Skinny models, images and mannequins are no strangers to women (we've been assaulted by such "ideal" body sizes for years, haven't we, gals?), so some argue that it's natural that men should have to deal with this too, that it's just a sign of the times. In fact, male celebs have recently come under fire for their extra pounds (poor Gerard Butler). But, male or female, unrealistic images of body size bugs me--especially when such images, like the mannequins above, are meant to represent the "ideal" body.
Then again, it is mildly comforting knowing that women aren't in this alone, huh?
Let's talk male-female body standards. What do you make of these new super-skinny male mannequins?
P.S. Should too-skinny model images come with health warning labels? And, is it just me, or does it seem that every woman in America is getting breast implants. Plus, the outrage over padded swimsuit tops for little girls.
