The French have joined Madrid, Milan and the U.S. and signed a contract to squash the preconceived notion that you have to be a stick figure to model.

According to the AP the charter, signed by groups including the French Couture Federation, the French Federation for Women's Pret-a-Porter and the Union of Modeling Agencies, asks those who signed to work toward "a diversity of body representatioins" and "not to show images of people that could help promote a model of extreme thinness."

I want to know what happens to those that are natually thin that are now being shunned.
