Did You Know... If shop mannequins were real women, THEY'D BE TOO THIN TO MENSTRUATE. There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and ONLY 8 WHO DO. Marilyn Monroe wore a SIZE 12. If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions. The average American woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12 and 14. One out of every 4 college aged women has an eating disorder. The models in the magazines are airbrushed - THEY'RE NOT PERFECT!! A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at models in a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and shameful. Models who twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman, today weigh 23% less. Thank you Donna R. |
