What is the big deal about being skinny?

I was reading a local magazine and they had an article about a model that collapsed on the catwalked and died later on. Her diet was something arb like lettuce every single day for the last month. Why are people conforming to be ultra-skinny. Yeah ok, I want to look sexy and feel sexy but looking like a stick is just gross. Please explain to me why girls want to look like this.

    it's all about preferance. many people will look at a picture of an underweight model and find it repulsive, and just as many others will have the opposite reaction. my sister has an eating disorder, and after living with that for ages, i can understand where she's coming from and why she thinks stick thin models are beautiful. i look up to her so much and think she's georgeous even though she looks sickly, and i'm at a point now where i do think emaciated is beautiful. but it's just a different kind of beautiful.

    Unfortunately it's what the Fashion Designers demand. I've heard they like Models that way so the clothes can hang on their body. It's a shame but it is what it is.
