Another word play tee for the collection. In short, a comment on the whole Size Zero debate and the debacle that ensued. It seems that most of the media can’t come to terms with exactly how ordinary the world is. Sure there are a few soap ads featuring larger sized women, perhaps some other token efforts by savvy marketing gurus have made it through, but I haven’t seen any. Fashion is the worst culprit when it comes to presenting faked realities. If there’s one thing I know, if all women looked had today’s model figure, you can bet they have starved and exercised themselves half to death to achieve it. Women worry about their weight because the women they aspire to are younger, taller and thinner than they ever were..
As I’ve got older I’ve been more and more revolted by the starved-look lifestyle that the media still continues to promote. No healthy woman can maintain a size zero for the rest of their life, in fact few get anywhere near that. I was almost to include a girl vomitting in this image just to hit the message home. It seemed heavy handed, and besides I want to keep it humorous for the wider audience, no one wants an image of a model puking over their t-shirt. Or do they?
