Perpetuating Bad Body Images?

Post by cy1229 » Sep Thu 27, 2012 11:01 am

A teaching friend of mine posted this link. As the mother of two teenaged girls, neither of whom fits the "ideal model" body type, I see this person's point.

Thoughts? Comments?

Wizz had put the images somewhere else here on the forum...not sure where. Maybe he can remember and we could ask Len to merge the two?

Neither fat nor skinny? I think not. I very much doubt that Walt would have signed this off :cry:
1980, 2000, 2005 and 2008 all had plenty of magic. Hoping for a bit more in 2010.

So here is the final product I guess ~ a collaboration between Barneys and Disney. Kind of weird. I suppose it makes more sense if you are into the fashion industry.

Not gonna lie, I actually kinda liked it. Not the weird/tall and skinny versions, just the overall short. The caricatures of the different characters were great!
