Il faut suffrir pour être belle...or so they say

I really need to stop browsing newspaper sites...or at least stick to the actual news portions. My latest find was an article on The Scotsman's website called "Is your health a fashion victim?"

We've all heard the old saying regarding suffering in the name of beauty but this article takes it to a whole new level. From your skinnies giving you meralgia paresthetica (a tingling and burning sensation in the thigh) to an ill-fitting bra causing constipation to underwear made from synthetic fabrics creating a "damp environment"...it's all there...in some cases in rather too much detail.

What ever happened to suffering in silence?
