I’m going to read that interview with Marquita right this instant that is fascinating!! I honestly don’t really have a problem with the padding situation. A model really is more than her body, it’s her image, her ability of coming to life ect.

I am ecstatic about the L’Oreal ads…honestly I’ve worked in advertising for years now and the UK ad guidelines are notoriously really really liberal in their substantiation claims from UK produced advertising are often taken completely out b/c the support is so flimsy. So I’m actually really happy about the ads being taken down.

I’ve never heard of someone using padding to add more curves. It’s really just like the models who wear certain bras to make themselves look bigger, or as Steph mentioned photoshopping to make someone look slimmer or bringing their face to perfection. It’s all lies and I don’t think it’s right. The sad thing is a lot of people get sucked into them. Everyone is all about altering, when is it going to be about accepting?

Loved reading through the post!

The age-old question! People have told me I should model, and I’m like… I’d either have to gain 40 pounds or lose 40 pounds. There’s no room for an “average” body.

Wow! Lots goin’ on here. Props for putting together such an informative round-up of current happenings…

First off, isn’t the padding thing to make someone seem wider similar to photoshopping someone to making them seem slimmer? I’m not saying either of those is okay, but I’m not too shocked that the padding is happening.

And the celeb designers… it’s interesting because if they weren’t celebrities, would they even have the desire to design? Or are they doing it for more self-promotion, to have another project going on? It doesn’t seem innocent to me.

The padding trick is just bizzare! Not only could a brand just hire a larger model, but what is wrong with featuring an average-size model?! We see the thinnest of the thin and the curviest of the curvy, but rarely do we see anything in between. How can the fashion industry claim to embrace “real” bodies when we only see two ends of a spectrum?
