BOYS TO MEN: Killers

Hugo Jaeger and his Führer

"Hitler is on the extreme left of the image the third boy from the bottom standing & looks to have a buzz hair cut probably in Fischlham, Austria in 1895. It is an inescapable fact that something went wrong in his development. From a cute boy to a terror in five decades is a feat repeated in far less time in the 21st century. The United States went to war to topple Adolph Hitler and in the aftermath developed an education and religious system and a social structure that graduates tens of thousands of criminals into the general population, and amongst that number are killers and amongst those killers are heartless ones. It seems more killers with causes around the world are gaining a strangle hold on people’s lives and governments are under duress trying to contain an element feed by the atmosphere..." - Gregory E.

Fashion industry hit: models meet anorexia definition, mag says.

Katya Zharkova, Russian model

Katya Zharkova, a plus-size model, and a magazine dedicated to them, have launched a new campaign critical of the fashion industry’s demand for ultra-thin models. “Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 percent less,” the pair claim.


Plus Model magazine demonstrates the difference by posing a plus-size model with a thin model more typical of the industry. It’s calling on consumers to pressure retailers to stop promoting thinness and start catering to average size women. Most models in fashion are anorexic, according to a widely accepted Body Mass Index (BMI), it says.

“Ten years ago plus-size models averaged between size 12 and 18. Today the need for size diversity within the plus-size modeling industry continues to be questioned. The majority of plus-size models on agency boards are between a size 6 and 14, while the customers continue to express their dissatisfaction,” the magazine says.

Women who wear size 14 or larger make up half the female population, yet the clothing industry only caters to women size 14 or smaller, says the magazine’s editor-in-chief,Madeline Figueroa-Jones, in an editorial note.


“We are bombarded with weight-loss ads every single day, multiple times a day because it’s a multi-billion dollar industry that preys on the fear of being fat,” she writes. “Not everyone is meant to be skinny, our bodies are beautiful and we are not talking about health here because not every skinny person is healthy.”

The fashion industry has grappled with the problem of too-thin models for sometime now. Last year, The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) began a campaign to convince the industry to be more responsible when dealing with young, vulnerable models, she said.

Right now, most sample dresses shipped by designers for photo shoots and fashionshows are size “zero.” Groups are calling on the industry to raise sample dresses to a size “four.”


“The CFDA has reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware. And I think designers are listening,” said Victoria Beckham in a television interview.

“I had a casting last week and had some terribly thin girls come in, and it wouldn’t have worked. The campaign the CFDA has launched is called ‘Health is Beauty’ and they are definitely encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models,” she said.  by Keith Girard, NY Culture & Events Examiner

FATHER SEES BIRTH

“Beyoncé Knowles' pregnancy sparked great interest in people who are encouraging and inspired by principled people. True to the style of her purpose she made pregnancy elegant, and the dignity she carried in the shadow of a miscarriage touched many of us who have lost children and know how long it takes to carry the pain of a child's death with a measure of dignity for our public. Everyone has a public, and our public measures us by the way we treat others. It is within the concepts of love and higher learning we accept our faults, ponder our loss, and its pain that helps young people forage in the forests they need to find nourishment, and the deserts they need to learn to find water, and the mountains they need to appreciate and scale to better rest within the comfort of valleys and oasises. 

Pregnancy teaches mother and child, and fathers teach themselves to be taught by the mothers of their children and the children of their loins. Birth dancing between Life and Death the way it does sharpens and deepens a father's intuition, clasps him with a patience that surpasses his understanding of himself because a father has no command during a delivery save the effect and intent of his prayers, and the ceremonies he creates for his family in his dreams…”

SACRED WHORE SERIES: Wages of sin in question





One year ago French Moroccan prostitute Zahia Dehar made headlines after it was claimed she had been paid for sex while underage by three French football stars. While their lives were shattered by the allegations, 19-year-old Zahia's fortunes were transformed entirely.

And now, her metamorphosis from call girl turned catwalk queen is complete, as Zahia debuted her lingerie line at Palais Brongniart - the former Paris Stock Exchange - as part of Couture Fashion Week. Taking to the runway the buxom model showcased some of her own designs, including a petal gown which left little to the imagination. The lookbook for the range was photographed by one of the world's top designers, Chanel's maestro Karl Lagerfeld..


For a girl who just a year ago was selling her body for cash, the transformation has been dramatic. Prostitution is legal in France where the accused men lived, but women selling sexual services must be 18 years old or over. Zahia was just 16 when she met French footballer Franck Ribery, 28, and 17 when Karim Benzema, 23, and Sidney Govou, 31, were accused of paying an underage vice girl thousands of pounds for sex. The men involved in the allegations faced up to three years in prison and fines of up to £40,000.
