Wow. I knew Janice Dickinson was a nut job, but I didn't know that she actively wished eating disorders on children.
Seriously. This is a direct quote from an article in the New York Post by Deborah Starr Seibel - "'I'm dying to find kids who are too thin. I've got 42 models in my
agency and I'm trying to get them to lose weight. In fact, I wish
they'd come down with some anorexia.' When you laugh at such
politically incorrect statements, Dickinson yells back, 'I'm not
kidding. I'm running into a bunch of fat-assed, lazy little bitches who
don't know how to do the stairs or get their butts into the gym'. "
I have spent a lot of time on my personal blog complaining about what the media is doing to kids and bitching that nobody should be surprised that so many adolescent and teenaged girls (and now even much younger children) end up with anorexia or bulimia.
With all the talk on banning ultra-thin models, I had started believing that the fashion industry might be trying to promote healthier body images. But then I read about Janice Dickinson. My point being, nobody, for the love of God, sign your daughter (or son) up with Janice Dickinson's modeling agency.
