If they put a man on the moon...


....then maybe we can put real women in magazines.  Germany is doing just that.  Following in the footsteps of Glamour, Brigette, a prominent fashion magazine in Germany "will use only "real woman" from now on to illustrate its stories, declared its editor, who said he was "fed up" with having to retouch pictures of underweight models who bear no resemblance to readers. "For years we've had to use Photoshop to fatten girls up," said Andreas Lebert. "This is disturbing and perverse. Models weigh around 23% less than normal women. The whole model industry is anorexic."

Go Germany!  Glamour made a great move and hopefully more magazines will follow suit.  Times are a changin' <3
