Models Eat Tissues

How supermodels stay 'Paris thin' by eating TISSUES: Sacked Vogue editor exposes brutal truths of fashion world in tell-all book The Vogue Factor, by Kirstie Clements
By MARTHA DE LACEY

Quote: | For those who puzzle over how supermodels stay so whippet thin, a former Vogue editor has lifted the lid on the horrific lengths some go to to maintain their wispy waistlines and cut-glass hipbones.
Kirstie Clements, sensationally fired from her role as editor of Australian Vogue last May, has written a tell-all book about the fashion industry, claiming some models eat tissue paper to feel full, starve themselves for days on end, spend frequent stints on hospital drips, and are often so weak with hunger they struggle to keep their eyes open.
As reported by Georgia Graham in the International Business Times, The Vogue Factor also explains that within the fashion world there is 'thin', and then there is 'Paris thin' - a term that describes the size of a model who has starved their already fragile body down two dress sizes in order to be cast in big oversea shows.
In her controversial tome, Clements says she once spent three days on a shoot with a model who didn't see her eat a single meal - and that on the final day she could barely stand or keep her eyes open.
She also reveals how an Russian model once told her that her flat mate was a 'fit' model - a model whose body is used by top designers for clothes-fittings - and therefore spent lots of time on a drip.
Clements spent 25 years at Australian Vogue - her book's subhead is 'from front desk to editor' - and steered the ship for 13 of them.
Her departure was sudden - she was called to a meeting and dismissed, forced to clean her office and leave without bidding farewell to her staff - and she was replaced quickly by Edwina McCann, editor of Harper's Bazaar.
Clements describes her sacking simply as a 'regime change' that was part and parcel of the dramatic Vogue narrative, but some critics believe the new book - her first - is her way of exacting revenge on the Rupert Murdoch-owned title. |
Any recipes for tissues?

So so sad. For them. And for all those who develop eating disorders. Why can't we as a culture appreciate all types of bodies. Makes me so sad.

The picture in the article was such a skinny woman- she looked like a starved camp survivor.
NOT MY IDEA OF A SUPERMODEL!

In Israel we have scented tissues that smell yummy. "Peppermint" and "chocolate chip muffins" seem popular with the kids, but I've seen other scents as well. They come in little purse sized packets.

Thanks FranticFrummie. I hope they are Kosher for Pesach.
The real tragedy is that the IV drips actually contain 170 calories per liter.

I think people wish for money more.
If you have lots of extra money you can buy different foods and spend more time exercising. and Money can be shared with family. Weight cant.

I believe Jackie Kennedy said in the good old 60's: "You can never be too rich or too thin". Today we know this expression is incorrect.

Not quite the same, but I once ate tissue on Yom Kippur. I had to take a medication and got the feeling that it was stuck in my throat. So I tried to get it down with a bit of chewed up tissue. Didn't work all that well...

But when it comes to shiduchim, if the guy’s side has money, then weight is #1 (and then money because money). If they don’t have money it’s tough because who will support them and their model wife?

The person who was interviewed was the former Editor of Vogue Magazine in Australia and wrote a book. Next time read the whole article.

The article also details how this person was abruptly dismissed from her job, casting further doubt as to the accuracy of the details.
It's common knowledge that supermodels starve themselves, but tissues? Really?

The big question remains, can I fulfill my obligation for two Minim in my Mishloach Manos with a box of tissues and an IV bag?
