Maybe RL is designing for Bratz Dolls!

I''ve never worn a single RL item in my life.
That said, WHY is this being brought up yet again when the other two threads have been closed *for a reason*?
Thank you, Iluvcarats . . . VERY well said!Date: 10/16/2009 12:54:48 PM

When I see these images it doesn''t make me think of skinny, too skinny, anorexia,ect. What it does make me think of is the deliberate distortion of women''s bodies in the media, and why. I actually don''t see these threads being started as an attack on skinny people because these images are so blatantly fictitious looking.
Of course, as with all opinionated threads, comments can get out of control, and that is unfortunate. But I really do not believe that this is the purpose of these threads. To me, it is more about the *WHY?*.
Two threads about the same subject were closed within the course of one week due to this matter having been esculated out of control. Even if unintentional, people stated their comments in such a way that it led to some being offended OR annoyed. I''m guessing that this led to the "report abuse" button in both threads and now here we are waiting for it to happen yet again.Date: 10/16/2009 12:54:48 PM

This thread seems to have remained quite civil. I wasn''t aware that the others had escalated out of control, but I really don''t understand your preemptive strike. So far anyway, this thread has proven the skeptics wrong, and to take the ad campaign of Ralph Lauren personally leaves me perplexedDate: 10/16/2009 2:49:21 PM

Both threads already attempted to discuss the ''why,'' of the ads, yet failed. What makes anyone feel this thread will escape the same fate?
Reread Ali's post who posted before me about this being a touchy topic. So, I'm not the only one who brought up again (how this topic caused two threads to be closed) and the only reason I am is for consideration of others. When two other threads are closed, clearly there is the potential for a problem to occur again.Date: 10/16/2009 2:57:18 PM

MC you are the only one who is repeatedly bringing it up at this point, while others have simply expressed disgust at the company.
