What Is This Saying to Young Women?

The battle to convince young women that curves are natural and healthy gets harder and harder. Take the recently published pictures of the actress Lindsay Lohan, showing a stick-thin girl who looks as if a small breeze would knock her down. Photographers weren't even impressed because they moved around to get pictures from the front, where there was a bit more area-space to photograph.



So much for looking like a "real woman". Real women don't look like that. Real women have curves, stretch marks, love handles, buddha bellies and cellulite. Obese is not good either, but young women aspire to look like celebrities, and Lohan is no real model for the perfect figure.
