Default Re: "For Fear Of . . . "

Forgeting the government involvement for a minute, I think we can see a trend over here.

Something I heard in a cool workshop some time back. The old cool and suave James Bond is dead. The new James Bond is Jason Bourne. He isn't perfect. He gets nightmares. Has amnesia. And drives banged up cars.

The last James Bond movie was a big flop. People are tired of perfectionism. They want authenticity. "Be real."

I think that just like James Bond - paper thin models are enjoying their last few days. The government in Spain stepped in. But even if they hadn't, the designers, organizers etc will get rid of skinny models pretty very soon.

The first designer who manages to make "real" girls look as sexy as thin models will become huge. And the rest will then follow.
