Supermodels are everywhere and their physical characteristics are, more or less, always the same: tall, skinny, long hair, lots of makeup, etc, etc.

Regardless, VOGUE Magazine is reporting looking to change that stereotype by outlawing two common modeling traits — no one under the age of 16 and no one with an eating disorder. The publication says that they believe “good health is beautiful”, and beginning with policing themselves the magazine will “mark an evolution in the industry” were young, super thin models are the norm.


Do you think VOGUE will stand by their promise? Do models seen in magazines promote a bad example for your ‘average’ teen girl?
