I was shocked to read of her dramatic weight loss during the competition. How ridiculous to be reading of something like that happening in 2008, it seems once again those involved in Australian Fashion & Modeling simply show how archaic they are in attitudes and worldwide awareness, by critisising a young aspiring talent in such a way to make her self conscious enough to do such a thing.

To have measurement pre-requisites like this for such a competition in this day and age is a joke.

It reminded me very much of another recent article, regarding a South American Top Model who last Summer was rejected for all the casting calls attended for Milan Fashion Week, the reason being that thew likes of Prada had pre-set ideas of size and currently looked at only slim, blonde, tall models. This again is crazy, does not represent Women’s modern attitudes (And I’m a Guy) and sets back the Fashion & Modeling Industries by decades.
