Ralph Lauren Fired This Model For Being A Fatty Fat Fatty

You might have already seen the ridiculous Ralph Lauren ad on the left which was Photoshopped by a cross-eyed chihuahua who has a bad case of ADD and a strange fascination with tree branches. After everyone cried "outrage" over the pic, Ralph Lauren issued some half-assed apology saying they take full responsibility...blah..blah...blah. The model in the picture, Filippa Hamilton, doesn't actually look like that in real life. Filippa's head is actually bigger than her hips. Nuts, I know.

At 5'10" and 120lbs, Filippa is pretty svelte, but she still isn't skinny enough for Ralph Lauren. On the Today show this morning, Filippa said Ralph Lauren sent her to the guillotine, because she didn't look like she might fall over if you a blew a kiss at her.

Filippa said, "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore. I'm very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy."

Karl Lagerfeld just went into cardiac arrest from having an ass orgasm over this.

Ralph Lauren confirmed to the NYDN that they pink-slipped Filippa "as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us."

Maybe this has something to do with the recession. Maybe the brains at Ralph Lauren think that since people can't buy food, we will all look like malnourished praying (for food) mantises. Not only that, why pay Filippa when they can pull some random kid off the street and give them a couple of Skittles to draw the next Ralph Lauren ad:

I am 5'10 and 120 lbs...and honestly, i think they are right...i could lose about 5 lbs and look a lot skinnier.

hmm

okay. I'm 5'10 as well and I now (after great effort to gain the weight) weigh about 155.

I look MUCH better. Plus I can fill a bra AND sit through a movie.

No one wants to hug a bag of bones hunny.

Look at yourself naked in the mirror and count the bones you can see. Not nice.

I used to average 117 and wow that was nasty. I was only able to start gaining any weight when I hit 28 and started running and biking every day.

Extra weight also plumps out wrinkles and makes you look younger over all.

We (women) are so bombarded by these unrealistic images, maybe it's about time we say a collective 'fuck you' to theses designers from hell.

I've been purchasing Ralph Lauren products for years but this recent news has me already rethinking any future purchases. He should address this soon because of the world wide publicity this has likely garnished. The models in his ads always look so healthy. Too bad the industry is so twisted. I think this revelation just makes the company look so cheesy and fake but RL had bad image problems in the 90's and overcame them, so i'm guessing RL could care less.
Great drawing, btw!

I am 5'10 and 120 lbs...and honestly, i think they are right...i could lose about 5 lbs and look a lot skinnier. I have a strange fixation to have my upper arm the same size as my wrist. Its weird but i secretly compare my arms to other girls on the bus or in my classes, and if they are skinnier than me then i have this rush of guilt and embarrassment because i am fatter than they are. But i am trying everything to go down to 115...she should lose about 5 lbs and should be ok imo.

I'm so fucking sick of this bullshit excuse about "Gay fashion designers making models thinner because they want everyone to look like young boys". That is a fucking myth. If gay men actually wanted you all to look like dudes, all you would see are boyish, pretty, shorthaired lesbians and androgynous-looking dudes strolling the catwalk.

She's the embodiment of Ralph Lauren -- tan, outdoorsy, semi-exotic but still American-looking -- so this "fat" argument makes no sense to me. Then again, I've always though RL was an asshole.

Hmmm not sure what to think about this. If it was Kunty Karl I would be angry. but, again models are models. This model has been working for them since she was 15. when you are 15, ummm the majority of the girls will have a skinny male body (in the model atmosphere and in real life too at times. On this I am open to RL's side of things but he needs to speak up on why. He said, contract obligations, ok...then say them. this model is 23 now I guess, that's pretty much models "end" to quit at that age, due to the female body, being more...WOMAN and more developed. She says RL was her "family", well...take a seat next to us "normal" people. family differences will come and will never stop.To me she is heart broken, that is why she came to the public eye with that. she should've just dealt it with RL and whoever in private. Not good to deal with things with anger. takes time and if she wants to be public about this, she should come up with some program or ads for self image. and whoever said, who let men take that role of how we as women should be as...is US..women. WE NEED TO Tell them to shove off. we are the strong ones, we get cramps that hurt like hell and we wanna kill a bitch, some of us give birth. SO WE WOMEN should be the ones taking that role more and more. rant over.
