Are we human anymore? How on earth can anyone in her right mind feed on TISSUE so that she will remain thin and be the super model she thinks make her a better person?
I just can’t fathom the extent some people are ready to go for fashion and their careers, even if it involves killing themselves.
Daily Mail Reports;
For those who puzzle over how supermodels stay so whippet thin, a former Vogue editor has lifted the lid on the horrific lengths some go to to maintain their wispy waistlines and cut-glass hipbones.
Kirstie Clements, sensationally fired from her role as editor of Australian Vogue last May, has written a tell-all book about the fashion industry, claiming some models eat tissue paper to feel full, starve themselves for days on end, spend frequent stints on hospital drips, and are often so weak with hunger they struggle to keep their eyes open.
As reported by Georgia Graham in the International Business Times, The Vogue Factor also explains that within the fashion world there is ‘thin’, and then there is ‘Paris thin’ – a term that describes the size of a model who has starved their already fragile body down two dress sizes in order to be cast in big oversea shows.
In her controversial tome, Clements says she once spent three days on a shoot with a model who didn’t see her eat a single meal – and that on the final day she could barely stand or keep her eyes open.
She also reveals how an Russian model once told her that her flat mate was a ‘fit’ model – a model whose body is used by top designers for clothes-fittings – and therefore spent lots of time on a drip.
Clements spent 25 years at Australian Vogue – her book’s subhead is ‘from front desk to editor’ – and steered the ship for 13 of them.
Her departure was sudden – she was called to a meeting and dismissed, forced to clean her office and leave without bidding farewell to her staff – and she was replaced quickly by Edwina McCann, editor of Harper’s Bazaar.
Clements describes her sacking simply as a ‘regime change’ that was part and parcel of the dramatic Vogue narrative, but some critics believe the new book – her first – is her way of exacting revenge on the Rupert Murdoch-owned title.
No amount of money promised to me will make me eat some damn TISSUE in life!
Kleenex is made from paper which contains cellulose. Cellulose can be converted to carboxymethyl cellulose. Carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a thickener in food products.
Basically what the size zero freaks are doing is stuffing themselves with fiber and drinking water to feel full. Of course they are starving themselves.
I wonder how many live beyond 50?
@Dr. Miyagi, SMH….its a crazy world.
Well I’m not surprised she looks dead. The world is too obsessed with things which are not reality and its so sad to know ppl are aspired to be this. Where money and fame can take a person is too Mach to fathom
