I Want to Know Beauty is of All Sizes
Target:
Fashion Industry of America
Sponsored by:
We all see the models on the catwalk. Some of them are dangerously skinny, almost anorexic. There are numerous cases where the models die. Thousands of young girls and women die because of eatting disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Why? Because they are all trying to compete with the image that beauty is only a size 0 or size 1.
I am asking you to sign this petition so I can print it out and send it to the Fashion Industry of America to show them that we are tired of having the size 0, anorexic girls on the catwalk. We want real models that represent the true American woman. Realistically, not all women look like the models. What happened to their representation on the catwalk?
Sign this petition if you want your voice heard or to show the fashion designers that you are tired of having the image of beauty being distorted.
Sign this petition if you want to challenge the fashion designers to create clothes for the average American woman.
Sign this petition if you know a friend or family member that has died because of any eatting disorders or if you want to stop all the preventable deaths caused by eating disorders.
Sign this petition if you want to protect your children's future.

*As a note of the videos, these videos belongs to Dove. I just wanted to put this up there to show that the media is now affecting young children unlike ever before.
*As a note of the signature goal, it is set at 1 million because that is roughly about how many people in the US die of this disease annually. I've read that 5 million people have the disease and about 20% of them die. That number comes to 1 million. Finding the exact number of people who care means that we can make the difference. And we can make the difference. Because the world was only ever changed by devoted individuals.

I am all for this petition. Real beauty can never be imposed as it is being done now. We all are different and look different, but this diversity is the basis of our strength and beauty. There are different body types and so, everyone can not be skinny as so many models are. The truth is, only 'Ectomorph' and 'Mesomorph' body types can look thin, beacuse they naturally are. So, even the models who do not have 'Ectomorph' or 'Mesomorph' body type try too hard to be skinny and resultant they die or get seriously ill! Do you wanna do that to yourself?! Other body types have their own beauty! They are curvaceous! Being an ectomorph, I confess that I really appreciate the beauty of other body types immensely! I create high fashion apparel for all body types, and they all look simply stunning! Bless you all, and especially the person who started this petition. - A Fashionista belonging to 'Ectomorph' body type

The obsession with size 0 is absolutely crazy and very dangerous and yet we see everyday it represented as beautiful. This distorted image has to stop otherwise the mortality rates are going to increase very soon. Western society is obsessed with staying young and skinny. Please stop this now and lets look forward to a brighter and healthier future.

My cousin has made herself throw up so much after meals that now she is sick all the time and is losing her voice, all because she was pressured to become super skinny so she'd look "sexy". It is not right.

The anorexic look has been popularized by the very thin models and actresses. How ever, that look actually came about when clothing designers realized, way back in the 1920s, that the curvy beautiful models employed for runway work were actually taking attention away from the clothes. They decided to use thin models that wouldn't look attractive and try to keep the focus where the designers wanted it. As time passed, the eager public that always seems to have needed to emulate someone, chose to emulate the thin models. As time passed, the models became thinner and thinner and the idiot public continues to try to copy them. The women that men actually found the most attractive though, haven't been the super skinny ones. Marilyn Monroe as an example was a size 12-14. Certainly far from heavy, but also far from a size 0.

Skinny is not sexy, skeletons belong in haunted houses or science classes, not runways!

I've been so skinny that I almost died. When I was in college I had anorexia. Now I weigh over 200 pounds and am equally unhappy. There has to be a middle ground and we have to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes. Women are beautiful, not only in their physically attributes. We should be recognized for our strength and many other attributes.

I felt lovely at 110 pounds during my teens and early 20's. I felt lovely at 130 pounds after the birth of my first child. Recently my grandson colored a picture in his book and titled it "Grandma." I was surprised to see it was Poo Bear and asked my grandson why he said it was me. Raphael explained that Poo Bear is brown, cuddly, and lovely like me! Big is also beautiful!

God didn't create us to all look alike nor to be the same size. I recall seeing pictures lately of some models that honestly looked as if they were at deaths door they were so seriously underweight. It is your industry that is driving our children and young women to think there is something wrong with them if they aren't tiny. DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR A CHANGE!
