So many people nowadays get penalised for being too skinny. Everyone seems to promote being bigger but they forget that being overweight is just as unhealthy as being overweight. I understand that skinny models don't help others body image but who actually aspires to look like that. I certainly don't know anyone and the fashion industry is, currently, so inaccessable that many people think of it as another world, something unobtainable and almost fairytale like. Truth be told, the clothes that are designed within the fashon industry look decidedly better on thin models and why should they sacrifice a small part of their art?

I absolutely love Ali Micheal. The way that she faced up to her eating problems and overcame both anorexia and bulimia even with the pressures of the industry on her shoulders. The way that she was sent home from Paris was brutal and these photos show that even when she is slightly larger than before she still looks as, if not more, beautiful and can still model. She's an inspiration to me.
