Malgosia Bela Rocks Zombie Androgyny

thumbmalgosianwang

Malgosia. Babe. You’re so fine. You are so rocking the zombie androgyny thing, with your boot sandals which resemble sort of implied sock garters with strappy heels, trouser shorts, transparent shirt that makes it look like you have monochromatic nipps, dudely slouch, and spread leg tunic stance.

But darling. You look weary, and maybe a little on the concerned Frankenstein side with your furrowed brow, and possibly from some angels like the zombie plague gotcha just as you were suiting up for your Alexander Wang shoot and we don’t say that to all the models. You need to get in a hot tub with Justin TImberlake and have a green smoothie or pastrami spread from Katz’s or whatever models do to restore and regenerate.

    please feed this model. That can’t be healthy. I want to send her a pizza.

      Just like it’s not okay to criticize models for being fat, we’re also not okay with criticizing models for being thin. Some people are just thin, and their health is between them and their doctor, not you.

      I’m not criticizing HER, I am really criticizing the fashion industry. I truly think she has to be starving herself to stay THAT thin. I worry about these images further encouraging the “pro-ana” community that seems to be growing among many very young women, and I’d like to see more healthy body images in fashion. Fashion doesn’t seem to be aware of the huge influence their images have on young women. I know there are more than a few models who survive mostly on cigarettes and Diet Coke.

      thumbs down? really? is there ANY way of expressing an opinion on here that isn’t 100% positive that will NOT get you called out? For God’s sake, I wasn’t calling her hideous or repulsive, I was trying to make a point that I think the fashion industry should be more responsible with the images it presents. Do you think that the “pro-ana” community is a GOOD thing? Girls who actively strive for protruding ribs and hipbones, give each other tips on how to throw up and how to hide your body from your parents, and call Kate Upton a “fat cow” because she has breasts and hips?

      “Please feed this model” is not intelligent discourse, it’s body shaming. So yes, there is a way to make the point you made above, and it wasn’t the way you made it.

      To answer your question: no, I don’t think that pro-ana is good, and no, I don’t think that the fashion industry has the healthiest standards. But I also don’t think that the appropriate response to that is to shame women who you, personally, declare to be too thin. You have *no idea* what this woman’s diet and health and lifestyle are, to announce that she needs to be fed is just about as shitty as someone announcing that someone they declare to be too fat needs to go on a diet.

      (And i have no idea who downvoted you, please don’t get hung up on that.)

      I will admit to not quite being “sensitive” in my initial posts, but I honestly hadn’t considered it “body shaming”- I remember when Kate Moss first came out, and everyone went on and on about her being skinny and disappearing when she’s turned to one side, but I don’t think she really got offended by it. Considering that she’s still modeling today, with more curves, she obviously got the last laugh on her detractors. In any case, believe me, it was NOT my intention to “shame” the model. Maybe she DOES have an ultra-fast metabolism and doesn’t starve herself and live on caffeine and cigarettes; I DID have a high school friend like that. I think what really bothered me about those images is that they tried to make her look like the living dead, and if it had been ME who was made-up and photographed that way, I’D have been offended. But I suppose that’s my own issue.

    The “heroin chic” look was not good the first time around…….please, no revival.
