Size Zero Not for Indian Women
October 6, 2008
<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilpa_Shetty”>Shilpa Shetty (of Big Brother fame) blasts the concept of size zero in this video, stating that “Indian women cannot be size zero.”
Addendum: Unless you are petite and flat-chested.
I think it is high-time. What began as a cultural phenomenon in the United States with a group of ultra-thin fashion models on the catwalk has pretty much descended to all parts of the globe remotely connected to the ‘fashion world.’ I am glad to see some celebrities take a stand and denounce this image of women — we don’t need more girls with low self-esteem and eating disorders.
P.S. Who missed me? I am retaking the LSAT in December *ducks* and this time I will decimate it! But I won’t neglect this blog or any of my online work anymore!
