Re: DESINGERS MAKE WHAT LOOKS GREAT ON THEM!

@sidsmom  Sorry if you were offended. When Rachel had her show on Bravo, she talked about an eating disorder. She must weigh 100 lbs. soaking wet. My implication was that whether or not she does make S, M, L, etc. her clothes are designed to look best on someone quite thin like her.

Shanus,

I don't think you are quite grasping the offensiveness of referring to thin women as anorexic.

Some women are naturally quite lean. Some women may have a medical condition such as cancer that renders them quite thin.  

 

To blithely throw out the word "anorexic" when referring to a very thin woman is thoughtless and indeed, offensive.  It's just as offensive as throwing out stereotypes about overweight women.

 

Can you understand why your choice of words was wrong?
