On Skinny French Ladies:

April 15, 2008

Thanks, France!

This is problematic. But I love that this is on the national agenda in France!

Thinness in the media has gotten insane, as I’m sure everyone is well aware of. Is it the Government’s place to protect the mental health of (mostly) young women?  I’m not usually huge on censorship. But in this case (especially since it originates in France, couture capital) it could make large strides towards shifting the beauty standard to realistic again. Could be really bad.
