She's a Model and She's Looking Good

The next time someone says, "Why, your precious little angel is cute enough to be a Gerber (TM, I'm sure) baby!" just wheel around and snarl, "We only pose for organic in our house." Okay, so maybe you wouldn't say that, but the parents of fifty Colorado babies and toddlers might. Each was chosen from 1,000 online entries to vie for a chance to have his or her face plastered all over organic baby food jars. The next face of organic baby food! It's all about having the right head shots and representation, I hear. The statewide winner will compete against contestants from other states. Apparently the talent competition is a little lackluster, what with most of the contestants going for a piss-poor rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

The mom of one lucky 7-month-old entrant said she "jumped up and down" when she heard they were chosen, and she "had her daughter to take a nap before her photo shoot so that she’d be alert and rested." I think I heard Kate Moss' handler say the same thing the other day. Stay away from the coke, babies, even if they tell you it's pesticide-free.

Just curious: Would you have your baby or toddler model?

Janice Dickinson Wants Your Kids to be Anorexic

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.
