I've got a bone to pick with Miss Australia

[Woody]

Due to the sensitive nature of some here. I will not expose a photo of Miss Australia ... but some in the media think she is far to boney. What think you? (I think Miss California looks much better)

Here is the link ...

Fat is an easy commodity to come by in Western culture. Kudos to those who avoid it.

YES! She looks like an anexoric, skin & bones. I hope she gets the help she needs. It's pitiful.

She'd look even thinner if some of her body hadn't been augmented (as we say in our house).

If the judges didn't pick such thin girls, then the girls wouldn't try to be so thin. . .

Not sure what is going on with the webpage which Redwood linked us to. We had reported in our news here Down Under that another contestant (Stephanie Naumoska) was the one who gave the appearance of being anorexic.

The only connexion with Rachel Finch that I could find was a reference to the fact that Rachel defended Stephanie. Rachel herself is not overly thin or boney.

Why is it that when male models are skinny, it's okay, but when the media decides that a female model/actress/singer is too skinny the entire world is in an uproar?

Thanks for clearing up that confusion for us, Planey!
