Flawed Logic

diane.jpgHere's a great way to measure someone's potential as a supermodel: Force her to obsess about a body part she hates, discuss it at length, then make her flaunt it in a plastic surgery-themed photo shoot (a la Italian Vogue last July). Token "plus-size" stunner Diane was dealt the harshest blow on "Top Model" last night as she was brought to tears from painfully taping down her large bust for the shoot. She was later eliminated for "not being able to hide her flaws as well as the other girls." Um, isn't that what air-brushing is for?

I always thought it was unfair or out of place for plus sized models to be on the type of competition that top model is.

And that they should come up with another show for plus sized girls to compete in.

It's not a level playing field. I don't think so anyway. It's not like, if they were out in the real world there would be designers who would chose a big girl over a really skinny girl unless they showcased that kind of clothing.

It's just cruel. How would things be if the situation was reversed?

But those are just my thoughs.
