The thing that amuses me here is the rest of their product line: van Gogh, Bosch, contemporary artists. And SoaP.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read the plot of Descent. What a horrible film. Not in a Hostel sort of a way (only). ::shudders::

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We saw The Devil Wears Prada today. Lots of fun, and Meryl Streep was great. However, the weight thing was disturbing, if not surprising. Anne Hathaway is a 4 in real life (according to an interview I saw with her) and she played a 6 in the movie and was called fat through much of it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
sj, I think it was supposed to be disturbing. AH is so obviously NOT fat. It felt like a commentary on the fashion industry rather than saying she's really overweight.

ChiKat, I got that it was meant to be that way, but knowing that it is likely the reality of that industry made it more disturbing for me.

Hey. New board.
If Anne Hathaway is fat, I am enormous. And I can't buy shirts at casual stores (which only have small/medium/large) because my body is a medium (and sometimes a small), but my longs are an extra-long.
But, yeah, I definitely think it's a fair read of the fashion industry. Which is, indeed, the point, and is also, yes, rather scary.
To say something that hasn't already been said in this conversation: I want all (well, most - i still don't get those golf hat things, and why models in them are supposed to be fashionable rather than strange) of the clothes in that movie, even though, being male, I'd look rather off in most of them. Maybe I really just want Anne, IN the clothes, also in my house. Or couch. Or... bunk.
Okay, I'm digressing.

I want the clothes too, but in my size.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I want to be the size I used to be, so I can fit in the clothes.
If Anne Hathaway is fat, I am a giant troll woman.

ChiKat, I got that it was meant to be that way, but knowing that it is likely the reality of that industry made it more disturbing for me.
Unfortunately, it seems to be the reality of most college girl's lives, as my size 6 dress dummy (which I got to be small) is considered fat by the college actresses I work with. Which they say right in front of me, even though I am obviously more than twice the size of the dummy. I think they make an exception for mom-ish aged women (although I am really just about 12 years older than they). The weirdest thing to me is that small waist no longer equals slender. Their flat, toned abdomens are, like 6 inches bigger than mine at their age, when I was wearing a size ten then considered medium and respectable)
Movies: I just watched The Hours, and liked it. although Claire Danes looked freakishly skinny to me, used to her from My so called life. And Ed Harris's chest/stomach were so hairy that he looked to me like he had sme werewolf disease. Which is probably a tribute to the new male standard of hairless beauty. I was watching Party of Five, Season 1 as well, and although Matthew Fox looks much the same, he has much less chest hair in Lost.
