Okay so I have to say this assignment is really putting up a fight. haha Coming from an industry not controlled by copyrights as much or hardly at all...its pretty intimidating. I have finally come up a few ideas...but I would not be surprised if it they change again. I am debating between the issue on how model sizes have dramatically gotten smaller to grotesque proportions or issues concerning physicians giving prescriptions for pills (etc) like candy or something tattoo wise like stereotyping. I'm leaning more toward the model subject though. There are multiple reasons why I am interested in this matter. One reason would be what image this puts in young teens/women's mind and not wanting to see them go overboard and blindly follow this trend. There has been a recent event where a model pushed too far diet wise and dropped dead on the runway. I want to convey this message possibly with a runway scene and as the models are getting closer to the camera having them morph into skeletons... all with blindfolds. I'm still unsure how to borrow these images...I kinda wanted to use big name brands but I'm not sure if that is pushing it too far...but its kinda the point in a way. I've been struggling with this and I need to talk to Kate about it more. I was most influence by an article with a plus size model and a supermodel posing nude together in a plus size magazine. It stated facts about how models used to be only 8% less than average women and now they weight at least 23% less than the average woman. Either way I'll figure out what I will really stick with after talking to Kate! :) Thanks.

I love this idea! It's a really original way to approach modeling and to show the truth behind how those girls look that way. Not only do they practically starve themselves, but the pictures are the photoshopped to make them look the way they want. I see this turning out amazing! Good luck! :)
