Size zero.
At the age of 22, Luisel Ramos was a life that many girls and young women would envy. She was a top fashion model who spent her time from country to country to take part in major fashion shows. She was beautiful and , tall and thin. She was earning a lot of money, too. But she was and wanted an even bigger success in the world of fashion. In the months leading up to Uruguay's Fashion Week in 2006, Luisel followed a strict diet of lettuce leaves and Diet Coke. By the time the fashion show arrived, she weighed around 45 kilos, despite being 1.75 meters . Unfortunately, she didn't stop about the harm the diet was doing to her health.
The audience cheered as Luisel Ramos walked down the catwalk wearing the latest fashions from some of the world's designers. But as she was returning to her dressing room, she collapsed and died. Doctors blamed her death on her very low body weight and lack of essential nutrition.
A month Luisel's death, the Madrid Fashion Week banned models who were too thin from taking part, and Italian fashion designers also refused "size zero" models. People often blame the fashion industry for using unhealthily thin models, thereby encouraging girls to become obsessed with their weight, but perhaps the tragic death of Luisel Ramos was a turning point.

1 Any movie fan who is worth their DVD collection knows what a good movie premiere night is like. Cameras flashing, fans cheering, and in the middle - the famous red carpet. One by one, the greatest names of Hollywood get out of their sparkling limousines and walk down this carpet to the most stunning of parties. And, of course, everyone wishes they could be there. Well, except for the stars themselves.
2 Although it may look like they are going to have a ball, for most movie people a night like this is still work. First of all they are in the public eye, even if the fans and the paparazzi are kept at a distance. The smile still has to be kept fixed on their faces, no matter how exhausted they might be. And, if they have the misfortune to slip on the wet floor, they can be sure to find a snap of that moment in the papers the next day.
3 Then there is the ever-present gossip. If you arrive together, you're probably dating each other. If you arrive separately, pose for the pictures separately, and finally leave separately, it is absolute proof that you're dating each other. Your every move, smile and gesture will be noticed and commented on, and, most likely, misinterpreted.
4 The funny thing is that the least important part of the night is the showing of the movie itself. Most of the people present, from the crew to the critics, have already seen it anyway. The premiere night of the movie The Fantastic Four had to do without the movie because the film projector broke down, but nobody complained. It is the crowd, the location and the money that you spend that this is really all about.
5 So why do they do it? Well, nuisance or not it is good publicity. All the media are there, willing to give you a bit of their airtime or column space. Besides, it is tradition. Bothersome or not, it just has to take place. As one Hollywood director says, 'If my studio told me I -couldn't have a premiere for my film, I'd be offended.'
