"I think its outrageous, I understand they want to set this tone of healthy beautiful women, but what about discrimination against the model and what about the freedom of the designer?"
- Cathy Gould, of New York's Elite modeling agency, reacting to a Madrid fashion show's decision to turn away models whose BMI is too low.

Hey Cathy! You wanna hire me? Oh... I'm too short and too fat? No one would want to see me on the runway, huh?

Guess what. We don't want to see those poor bony girls, either. Go let them eat a sandwich and get over it. If the designer wants to design clothes that only look good on a clothes hanger, just let them display their art on hangers in a nice museum somewhere. Otherwise, they should consider going to the effort of designing clothes that look good on people.
