Dammit! No milk. I leave my husband the ATM card to get food while I'm at work...But does he actually get up off his ass, go the store and USE the damned thing? Hell no.

Bitch is STILL where I left him this afternoon: in the Mancave.

And I left the PCS for THIS? Fuckit. I really just need to go to bed. But I want milk! I just ate peanut butter. A late-nite peanut butter sammy with NO milk? shit.

'Nite.

@Lux: Yep, still here.

It was a very boring and slow evening. I seriously need to get out of the house more. Haha

Well, MickeyHolland, thanks first of all. Knowing that you made that mental/emotional transition whenever you felt similar to how I do now is inspiring and thanks for not judging me for my issues.

I like my personality. I think I'm intelligent and I can easily make others laugh. Everyone who has taken the time to get to know me like me, so in that sense, I don't hate myself.

Khensu Hetep, Wow, I had to let this one sink in. When I was in my mid-twenties I was depressed up to the point where I considered bailing out. I always felt like I was the stupidest, the most boring, the fattest and the ugliest woman in the room. In reality I have a university degree, I am of normal height and build an in general men find me attractive and entertaining enough. I guess that what I'm saying is that it's all a matter of perspective. Once I chose "to be" instead of "not to be" I turned a mental switch, became more confident and empowered over the years. Whenever I tell people about my identity crisis, they have a hard time imagining me in that confused state. I hope that you will be able to turn that mental swith too, because you read like someone who has a lot to offer. Please don't go through life as you're own worst enemy!

@LuxLuv: Werd!

I hope you got a good night's rest from the gamer-tards, even though you've probably gone off to bed by now. I suck at timing.

Now we are the crow which contemplated the silence...

MickeyHolland, thank you for explaining yourself further. At first it sounded like you were just another member who decided to attack naturally petite women like myself. I'm sorry that I snapped at you for that, but I'm actually very unhappy with the way I look because most heterosexual men are clearly prejudiced against women like me. Not saying that I am a size 2 by a long shot, as I am actually overweight, but I'm really *struggling* with my body image.

I'm overweight, but all of my body fat distributes to my upper body. I may have gained a few pounds on my ass, but most of it accumulated in my stomach, back, and arms. My legs are still thin and my hips, although with some extra fat on them now, are relatively narrow when I'm *not* overweight. I actually would like to keep my hips and ass the same size as they are now, but I don't know how to maintain "curves" without losing weight.

I'm really trying to be thinner, but I know that when I become thinner, my hip/ass fat will vanish, and I will no longer be attractive to heterosexual men... I can't say that doesn't matter to me, because it really does. I've never been on a successful date, and I feel as though I'm missing out on a huge portion of my life because I'm either too insecure about my body or because I really am an anathema to straight guys. I know that when I post on D-Listed, I can be very snarky, but in real life I'm very sensitive, and I feel that this thread hits close to home for me. This is part of what I end up pondering everyday.

Sometimes I think my face looks beautiful and will admire myself for a few minutes, but then I find myself lamenting on the shape of my body. I seriously believe that I have one of the ugliest bodies I've ever seen. I dress myself in oversized T-shirts not because I feel secure, but because I feel *safe*.

Whenever I thoroughly hide myself in large clothing, I know that no-one is judging my lack of hips and ass, or my weight problem because it's not visible. I personally hate the way I dress, but I'm too deeply ashamed to draw attention to my body. I'm so ashamed that on some nights that I'll begin to cry thinking about it and won't even look at myself in the mirror for days at a time. I feel like, for lack of a better word, a freak. There's no way straight guys can find me attractive, so I've been considering surgically enhancing certain parts of my body for a long time.

Whatever Karl Lagerfield says does not bother me at all. His statements are laughable to me, as though he believes he bears any kind of authority whatsoever on what's attractive and what isn't. However, while some girls are stressing on their body image because of the fashion industry, there ARE some of us who struggle with their body image equally because of Playboy and pornography. I've struggled with my self-esteem since I was eight years old, but pornography became the number one reason why I've become obsessed with my appearance. Men's pornographic standards have driven me to go for days without eating and to consider cosmetic surgery.

