		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for making &quot;men&quot; the bad guys here but in your blind rant you forgot two important things. First, men aren&#039;t the only ones running modeling adgencies, advertisements and in charge of media; women aid in this too. Second, men are dehumanized and degraded too. Thanks for being really completely selfish and childish about this. No it&#039;s not right to do this to women but men aren&#039;t to blame alone and it&#039;s not right to do this to anyone not just women.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Father&#039;s Of the World,

Instead of images of faceless models you could careless about, picture your daughters, your granddaughters or your own wives with a pile of men&#039;s junk on top of her and then come back here and lay claim that this kind of advertising is &quot;all right&quot;. This makes me sick. Because you would NEVER be allowed to depict an ethinic, race or any other social group in the way that the women are currently depicted in the pictures above. Could you imagine a person of clearly Jewish faith pictured with a bunch of men&#039;s shoes and bags on her? (Lets not even pretend you could picture a man being so utterly degraded). But somehow, by reason enough alone of being a woman, you are allowed to completely degrade women in levels you could never do to any other social ,reglious on ethnic group. Take note that all the girls in the pictures are white.

Sincerely,

Middle class white girl who is sick and tired of being non-human to the men of this world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Um, guys and mostly gals, I hate to break it to all of you, but these aren&#039;t Advertisements. These are suppose to be Artistic stills taken by Bela Borsodi, and I&#039;m guessing were compiled into a slide-show for this article. At &quot;Detail Magazine.&quot;

http://www.details.com/style-advice/rules-of-style/200810/are-you-a-fashion-victim

I say I&#039;m &quot;guessing&quot; because I could not find this sideshow at the website; why they removed it, I don&#039;t know.

But I did find it here!

http://www.art-dept.com/artists/borsodi/

At Editorial 1

(Where it says:)

DETAILS - &quot;Girl Not Included&quot;

I hope her other works are also viewed in this particular editorial.

I&#039;m guessing the point that she is trying to make with this sort of imagery is that they represent how Women have fallen victim to the world of fashion and Et Cetera (I&#039;m sure the rest can be figured out, as Art these images speak volumes...that we&#039;ve already heard) Whether or not Bela Borsodi, is tackling the issue of Live Mannequins that you might see in department stores I&#039;m not sure of.

But what really beats me is how this slide-show is supposed to work in conjunction with the article, and why she did it the way she did. I suppose one will never know, until they ask.

I&#039;m Mō, this is my first comment here, and I hope this cleared something up to somebody.]]></description>
