On Project Runway, a model who wears a size 4-6 was described as "zaftig" and "plus-sized," and working with her was looked at as a negative in the competition. Yay for Spain for injecting a dose of reality...more than a so-called reality show.

I think that is just sick the way models are expected to look sure does screw up young women's views of themselves

that's why what Spain and Milan have done ( see news article in my post on the previous page) is so important. To quote from that article:
Wednesday, September 13, 2006 - 1:53 pm YAY!!!! Skinny models banned from catwalk MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- The world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modeling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other venues. Madrid's fashion week has turned away underweight models after protests that girls and young women were trying to copy their rail-thin looks and developing eating disorders. Organizers say they want to project an image of beauty and health, rather than a waif-like, or heroin chic look. <snip> "Fashion is a mirror and many teenagers imitate what they see on the catwalk," said regional official Concha Guerra. The mayor of Milan, Italy, Letizia Moratti, told an Italian newspaper this week she would seek a similar ban for her city's show unless it could find a solution to "sick" looking models. Quality, not size The Madrid show is using the body mass index or BMI -- based on weight and height -- to measure models. It has turned away 30 percent of women who took part in the previous event. Medics will be on hand at the September 18-22 show to check models. "The restrictions could be quite a shock to the fashion world at the beginning, but I'm sure it's important as far as health is concerned," said Leonor Perez Pita, director of Madrid's show, also known as the Pasarela Cibeles. A spokeswoman for the Association of Fashion Designers of Spain, which represents those at Madrid fashion week, said the group supported restrictions and its concern was the quality of collections, not the size of models. <snip>

Japan's Princess Kiko, right, and her husband, Prince Akishino, left, smile as they leaves a Tokyo hospital with their newborn son Prince Hisahito in Tokyo, Friday, Sept. 15, 2006.
I know it's not gossip but they just look sooo cute and happy to have their baby Prince!

I got severely yelled at by Ms. Bacall once, for bringing her a glass of water with "not enough ice." I'm not kidding.
