If shop mannequins were real women, THEY'D BE TOO THIN TO MENSTRUATE.
There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and ONLY 8 WHO
DO.
Marilyn
Monroe wore a SIZE 12.
If
Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
The
average American woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12 and
14.
One out of every 4 college aged women has an eating disorder.
The models in the magazines are airbrushed-- EVEN THEY'RE NOT PERFECT!!
A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at models
in a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and
shameful.
Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman, today's
models weigh 23% less than the average woman.
Scary world we live in, isn't it?
The moral of the story is, love yourself for who you are and not what you look like.
As one of my co-workers said (while looking straight at me..go figure) "a man tires of beauty in three days, and gets used to ugliness in three days."
