Why It Sucks to Be Homeless: Number 1, Supermodels Eat Your Food
18 February, 2007
Screw the homeless and bring on the free publicity! British posh restaurant Bumpkin has launched a very interesting initiative in what concerns the pressing issue of size 0 models. The controversy has plagued the fashion world for many months now, with many saying that it is in fact that industry that encourages girls to starve themselves to fit the standards. Designers claim it is not their fault that models are anorexic and skinny, fashion promoters say that they work with what they got, models blame it on their parents and the public demand. It's a no-win situation and it is exactly this that prolonged this debate for so long. But Bumpkin does not take sides: it comes up with a solution and it aims to solve this problem once and for all.
That is why Bumpkin chose to do the right thing for these poor little girls. Any model who enters the restaurant has only to prove that her Body Mass Index is 18 or below, flash her model badge (yes, they do have that!) that says she is a size 0 and she can have anything on the menu... for free! Soon, gone will be the days when she used to sit at a table in a restaurant and just stare at her plate or at her reflection in the silver cutlery because the money was too scarce! I know, this is no joking matter. Size 0 models are something troubling and disturbing but this is not the way to solve the problem, when others more stressing are at hand. These girls are sick and they need help, but at least they have a paying job and they have enough money to pay for their own food. The fact that they don't is entirely of their own will. Not the same can be said about, for instance, homeless people. But this is far too complicated and complex a matter to be addressed now. Suffice it to say that, right now in Britain, it kinda sucks to be homeless. Posted by admin at 07:19 PM | View: (275)
