Skin dripping: essential for models?

I wrote this a long time back(in 2007) but consider it worth sharing.Happy reading :)

Lights flashing, hair clapping the rouge and stiletto's provoking the clatter on the catwalk. A

model makes an appearance with flimsy bangles playing carelessly on her hand; a chick' figure

with a flat abdomen, hallowed eyes and a sharply carved face stands amidst, silhouetted against a magnanimous crowd.

Some say the art of modeling is all about an ironed figure, bones sketched on the skin, sulky

eyes and yes chiffon slinging loosely on the body.

Is the art of modeling all about skin dripping?

The art of modeling is all about expressing trend lines and flaunting off labels on the ramp.

All this is achieved with the right mode of makeup, clothing and expressions which mesmerize

the crowd.

A pale, ailing wearing face hooked to a lean, fragile body casts nothing but a look masses

wait to see.

Surprised? Don't be! This remains a fact for as long as modeling was established. Models

work under extreme pressure and are barged by the industry to maintain their figures. As a result,the industry pays them millions of dollars/rupees because literally everybody considers them to be "the-most-beautiful-women!"

What we fail to understand is that most start suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, a disease

characterized by serious malnutrition and organ malfunction which in extreme cases leads to

death!

The greatest flaw resides in the industry and the masses themselves .What we fail to

understand is that the art of modeling does not frail away with a model looking "healthy"! What

matters is the way she carries herself and by this I mean makes an appropriate appearance on the ramp, goes slow, steady or fast in coordination with the beat and theme, indulges, purely devotes and castigates those expressions which will boast and beam the designers line!

In fact, a healthy looking model is capable of making a better appearance! The glowing visage

and the warmth of her looks are viable to make an instantaneously positive impact on the crowd.

Also better eating habits not only reduce the stress levels but also elevates the level of happiness.

Thus models are likely to perform there work better.

As said by a famous celebrity regarding models: a wall flower can do two things in the

spotlight, either wilt or bloom. Think about it!
