I'm still wondering how anyone could be a size 0 and not keel over from anemia.

Meh, they've been saying what the article is mentioning about sizes for years now. I did a research paper on it about a year ago, in fact. Unless the models are made to pass a health test, many girls on the runway are underweight, and it's going to stay that way.

It's strange that in the modeling world that size 4 or 5 is treated as fat. I don't see it but I heard them say that they do want the girls to be hangers.

What's with all the fatties on the runway this year?

It's also not just the amount of fat on your body (although that helps) but it's your body frame too. I'm a size 10, but I could never be a size 4 or 2 because of my hips. These size 0 girls have no boobs or hips and afemminine.

If designers want their clothing to appear as it is meant to appear, they should be put on women with some curves, not clothing hangers.
