Hmm, I don't even know what to say about this. It appears that Ralph Lauren models have waists smaller than their heads lol. Just kidding, okay, so this picture caused a controversy over digital retouching and airbrushing. Her waist is obviously not smaller than her head, if that were the case, she would probably fall over because she wouldn't be able to support the weight of it. This brings up the topic of popular debate: is airbrushing okay in advertisements? Does this spawn body issues for young girls in our society? It's because of images like this that girls are dieting and developing eating disorders at earlier ages. What's sad is that it is for nothing. These images are not even real- these women are not that skinny. Girls see these fake images and try to attain the unattainable. They develop dangerous, sometimes fatal eating disorders to be like this fake girl. The girl in the image doesn't even look like a woman- she looks like a little girl- her hips look like the hips of a 10 year old, and her legs are the same size as her arms. That is neither healthy, nor normal.
