Finally a healthy response to an unhealthy appearance!
The fashion blog The Gloss informed about Topshop being forced to remove an ad which featured a very skinny model - Codie Young, but only after complaints that the image could encourage anorexia. Apparently "the angle this image has been shot at accentuated Codie's proportions, making her head look bigger and neck longer in proportion to her body" was the Topshop reply.
See the picture:

I thing girls in size 8 and bigger look much more feminine, do you?
