How are Women Represented in the Magazine "Cosmopolitan" section "23 Ways to Fake Your Weight.

In Cosmopolitan the article "23 ways to fake your weight" they are saying if you have a special occasion coming up then you have time for a three day panic diet. This sentence shows that women should always look slim and skinny (e.g. size 6 Australian). They say in BIG, BOLD letters that do you want to shave off the kilos pronto? it just takes some clever styling. This clearly draws everbody's attention to the page because every girl wants to be skinny and look like those blonde bimbos on the runway, but obviously that isnt possible without doing all the damage to your body (e.g. not eating for weeks, or barely eating nothing and Excercising like a maniac). It doesn't just take some clever styling it takes more than that...like body punishing things like i said in brackets not eating and excercising. It takes a little more than just some clever styling scheme, it is more like hey try the anoxia or belimic diet it works, Cosmopolitan might as well right how to become anerexic and belimic on the front page and when girls see that they won't want to do this 23 ways to fake your weight because they will know the damage that it is doing to there bodies. Where as if they just do what they did and right 23 ways to fake your weight it just sounds like 23 weighs to drop some weight but it is completley different to that and damages all young and old bodies of women. People always want to look just that little bit skinnier in their dresses even if they don't admit it and step 6 shows what to wear to hide whats underneath, But if people choose to try and look skinny by covering up its a waste of time because people love you for who you are and not who your trying to be.
