Barney's, a well known fashion retailer has recently released an ad campaign. It is showing what looks like stick figures of Minnie mouse and Daisy duck.The idea behind these ads is that Minnie and her friends are dreaming about becoming fashion models. Now I know that teenage girls like to imagine this kind of stuff, but Barneys may have gone a little too far with this one. Minnie and Daisy are skinnier than a quarter of a light pole, Barneys took this one to the extreme. The reason that Barneys decided to make them look so skinny is because with their pleasantly plump model, made by Disney, they wouldn't look attractive in a tight dress. hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition asking Barneys to changed them back to their usual figure. Also a few celebrities have stuck their necks out for Disney, also asking Barneys to not go through with this. Either way as of right now you are going to be able to see Minnie mouse and her friends on the runway November 14, of course there is always a chance this could not be happening. http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/skinny-minnie-mouse-inspires-petition-194641110.html
This is dumb. Teen age girls already have enough problems with bein pressured by the media to be skinny, but no little kids are going to be affected too. that's my opinion atleast. it's a cartoon, the don't need to be skinny, they are supposed to be pleasantly plump.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why they keep on pressuring young kids to be skinny. Its just not right.
