N.Y. is considering banning ultrathin fashion models. Council member Gail Brewer wants fashion houses to ban any model with a body mass index of less than 18.5 -- the cutoff for the World Health Organization's definition of "normal."

It's bad enough with airbrush mania, without them trying to make models look that deformed in the first place, I reckon

Being a model is co0l..When we hear the word model our concepts, they are tall, good looking and thin but too much thin is not good. As a model they are very conscious on their weight and body figure. A lot of model harm their health through dieting too much. I idolize model so much most specially in fashion and foods because tha's my interests..hehehe...
