                                                  need some help in finding any 
                                                  articles/information on the 
                                                  damage that advertising/fashion/models 
                                                  has on women. How they portray 
                                                  women in scantily clad clothes, 
                                                  how they must be model thin 
                                                  and sickly. I am writing a paper 
                                                  for college and have exhausted 
                                                  myself in trying to find any 
                                                  sources written on this subject. 
                                                  Can you help direct me at all 
                                                  in the right direction? I would 
                                                  be ever so grateful. Thank you 
                                                  for any consideration in this 
                                                  matter. Sincerely, Rachelle
