Last night I watched the Victoria's Secret fashion show on TV - not so much to see the actual fashion - but more to check out the Black Eyed Peas who were the performers of the night.

As I watched the show, however, for a fleeting moment I began to feel those twinges of jealousy. Why can't I be skinny like those models? Why can't I live the glamorous life?

I'm not sure where those feelings came from, but I'll be honest and say that those thoughts did run through my mind. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Perhaps that title is a bit misleading. I do love the fashion industry. I worked in the fashion industry for fifteen years and loved helping women find clothes that flatter their bodies.

However, there are certain aspects of the fashion industry that I completely dislike.

You may or may not have heard the news that surfaced last week about a former Ralph Lauren model, Filippa Hamilton, who was allegedly fired for being overweight. Unfortunately, this isn't new news in the modeling world. Countless women before Filippa have been fired from other fashion houses for not conforming to weight standards.

Here's a video with more details about Filippa Hamilton's story...
