first of all, i think the two photos are unfair when compared side-by-side. yes it's obvious the size 0 girl is sucking in her stomach and making her ribcage pop out like a concentration camp victim, but as far as fashion photography goes, it's a well-balanced picture that does show how tiny she is. the size 18 girl's face may be gorgeous and her love of her body definetely shows in her expression, but the angle she's at and the way the fur wrap is draped means that her curves are all but nonexistent... the photo makes her look more like a blobby rectangle than the rubenesque goddess i'm sure she actually is. so from that aspect, it seems like the bias leans toward the size 0 girl.

what bothers me also about the 0 girl's story is that it's obvious she has never had to deal with the stigma of being overweight. she has NO clue whatsoever and seems be amused by being so skinny. that annoys me more than anything else.
