Skinny Minny
So I was in line at the grocery store and saw an article about the new '90210' girls being uber skinny. I didn't read it at the time and didn't think too much about it but then I just saw the article again on MSN. I just think it's sad how the media praises women for achieving a certain weight but then attacks these girls for being so skinny. Obviously there is a weight loss/gain issue in society because when they are not talking about how skinny someone is they are talking about how much weight someone gained and that they look bad. If a person feels comfortable in their body, then good for them. The media is so nit-picky about weight that if they stopped portraying super skinny women or harassing larger women there most likely would not be so many problems with eating disorders and women (and some men) feeling like they have to look, dress, and be a certain size to be celebrity like.

I do have to agree that to the media the weight of many celebrities is important. Sometimes it can be a bad example for younger girls who are growing up. It can give a false image of beauty that people expect in women. I just think the media has to be careful on how they cover the stories.
