The Vanishing Point

. . .Nowhere was this more clear than at the recent men’s wear shows in Milan and Paris, where even those inured to the new look were flabbergasted at the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished.

I'm a skinny person, and I really hate it when I hear people joke about how I, or other naturally slim folk, should "eat a sammich" or something asinine like that. I eat more than most of my fat friends - I just burn it faster. People come in all shapes and sizes, and there are some really gorgeous thin people - why shouldn't they be models?
