I'm sure everyone has either heard of this, or seen it. But those that havent here it is...
If you asked people at random to describe Filippa Hamilton in a word, you’d hear a lot of synonyms for “gorgeous.†What you wouldn’t hear is “fat.â€
And yet the 5-foot-10-inch, 120-pound model says that is essentially why she was fired by Ralph Lauren after eight years with the fashion designer.
“They said I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore,†the size 4 stunner told TODAY’s Ann Curry Wednesday in New York. Hamilton said that Lauren wrote a letter to her agent saying, “We’re terminating your services because you don’t fit into the sample clothes that you need to wear.â€

I think they where wrong for fireing her. She isn't fat. She actually looks pretty IMHO. And the way they made her look on the magazine cover... That was horrible looking. They are sending the wrong messege to everyone (In fact most, if not, all fashion companies are). They make you think "I should look like that." even though it is in fact IMPOSSIBLE to look how they do. Most modles are also photoshopped to look even "better" which I think is stupid.
Well... What do you think about this? Think she should have been fired? Think it sends the wrong message to everyone? Think companies shouldn't beable to photoshop anyone (And if they do, they should have a discalmer somewhere saying it was photoshopped)?
