“My lips and fingers were blue because I was so thin that my heart had difficulty pumping blood through my body,” Georgina said (Carroll 1), teenage model. The new skinny has become excessively skinny. Isn't it really normal that the role models of today's society walk around with blue fingers, starving themselves until their organs start to fail! As for modeling agencies, they don't care about the pressure and dangerous practices they put models through to stay thin for the catwalk. Even fashion designers continue to produce the smallest couture samples and look for the slimmest bodies to wear these designs, without realizing the consequences of the pressure they put not only on the models, but also on the girls of society so that they look like these starving models. And when models continue to receive offers from the biggest fashion industries like Prada, it motivates them to continue doing what they do to stay in shape (Carroll 1). But the outside world didn't really know how much pressure models had and what they did to their bodies to pursue their modeling careers. Many people look at models' bodies and wish they were that skinny, many fashion designers want these petite bodies to represent their collection in their fashion show, and many fashion editors wish these bodies were on the front page of their magazines. Many of these people don't stop and think about how models manage to achieve and maintain such bodies. Brandi Koskie has been dieting for a long time and thought she had heard of all the fad diets, but then she came across the worst of them all, the "cotton ball diet" (Neporent 1). Except this crazy diet wasn't even a dice... middle of paper...... his organs were failing. But fashion designers were still lining up to book her. Now she is telling her story to shame the entire industry. " Daily Mail 2 10 2013, n. pag. Web. February 16, 2014. .Neporent, Liz. "Dangerous diet trend: the cotton ball diet.
