MTV asks wannabe models to lose weight
As if young girls didn't feel enough pressure to be thin, MTV is glorifying weight loss to achieve a model-esque figure with a new reality show.
The network's upcoming series "Model Makers" puts girls who are tall enough to be models — just not skinny enough — through 12 weeks of intense training to help them get down to their ideal size.
Women must be between 17 and 24 years old, 5'9" to 6' tall and 130-190 pounds to enter. A 5’9” woman weighing 130 pounds has a Body Mass Index of 19.2. The healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9.A 5’9” woman weighing 130 pounds has a Body Mass Index of 19.2. The healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9.
The show, which is currently casting, will begin taping in September and air sometime next year.
Here's an excerpt from the press release I received:
"Women come in all shapes and sizes, but models don't. The term model conjures an image of stick-thin, towering beauties oozing confidence, glamour, poise and sexuality from every pore. "Skinny," "no body fat," and "size zero" are the words and phrases associated with models. "Chubby," "well-fed," and "big- boned" are not."
It goes on to say, "With weekly eliminations looming, models must put their best foot forward at all times while staying focused on losing weight."
A show rep responded by saying, "The goal of the show is for women who have the potential to be a model by losing weight in a healthy and realistic time span. Ideally we are not accepting model-thin girls for the competition just women who have a little extra weight and are ready to do what it takes to become the next supermodel."
Model manager Michael Flutie will spearhead the "transformations." The winner will receive $100,000, a modeling portfolio, a personal trainer for a year and "the chance to jumpstart the career of your dreams."

| | | maybe you've all had a sort of confidence with your body.
i've had problems with the way i looked throughout most of my life, especially during my teenage years. i no longer do, but if something lik that was on the air when i was 16 im sure i would've felt so bad i dont even want to think about it. |

| | | i was watching inside edition today and they had this girl on there who started runway modeling at the age of 12 and by the age of 16 her career was over because they wanted a size 0 not a size 4.
in what fucked up universe is a size 4 fat?!
it really pissed me off.

| | | See, I totally get that. That is beyond fucked up. The unrealistic standards aren't right. But, just like some people can't be amazing gymnasts or ballerinas because of their size, the same goes for modeling. |

im utterly upset by the fact that the geniuses at mtv felt the need to show the world that chubby girls need to lose weight in order to be considered WORTHY.
i know it's in order to be 'models' but do we need that? cause in the end i'll just gonna be
skinny = beautiful
not a size zero = ugly ass fat bitch
and it's just wrong. as if their other highly educational and cultural show werent aldready pepretrating that idea |

| | | Well I mean, the social embarrassment of it all should teach those bitches a thing or two by supporting this crap and going on it. After "charm school" I really didn't think mtv's reality shows ccould stink worse. |

I'm not sure if overly skinny models should be banned, because I know some scarwny bitches that can't gain weight, no matter what(jealous glare). But, the anorexia or drug addicted ones, which are by far more popular, shouldn't be rewarded.
I like the fact that they are going throught the process of diet and exercise to get to where you want to be. It's so much easier, in a way, just to not eat and do drugs.  |

| | | Models need to be super skinny. So what? That's why most of us aren't models. That isn't offensive. Putting this shit on TV is what's offensive. |