Everyone's so quick to blame the fashion industry, but everyone ignores the impact that the porn industry has had on women's body image.

this it what hugh heff did to women made them think that its all about chest and there fat if i ever met hugh and if he is reading this a lot of people have a bullet with your name on it small dick

I have to agree who think that type of form is even art. Now I have some friends in the past who were thin, but none looked like that. Their obvious elitest woman hating attitude seems to be praised and welcomed.. I think those type of people should be brought on trial for emotional abuse to women, for expecting them to try to damage their bodies and lives to live up to an impossible expectation. Maybe the women of the world will wake up and and fight back these types of people who say SICK SELLS... Nuff Said

that stick figure had me in tears. i needed a good laugh after reflecting on what is called my life. dlisted takes away the sads every time. now back to studying

I'd kill (someone mean) for that body on the right. Now as for the body on the left, heck, I'll take my chunky ole pearshaped junk any day. That picture makes Jack Skellington look chubby. Maybe if he went on a diet he could model for RL.

Princesaja said: "What bothers me is that the likes of Lagerfeld and Lauren, MEN who are basically into MEN,"...

um Ralph has been married for a long time and has three grown children. I know that means nothing these days, but I don't recall anything from the rumor mill ever saying he was "into" men.

What I don't get is why did they alter her image to make her look unnatural? Her image looks even more ridiculous than a Barbie doll.

MickeyHOlland...

What bothers me is that the likes of Lagerfeld and Lauren, MEN who are basically into MEN, wanna tell us how we should look.

you hit the nail on the freakin' head, girl.
I can only laugh at the ridiculousness of the whole situation. But what bothers me are the women who actually take what these idiots say into account, and actually believe that is how a woman is supposed to look.

Every man I know ( and I mean EVERY man) has said that a woman that looks like Jack Skelington is nasty as hell. Men like women with curves.

America is standing up to racism and prejudice nowadays. When will we finally say no to these fashion designers who are still trying to say that a size 0 is the norm?

Khensu Hetep, If a woman wears a small and can eat whatever she wants, she's one lucky girl in my book. I don't care what shape or size you come in, as long as you're happy and confident in your skin. What bothers me is that the likes of Lagerfeld and Lauren, MEN who are basically into MEN, wanna tell us how we should look. Growing up I was always unhappy with being a T&A kinda girl. I wanted my appearance to match my first name, Michelle, which I associate with being an elegant and petite brunette. I, however am as Dutch looking as they come. It took me years to accept myself, and I'm not about to let some old fart - or anyone else for that matter - bring me down. I hope that the same goes for every female commenter here, no matter how big your assets are. (P.S. I sincerely hope that you'll be able to read this reply, given the time difference between our continents.)

Believe it or not, I saw this model on Canal Street in New York the day this story broke. Yes, she was buying fake bags. No, she doesn't weigh more than a broom.

"You fat! You fat, you fat, you fat!"

My only real problem with the photoshopping is that they made her look like she has an eating disorder. If they could have found a body that fit her head maybe...

Ralph Lauren is one of those people who makes my job as Certified Dietitian to recovering anorexics alot harder.

And yet he still does not make my job as a certified hippo tamer any easier. Aren't we the pitiful lot, you and me? Hey let's meet and lick each others wounds sometimes.

Ralph Lauren is one of those people who makes my job as Certified Dietitian to recovering anorexics alot harder.

And to the person who is 5'10 and 120 LBS and thinks they need to lose weight, Get some counseling.

I've worked with people who started thinking like that.

Do you want to know the lasting damage Anorexia does to a body? Look it up.

@Khensu - gir'friend, you ALL woman. We little girls gots to sticl together (LOL).

I'm up again because the gamer-idiots in my household are cracked out on Mountain Dew. And my dogs had to pee.

I'm surprised to find women antagonizing women here. While I get that it's plausible for us not to give a donkey's dick about Filippa, I actually get what's making her angry about the decision.

I read in the interwebs somewhere (I think it was on Shine), that she was signed to RL when she was 15 = boyish figure, no boobies, no hips--- and the sample size for photoshoot etc was size 4. As she grew old, the sample became size 2, and then size 0, while her boobage and hips obviously grow wider as a healthy girl should. RL is definitely following the trend of using more skinny bones jones, just like the rest of the industry.

It's a shame really. Now what do I have to do with my Polo shirts (they're really nice T_T )

Her body looks fine unedited. There's nothing wrong with being thin if it looks natural and proportioned.

