The Model Whisperer workout

This relates back to Arubin's post about the control of the body.  If you read to the end of the article, the workout guru says, 

“It sounds corny,” he adds, “but I’ve always been about woman power. What I tell my girls applies to everyone and not just models: Look at what you are and what you have, and use that to the best of your ability. It’s all a matter of how you exploit what’s there naturally. Take what you’re given and do the best with that.”

Well, great. The whole article is talking about models, and how their workouts have to be structured a certain way because, "they can't afford to bulk up" even with muscle. Certainly not with food. You want a great body? Cut out all animal products and eat only broccoli, spinach, and kale. Don't use weights more than 5 pounds! Don't do lunges or run up stairs! Tone up, but don't look like you weigh an ounce more than before! So, when you "exploit what's there naturally" and "take what you're given and do the best with that," make sure you do so within the norms and boundaries set by dudes who can't bear to see you "big." Empower yourself! To conform to ideals established by (mostly) gay men!

There is another article or feature, I guess, in the NYT Style section, about the chief makeup designer at Chanel, playing with makeup. Less is more! Because "great skin is the ultimate luxury!" Check out his concepts. He loves that you can't see the eyes on the women; indeed, you can't see their eyes. So they're nothing but a blank canvas, a mannequin. So they don't ever engage with their viewer or with their male-designed look.

Fashion can be fun and enjoyable for women, but it sure ain't feminist.
