"Fat" Model Fired at Ralph Lauren


If "fat" means a beautifu, 5'10" model weighing 120 lbs and wearing a size 4, women need to demand some changes. Fillipa Hamilton was a successful model at Ralph Lauren from the age of 17 years old. Today at 23, Ralph Lauren canceled her contract claiming she did not live up to her agreement. The company air brushed an ad of the model to make her look like a size "0" which distorted her entire image. When are women going to protest? When Cindy Crawford was a super-model, sample pieces were a size 6 or 8. Today samples are a size 2 or 4. What is this doing to our self-esteem and young women everywhere. I will never get tired of supporting women of all sizes as we are all beautiful!!
