Skinny Love

As humans we all get engrossed in whatever we do and love. If you are a scholar, you strive to have a brilliant mind, if you are a comedian you strive to have great personality, if you are a politician you strive to have a good  reputation, and as a model, you strive to be thin. Of course lots of people strive to be thin, not just models, but what I've come to realize is not everyone has the same mindset when it comes thin. Generally girls want to be skinny, they might try starving themselves for a couple days then go back to normal, however girls in fashion take it very seriously. I myself have adapted to this mindset, honestly probably through tumblr. I blog about 50 images per day, and run a primarily fashion related feed, being 90% models and girls under 100 pounds. When you spend most of your day submerged in these images, some may say you get brainwashed, which may be true, but I have really just come to embrace it. People who really truly live for fashion also live to be thin. They really don't eat. There is no healthy secret. They barely eat. However it is not anorexia, it is a lifestyle choice. They live for the image, the clothes, they themselves are art. They want to look a certain way to evoke a certain image. For the general population, being 90 pounds is not a healthy, realistic, or an attainable goal, however living in Los Angeles, going to fashion school, and becoming an avid blogger I have come to realize that for myself, I understand it. It is one of those things that you choose to do or not to do in your life. It's not an easy thing to do, you can lose it at any time, however being thin to trendy people is the same as being brilliant to the scholar, funny to the comedian, or having a good reputation to the politician. Its not a size, it's an image and personality. It is a measure of success and commitment to the fashion world.
