Skinny VS Curvy

Back in December 2011, H&M was in trouble for using computer generated bodies with real heads in order to feature their products – and it seems that the critics are on their case again, this time for promoting tanorexia in a new set of ads where the bikini model is simply ‘too tanned to be healthy’:

From Huffington Post:

Isabeli Fontana, who models H&M’s newest summer swimsuits, is dark. Really dark.

Dark enough, in fact, to get some doctors in a bit of a tizzy. Dr. Ralph Braun, a dermatologist and professor at University Hospital Zürich, told 20 Minuten, “I find this very alarming.” If Isabeli’s skin is the standard for tan, says Braun, then we’re in trouble:

    “Many people, especially young, will to emulate this and will try to just as brown, even though their [skin] type it’s not possible.”

Amanda Ammann, a former Miss Switzerland and sufferer of skin cancer, also told 20 Minuten, “I think it’s a shame, because such advertising conveys a wrong impression.”

Trying to emulate someone so tan could lead to an addiction to tanning — which, as doctors have recently confirmed, is officially called “tanorexia.”

33 year-old Katie Price, who recently told the press that she feels ‘old, wrinkly and fat’ admitted that she uses Botox on permanent basis and that she is also a big fan of tanning:

‘I still have Botox every four months, and that’s it. I have it down the sides of my eyes – three injections on each side. I’m not really wrinkly, anyway. I probably don’t even need it. I only do it because everyone else has it done. Botox isn’t a big deal for me, it’s like going shopping.’

‘I cane my body like it’s leather. (I spend) 15 or 20 minutes in my sunbed, but my skin is quite hydrated and not as badly damaged as some people’s. I don’t even use the goggles.

Camilla Belle chose an original look for the premiere of her movie From Prada To Nada in Los Angeles 2 nights ago – the 24 year-old actress showed up in a pantsuit, a bare (and quite tanned) torso and a frilly beige bra.

Are you a fan of the look or is it too… eclectic for your taste? And how about Camilla’s tight little figure? And her intense smokey eye?
