The False Body Image Perception in Fashion Industry

I have just found this article on Yahoo:  https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/fashion/features/article/-/23498591/lingerie-brand-la-perla-removes-stick-thin-mannequin-after-online-outcry/
The luxury lingerie brand had displayed their underwear on a stick thin woman dummy.
They 'd gone too far by showing a skeleton-like mannequin wearing the lingerie; what message they wanted to send to young girls through the figure? Is it "Look at me, you should have ribs and bone sticking out like mine" body image message they wanted to tell teenagers? unfortunately, because of that, many girls will starve themselve till they become anorexics.
I have been in a lot of fashion shows and I have seen many stick thin flat chest models on runway; I think it would have to go a long way to change the body image perception in the unrealistic fashion world.

A Courage Plus Size Woman!

The Sydney Skinny is a fully ticketed event for swimmers and supporters in order to raise fund for the Foundational of NSW National Parks and Wildlife. The event will be on the 23rd of February this year, people who join it will swim naked. They are males, females, all shapes and sizes but among them, there is a courage plus size blogger, Pip Giles who is a size 22.

While constant media and fashion industry promote the beauty of slim women, they make plus size women feel like they are unwanted and the nice side of luscious curves are often overlooked.
Pip Giles thinks different! She is proudly to say "I'm a size 22 and I'm swimming naked". To her, the beauty of bodies depends on different perceptions, just like people with different personalities. Most of our women, thick or thin, are shy of exposing their naked bodies but this very brave lady wants to inspire other women by doing it for a cause. She wants to tell people, who are obsessed with their perfect body image, should stop thinking because it would be unachievable. 
Good on ya, Pip Giles!
