Actually many of these women can eat whatever they want and still be thin. But most women as a general rule arent that way. They have to watch it. Also being anorexic is not always the case. Many models are not anorexic or bulemic at all. That's a myth. It is a common thing yes, but it's also a stereotype. I think women contribute to rigid beauty standards by not expecting anything else.
Super model is my idea of the perfect job because I am short and not pretty. There is an ugly side which I forget when I see these gorgeous girls. Men are not attracted to me because I don't have blonde hair, blue eyes and only 5' tall. I weigh 105 and it doesn't help.
Random as anything but I don't suppose anyone remembers a documentary on either BBC 1 or BBC 2 in the early to mid 2000's (between 2003-2005 to be exact), where it followed the everyday life of a 20 something model who had dark hair, eyes and complexion--from what I recall she was a British born & raised woman with mixed heritage/biracial--who worked in an industry in London where the majority of other models were blonde blue (or green hazel or grey eyes) models. They too were all in thier 20's BUT thankfully the other models, photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists and so on weren't catty, shallow, bitchy or toxic. The model in question fitted in perfectly with everyone and it looked sincere and not just for the TV show itself. They all had good workplace morale. I recall various clips of both the dark brunette model and the other fair blonde models socialising such as meeting up at a cafe, going clubbing or just chilling. Very rare for an industry where bitchiness is usually rife, it was so refreshing to see everyone getting along.
I lived in paris also for 6 years. then one on south italy. the whole of europe is sick. Well, the whole world has sickness. But the oppressed people always have more soul.
