The world's first ban on overly thin models
I've had a remarkably crummy day, but this news story cheered me up.
Madrid's regional government has instituted standards barring models who are medically underweight from appearing in the city's big annual fashion show. (Thirty percent of last years models were rejected this year thanks to the new regulations.) Milan may soon follow suit.
Incidentally, the photo accompanying the story is NOT of one of the non-underweight Madrid models. It's a file photo of a model in New York.

If the MLS doesn't work out, now I've got a plan b!
But what about the poor gazelle-like models! Isn't life hard enough for the beautiful? Why would we want to run them out of the fashion industry and force them to do real work? They might break a spindly arm!!!
