This discussion about girls who are so skinny that they should actually get some forcible tube feeding by their medical examiner, already turned pretty stale, I have to admit. But last week it reached a new climax, when the organizers of the Fashion Week in Madrid threw almost one third of their booked models off the list, because their Body Mass Index was at 14 and therefore they were too thin…You calculate your BMI by taking your height squared and dividing your weight by the result you got before. The final result should ideally lie over 18. But if you expect that this incident caused another revolution in the fashion world and that we will soon be able to see some more ass on the runways, you're wrong.A lot of designers protested against this decision and relied on the right of their artistic licence. Organizers of other fashion shows throughout the world also don't see the problem and won't support their colleagues in Spain. Too bad. All these skinny girls out there will have to wait a little longer until they finally can get their hands onto some good homemade chocolate cake without throwing it up afterwards.NINA WERNER
