A recent survey of 2,000 15-19-year-old girls found that 67% considered “glamour model” their ideal profession.

Well, leaving aside that it was 63%, and the survey, run by “mobile entertainment provider” www.thelab.tv in June, asked 1000 young women not 2000, and they picked from a list of occupations rather than choosing them unprompted, that’s still pretty shocking. (Although the term “glamour model” seems pretty quaint and archaic to me - surely that’s not still what it’s called?) How did we create a society where this is the highest calling to which young women aspire?
