BONE-THIN IS NO LONGER "IN"

Ever wonder why those skin-and-bones runway models always look so angry? I figured it out: THEY'RE HUNGRY--THEY NEED A GOOD MEAL!

So here's a boost to our confidence in mankind: Recently Madrid and Milan both banned ultra-thin models from their fashion show runways! As a follow-up, Spain has required all super-skinny mannequins in clothing stores to be replaced with a mannequin that is at least a size 6. And, a bill was passed in the French Parliament making it illegal to "publicly incite extreme thinness." If the Senate passes the measure into law, it will be a crime for anyone--TV producers, advertisers, magazines, websites--to promote or glamorize being super-skinny. Proposed penalties are 2-3 years imprisonment and fines up to $71,000.

And maybe the most unimaginable: France is requiring all clothing manufacturers to follow standardized sizing--so that in any store, in any clothing line, a size 8 will be a size 8. Maybe the French will give us more than a questionable way to kiss!
IMAGINE THAT!!!!!
