I just hate the industry. They seem to have a different set of values from everybody else and this advert confirms that. They promote the size zero woman when we all know how unhealthy that can be for young women. The women may feel they look better as size zero but it's very unhealthy. The thing is, the women are so blinded by the images they see and we men actively encourage it that they end up having little choice than to buy into the designer label culture. I know of women and men who do not own a single piece of non designer clothing but maintain they're not influenced by fashion. It's very subliminal.
Back to the topic. I would like to know what was going to happen next in this picture. Perhaps you can tell me.

Firstly, let me explain to you by what I meant by "someone like you". I meant, somebody whom I regarded as intelligent. Nothing more, nothing less, so don't try to pick up on things that aren't there, ok.
Regarding the size zero comments, which are off thread, again, but I will retort to them. Whilst there is a gaggle of young models clamouring to get into the fashion industry, because they see it as glamorous and exciting, there will always be fashion houses waiting, ready to pounce, and bastardise them for their own self gratification. Whilst there are willing parties lining up, prepared to go as far as it takes, you will always have a problem. Until people stand up and say "No. Enough is enough".
I myself am too a designer label clothes horse. It is just my taste. Nothing wrong with that. Doesn't make you a snob does it? Most people are influenced by fashion. I should know as I work in the industry.
And as for what happens next in the pic - how the hell should I know? Some people may view it as gang rape, and some people as a kinky sex game.
Get off your soap box Grith.
