that's so great!! man, it's terrible here. the models here in the US in magazines are so thin it's incredible...their bodies are literally like clothes hangers. in high school, i had a book of them. i just sat there all day, cut of pictures of these sickly girls, pasted them in a notebook and became obsessed. that's the problem here, they make everybody think it's actually safely attainable to look like that--and ATTRACTIVE, no less. and nothing is ever done to stop it. you guys seem to have everything so together in the Netherlands. i also like how the mannequins there look like actual women. send me on the next plane, lol!! i'll have less to complain about =)
