How is Nigeria? <BR/><BR/>They're still very much with us and there's a massive campaign to make them eat properly with some companies employing nutritionists. Save for a few modeling agencies that are still keen on the stick figure, many of them are now saying no.<BR/><BR/>But a few models who are not in these pictures have unfortunately passed away as a direct result of malnutrition. There's a link in the post to a sad story of two sisters who died of heart attacks occasioned by malnutrition. Can you imagine that?Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-37827268658572061602008-07-15T06:14:00.000+03:002008-07-15T06:14:00.000+03:00I will like to know what happened to those models ...I will like to know what happened to those models on the post.<BR/><BR/>Are they still with us in the land of the living?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-38487664057778469162008-07-14T11:15:00.000+03:002008-07-14T11:15:00.000+03:00wellas they say, the best form of flattery is imit...well<BR/><BR/>as they say, the best form of flattery is imitation and i add the best form of defense is an outstanding rival/competing product so rather than bash these skeletal postures, why not link us (provide links not dating service please) to our very own healthy beauty pageants and catwalk supremos<BR/><BR/>http://fafakenya.org/fashion.html<BR/><BR/>kenyans ni wetu, wonder what went wrongUrXlnchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975473173690337119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-39792009272307684622008-07-14T07:57:00.000+03:002008-07-14T07:57:00.000+03:00Bong peer pressure can really do bad things to you...Bong peer pressure can really do bad things to young girls. <BR/><BR/>Our girls I doubt will go there.

If you do si you leave a link we pay you a visit?<BR/><BR/>Yeah Seinlife I read too that Paris is still trying to stick to the waif-like model. I guess because the girls are all bones and look like a hanger in a closet. But they also wont be able to carry on like that if there's enough pressure from the rest of the world. At least other countries are changing that. Israel, Russia, India, Brazil and many more.<BR/><BR/>Mcheku hahahaha. The bedroom affairs let the guys tell us that one. I don't understand the western obsession with J-Lo's butt either. That size of butt is the order of the day here!! <BR/><BR/>I don't think the African girls are going that route although they're also told what to eat and what not to eat. <BR/><BR/>Nairobian someone sent me those photos on E-mail some time back. But according to snopes.com, they've been modified to look thinner than they actually are.Shiko-Msahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220304153256382144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-38607767095030472572008-07-13T09:24:00.000+03:002008-07-13T09:24:00.000+03:00Fashion houses may just be looking for the models ...Fashion houses may just be looking for the models who can use the least amount of material for their attire. I dont know how someone would want to emaciate themselves to such an extent! Now that third model in the picture wajameni?! I dont want to be rude but surely what does her spouse shikaa when they engage in bedroom affairs? Si he must feel bones poking (and injuring him!) all over the place aaaah hiyo wacha ikae! <BR/><BR/>I hate the fact that the west wants to dictate everything from trade policies to democratic process to clothes we wear and even define beauty! I think big is beautiful(of course not obese)and I have been trying to gain weight for the longest time and now I think its coming....even if its polepole.<BR/><BR/>I dont know whether this beauty thing we shall ever agree. They tell us how big bottoms (very african) are not ideal yet they all envy Beyonce and J-Lo, even though J-Lo bottom is just a big fuss for nothing. They talk about how thin is beautiful yet they run to have boob jobs! <BR/><BR/>You can never win with those people. Let the western model houses define their things kwanza with those live skeletons of theirs and we shall define ours the way we want. <BR/><BR/>I hope to see that health certificate requirement catch on.Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288215409363459147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-62229569558396877412008-07-12T14:08:00.000+03:002008-07-12T14:08:00.000+03:00Eish those photos!Love this site..nice postsEish those photos!<BR/><BR/>Love this site..nice postsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-2865234484011490652008-07-12T09:44:00.000+03:002008-07-12T09:44:00.000+03:00those photos are scary, i wouldnt date a skinny st...those photos are scary, i wouldnt date a skinny stick figure no matter what the enticement!!!!!wanjiku- where did you get the photos from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-17392142153969142552008-07-11T22:45:00.000+03:002008-07-11T22:45:00.000+03:00Seeing those models made me gag!

The west certainly needs to redefine beauty. <BR/>I read somewhere (sorry i don't have a link) that Paris is sticking with the ultra thin models and have ignored the calls to hire healthy models - such a shame!<BR/>I don't really understand how a designer would see his/her garment on an emanciated model as a good thing - especially since it doesn't reflect the image of those he/she is targeting marketing-wise, or is it?<BR/>Let's just hope african girls don't start to follow suit with this rubbish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373373952959068614.post-51292845806568641282008-07-11T20:46:00.000+03:002008-07-11T20:46:00.000+03:00Neema where've you been?
