Cosmo published a section in this month's issue entitled 'The Body Shape Revolution and Where You Fit In'. It featured images of women similar to those in the image below.
How nice of Cosmo to define a catalogue of standard body types to help us understand who we are. I personally would be lost without this kind of help. Not having to think for myself makes life a whole lot easier. The body type featured in the image below is not included.
The picture of Isabelle Caro, 27, an anorexic who weighs just 31 kilos (4 stone, 12lb), has been displayed on Milan billboards to jolt the fashion industry into action over the problem of anorexia. Despite insisting that Cosmo has been "... the only mgazine to ban diets and feature women sized six to sixteen in every issue." such magazines must take at least some responsibilty for this problem due to their continual obsession with appearance and the need to be attractive.
So just what is a true Cosmo girl? The image below seeks to answer the question.
