HALLO! HEADLINE NEWS STORY ALERT!!
Having a friend who was also a model, when her body changed and they told her to lose weight, she told them to shove it and stopped modeling and still is gorgeous as ever and I do not buy that none of this is envy. I've been around too many women for far to long while they state oh I wish I had your boobs, or some other body part like it would magically make their life better not grasping that accepting the lot you drew in life makes your life better. I've been threatened with too many beatings from women becuase their man "looked at me" or suffered insults at the hands of women or chants of he only likes you because you have big boobs. No man ever made me feel bad about my appearance, but plenty of ladies always tried to find something to make me as unhappy about my appearance as they must have been about theirs. Women sit around bitching constantly about this or that body part, that's why I tend to prefer the company of men.
Now we know there is at least ONE smart woman on this Godforsaken planet. The one who wrote the above WISE observations.
Contrary to what your feminist task masters have trained you women to think, men are not your worst enemy on this planet. YOU YOURSELVES ARE.

Some states still have a dichotomy between when a person is able to consensually have sex and when they may be photographed nude
For example, in some places, it's perfectly acceptable for a 15 year old (or younger) to marry with the consent of a parent and have sex. However, should her spouse photograph her in state of undress, he could be prosecuted. Not a typical scenario, but it does happen.

Oh geez AKA
If there was nothing to be done about your cousin's illness why bring it up in the context of modeling, unless your reasoning is modeling is evil cause those girls are skinny and see it made my cousin sick because she couldn't naturally maintain that thinness. Plus there is no consensus of the causes of eating disorders and most people are sent to therapy to try to treat the disorder so excuse my lay knowledge of classifying not eating under a mental condition considering no bacteria or virus made her stop eating.
Oh and since you are pretty and none of those things ever happened to you I must be associating with the wrong people, really why not tell your friends about their husbands hitting on you and see where those wives place the blame, more than half of them will place it squarely on you and I assume that's why you don't tell them their husbands are sleazy louts, are you associating with the wrong kind of people because none of my friends husbands have hit on me? Since when did attending high school, college or an over 100 guest party or going to a nightclub or bar mean I choose who's there? These were strangers or classmates, not my friends. The female friends I have aren't insane.
I do think a lot of women complaining about how skinny she is is envy because the title of the blog post is child porn or edgy art, and many people decided to go off on tangents of how unsexy the model is, how skinny she is and ew, how icky. Instead of just saying, no it's not/yes it's porn or I don't think it's appropiate to show under 18 girls partially nude.
If there was no envy involved why bring up her weight? Her weight has absolutely nothing to do with the abilty to classify these photos as pornography or as a high fashion art pictorial or just average advertisements.
I see it as a common habit that when women see an image or real life woman, somebody says she's attractive all she seems to think is "I don't look like that, that must mean I'm not attractive" so they put their hackels up and find a reason that person isn't attractive like look how bony she is, ewww so they can go back into their I am attractive mode.
Yeah, anon again.

Sorry for not being clearer. I brought it up because my cousin was a model and I believe modeling (or rather her yearning to be a thin, successful model) contributed to her illness. When you said mental illness, naturallly I thought you meant something besides the anorexia and bulimia I had already mentioned. The mental illnesses that are usually not related much to one's environment are the schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. These we know for sure. Others, we really don't.

I never saw any need to hurt my friends. It was their husbands who were acting inappropriately and not them. Since you seem to like following my posts, why don't you use your username so that I may follow yours? I didn't mean to offend you, but I just never had some woman try to fight me or cuss me out even over some man. I tend to get along well with women and I never poach.

It is amazing to me that you cannot comprehend that women, who have been young, and sometimes foolish, and, yes, thin, might be concerned about the health of younger women who allow body image, fashion, and a desire to be desired impact their well-being. I am not attacking the modeling industry. I am merely suggesting it do a better job of thinking about it's employees.
If there was no envy involved why bring up her weight? Her weight has absolutely nothing to do with the abilty to classify these photos as pornography or as a high fashion art pictorial or just average advertisements.
Actually, I think it does. If this girl had really big breasts, I think our sense of the photos and their appropriateness would have been different -- but that is another subject altogether. Why must you persist in thinking only envy prompted concerns about her weight? Have you had no relationships with women that did not involve envy?
I see it as a common habit that when women see an image or real life woman, somebody says she's attractive all she seems to think is "I don't look like that, that must mean I'm not attractive" so they put their hackels up and find a reason that person isn't attractive like look how bony she is, ewww so they can go back into their I am attractive mode.
What a bizzarely competitive world you must live in! Also, you seem to be able to read other women's minds. Amazing accomplishment. Or is it projection instead?
