A few weeks ago i was reading about politicians wanting to ban  photo shop in the UK and I was thinking that was way too extreme a measure to take.  You wouldn't ban special effects from movies because they give people unrealistic expectations. Should we ban  Harry Potter movies because  broomsticks don't really fly?

 

 However, after seeing the images from the new Ralph Lauren campaign, featuring Countess Filippa Hamilton ( yes the girl from the Ralph Lauren Blue ads is a Swedish Noble) I think that  whoever photo shopped those photos  should be banned from photoshopping… FOREVER!!!! The photos look unrealistic  and  scary.

 

Apparently, the  plot has thickened even more since those photos came out, now Filippa alledgedly has been fired from Ralph Lauren for being overweight.  Filippa is a UK size 8, she is 5 foot 10 and weighs 120 pounds which would give her a Body Max index of 17.2 ( anything under 18.5 is considered underweight). How can a girl who is underweight  be fired for  being too big?  I miss the models of the 80's who all looked  healthy and beautiful. I really think the obsession with stick thin bodies needs to come to an end.

 

What's your opinion?
