He says women who are upset by models being too thin are just fat ladies who sit on the couch and eat chips. I mean, honestly.
There’s a nice blog post about it by Susan Wagner, who in turn quotes Sherrie Gulmahamad:
This raises a rather dicey question. Do the gay men controlling the fashion world also control the messaging about *our* bodies – and is it wrong, considering gay men aren’t really interested in our bodies in the first place?
Which reiterates an observation that I’ve made more than once: that when I experience misogyny spoken by a gay man, it’s often far more offensive than the misogyny I hear from straight men. Not always by much, but straight guys, usually, mostly, kinda, like to have sex with our bodies, whether or not they consider us human and people & all that.
But I shudder to think about all of us modeling our looks after Mr. Lagerfeld, who looks like death warmed over – and warmed by those hot lamps they use to keep the fries hot at McDonald’s. Eeek.
