It seems like the High Fashion side of modelling is always getting negative publicity. What irks me is that there are people out there who are using this as an avenue to justify their unhealthy living. They are happy to sit back with their Big Mac and complain about stick thin models on runways with a size 0.

Its fine if the model is obviously anorexic, but those who have a healthy BMI but are slimmer than your average get lumped together with them as well - all because of their insecurity.

I am,of course, referring here to people who choose not to exercise but instead opt to justify their unhealthy eating habits, lifestyle and existence.

Yea, there's sort of a smoking culture going on among models unfortunately due to the inherent nature of the job.

The whole industry is really inefficient and slow and most of the time you're just rushing to wait in order to wait to rush.

So there's literally heaps of free time to kill. And if you consider the fact that there are heaps of 16-17 year old girls coming in young and impressionable, its quite easy to get sucked in to the whole drugs/smoking/partying thing.
And did I mention that smoking kills appetite when you haven't had breakfast and its near dinner time?

I'm not condoning why most of them smoke, nor am I giving an excuse for it. Its just the way it is. But its not all as bad as what people make it out to be.
