Three models banned from Madrid fashion week for being 'too skinny'

"Three models have been banned from Madrid fashion week for being too thin.

They were sent home after doctors weighed and measured all 70 of the girls taking part.

The show, which started yesterday, bars models with a Body Mass Index of less than 18, believing that they set an unhealthy example for teenage girls."

More from the Daily Mail

Several years ago, I told Pamela that the tide was turning on this kind of stuff. And I'm glad to know that I was right. Every time something like this happens, it helps reset the expectations and the standard of beauty.
