Sadness

So I was having a conversation with a co-worker today about the influence the modeling industry and acting industry has on our society. This past weekend we were working a convention in which a young lady came to recieve a free massage and stood up after the massage to fall right down on the ground. When she came to she could not remember the last time she had eaten anything........what the........how long was that, she was representing a modeling agency at the convention. So many of us hear stories about things like this, however most never experience it.

It is ok to look beautiful and modeling is a wonderful way for men and women to make a living. However when is enough actually enough. When do you as a model decide that you are the one that has to live in that body, no one is going to do it for you. Don't you know, please open your eyes and see that you are precious, that you are beautiful, that you are special, and it is ok to take care of yourself. If you think not eating before a shoot or show is being healthy, do some research and talk to a few Doctor's and listen to waht they tell you. As I look through profiles of top models of today, i see the same thing over and over, unhealthy physical conditions. As I well know it is also not healthy to be obese either, we should care about ourselves enough to take care and look after the only body we get, this is it, if you think your getting another body here on this earth you are slightly mistaken. Love yourself, it's ok, you can, and when you don't there is a God that loves your more than anyone ever will, without reason, just because he loves you and wants to see you happy. Who you ask...........Jesus Christ thats who, if you don't know who Christ is, just write me a message and I would be glad to tell you.

Thanks for taking the time to read this if you did

Seriously.... I give kudos to the companies like Dove who are making their models more "real" =)
