmother to commit suicide, your sons to become drug addicts, and your cat to become anorexic.

Comment: LOL. Just another article serving as magazine filler. Yes, most of us have (long ago)realized that the images presented to us, and we are expected to emulate are ridiculous.Things probably aren't going to change folks.. and you are all subconsciously feeding it with your fantasies of being a size "0" (years ago, I couldn't even get past a size "3" (starving myself for two years!) because of my hip bones! The American public is feeding this sickness in continuing to purchase these fashion mags.
