Thin is in, thin is in <br />Bodies like paper, thin as fin <br />Thin as pencil, anemic skin <br />Portfolio of ribs, crying within <br /> <br />Thin is sin, Lady in size zero <br />Extra extra small, she is our hero <br />Skinny, emaciated, walks in a bolero <br />Anorexic fingers, she counts her dinero <br /> <br />Little dainty girls what do they know? <br />Ain't their fault, they want to glow <br />Models, they are just on the show <br />Wearing wedding gowns that flow. <br /> <br />Bowl of fruits to plum the lips <br />Longing for tasty fish and chips <br />Bowl of nothing to slim the hips <br />The show is killing them, tidy tips <br /> <br /> <br />Anemic profile, not thin by nature <br />Tired smiles, scrawny by nurture <br />Bag of bones are our fashion future <br />Room full of applause, shame on our culture <br /> <br /> <br />Designers and mothers looking for fame, <br />Playing with little girl's psyche, so lame <br />Barbie dolls don't faint they always claim <br />Dropping dead in designer clothes, what a shame! <br /> <br /> <br />A lady with curves can't she hold the lamp? <br />Can't a voluptuous woman be our champ? <br />Don't they have smiles with a million amp? <br />Oh why? Don't healthy curves fit the ramp? <br /> <br /> <br />(UK News <br />London fashion week refuses to ban ultra-thin models... <br /> <br />Dedicated to all the young models who died trying to get into the <br />designer clothes..) .<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thin-is-in/
