Are models too skinny—or not skinny enough? Print E-mail

After the death of Ana Carolina Reston last year, some fashion houses have discussed a ban on stick-thin models. (One major fashion show in Madrid banned models with a BMI below 18; Reston’s BMI at the time of her death was 13.5.) But one former supermodel doesn’t support the idea. In fact, she thinks it’s time for models to get even skinnier.

Surprise, surprise—I’m talking about Janice Dickinson. Girl loves nothing more than a good scandal, and she was obviously hungry for some bad press when she offered up this gem:

“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. 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.”

Stunning. Remind me again why half of Hollywood is starving?

shes an agent! if she wants to be a successful agent shes gotta provide girls that the designers are looking for..whats the point in her having girls that are perhaps more of an ideal weight but wont get any jobs? thats the fashion industry..janice didnt make the rules..i for appreciate her friggin honesty in a world full of hypocrisy.

that so disgusting for someone to say something like that. technically she wants them to be unhealthy-looking and die. honestly, the models today aren't even good looking. they're so skinny it's really ugly. no joke about it!!!

I can't beleive that a person who is in the modeling agency can be so ugly about this. wanting people to be anorexic so you can get money I hope that your 42 models quit maybe then you will be more appreciated of models nobody needs this bs from you or anybody else. they do their best but if your putting them down why should they work for you!