What I'm really sick and tired of is the expectation of being built like a fucking Barbie doll, which is ironically enough perpetuated by those of us who so galliantly ride into this thread on their fucking high horse defending a "healthy" body image for women while criticizing everyone else who doesn't have hip-to-waist ratio like Jessica Rabbit...but here's the real fucking shocker: some of us REAL women can't gain weight in our asses no matter how hard we try.

I wasn't aware that made me less of a woman, but thanks for making me feel more unattractive than I already do. I really needed more help with feeling repugnant to straight guys.

The only group of people with more unrealistic standards than neurotic fashion snobs are heterosexual men.

... Hamilton's lawyer, Geoffrey Menin, said the image is "gross distortion of how she really looks and which we fear will be extremely damaging to her." Hamilton is concerned about its impact on the public. ...

BITCH PLEASE - nobody knew you've ever existed before that comically photoshopincident, and most likely nobody WILL again know you've ever existed in 4 .. 3 ... 2 ...

Howzbout getting an actual job? One that does require actual elementary school skills like reading, writing, calculating, ... takling ... none of which are expected from a model, possibly with good reason.
Just in the spirit of talking about "role model for young girls" - who is and who is definitely not with what she aspires to do for a living.

Snideychick sez:

This just backs up my comment in the Kuntl Lagerfeld post; the "ideal" body for high fashion is unrelatable. That Ralph Lauren (who in not considered high fashion but ready-to-wear) would fire a model who is 5'10" and 120 lbs for being too large is ridiculous.

Ralph Lauren you just lost another customer and IN THIS ECONOMY I wonder if you can afford to?

I would feel sorry for her but I don't. I read somewhere that her dad's a Count and she's some Swedish countess. If the modeling thing is working out so what move on. Going on Today isn't going to make people want to hire her. If anything they'll stay away because she'll run to the press when something doesn't go her way.

Yes they fucked with her body but they do it with everyone. You're photoshoppers just aren't very good at their jobs, and this was in Japan where women are tiny. Maybe they wanted her to fit in?

It's so much cheaper and easier to starve than it is for some of us to rack up 5k for ass implants.

Sorry that not having enough T-and-A makes me less of a woman.

I'm sick and tired of all these captains of the so called "High Fashion Industry" imposing their view of the perfect female body on us. Don't diss it if you are not prone to appreciate it in the first place. For us women curves usually come with the package, and luckely for us most straight men have no objection to us looking like nature intended.

professional passing!!

hmmmmmmm so sorry for ya'll that have been trough tough times because of what the media dictates is nice , i used to work for a big fashion house once i finished fashion school , for all of you thinking losing wait or feeling inapropiate in their bodies , please don't , the fashion industry is ranked in so many levels and sadly models are at the bottom , unless you are giselle , but giselle is one i am a thousand , stop obsessing about this people is not worth it , really two dead brazilian sisters are enough proof of the manipulation and meat market that modeling agencies and designers have created .
and the house was owned by miuccia :(

Sadly this is nothing new. Thousands of young and slim women are replaced with even younger (13-14 year-olds) and skinnier girls every day. If you want to be a model you can't be over 110 or you'll be replaced in 5 seconds. There is no point in crying, it's just how the industry works.

Curves are hot.
RAWR!

I'm not even curvy and I'm 120 and 5'3". I have muscles and can lift things, walk, run, etc. Proud, fully functional female, less obnoxious than Tyra Banks. That's my flag and I'm wavin it.

O_o. Paris Hilton. Beware of my fucked up eye. It's bigger than the other.

Nothing against homosexuals, but the gays in fashion have been obsessed with the young male image and trying to make women fit into this horrific body standard.

Wake up men- women have BREASTS, HIPS, BELLIES and SHOULD BE CURVY.

No straight man would f*ck a woman that looked like that..and I know, having several male friends and five brothers. Every one of em have gone after a woman with curves and laugh at the skinny Olive Oil types.

michael i love you. this story & your drawing of their new ad melted my heart just a little. i can't believe they let that fatty on their runway! bahahahahaha oh society.

haha michael i almost died when i saw that stick figure XD

That photo-shopped picture is disgusting. I love the MK version, though.

I knew this girl in college also named Filippia. She was from South Africa. Beeutiful girl.

As someone else mentioned, this ad was originally only released in Japan. The dingbats at RL only tried to do damage control once people over here found out. They don't give a monkey's ass about promoting unachievable, unhealthy, and unrealistic body images to the masses...bump RL!
