American's Next Top Model makes me want to purge

I was watching "America's Next Time Model" yesterday and I watch it sometimes because I will admit, it is entertaining. It floors me though every time I watch it. I know people in the fashion industry are crazy, but oh my god! Really?! You have this annoying bitch of a man with an enormous ugly bow on, telling you that YOUR outfit looks bad? HAHAHAHAH ohh isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.
Also, I know it's the industry to be youth obsessed, skinny obsessed and yet, no one has a problem with this? Industries change all the time why can't this one be the most flexible? I can't remember the name of the girl that got voted off, but she looked too old for the industry. She's 25! Oh god, I'm going to be 23 and luckily I'm an actor so I have options. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the girl's face either so I get why she was voted off but THEY say it was because she looked "mature". Why are they obsessed with youth anyway? Most teenagers are stupid! (haha jk) I think the fashion industry is sooo funny. The fact that people take clothes and snottyness soo seriously is so pathetic in my eyes. Yes we're talking millions of dollars so of course they're going to take IT seriously but those people take THEMSELVES sooo seriously it's laughable!
If I want to wear socks with sandals (don't worry, even I know that's a foe-paw...is that how you even spell it?) who are you to freak out on me as if you caught me throwing a baby off a balcony?! A bad outfit is not the end of the world, we are not hurting anything other than your eyes (which you can look away by the way).
Basically, the moral of the story is, yes fashion is fun and pretty and all that, but I really hope people take it less seriously because it can be really scary that THESE people are in control of how we proceive ourselves. These crazy people wearing ugly large bows, telling young pretty girls that they look old, these people that say a size 2 is an ideal size, these people that talk utter nonsense! You can not let them tell you that you're not good enough. The clothes in the magazines, the cosmetics, how slim you should be doesn't mean anything. These people are messed and I think we need to look at them as such. Why would I take advice from these people? Why would it mean so much for me to care? That's just how I look at it. Whenever I see Vogue or whatever big fashion magazine is out there, I take it for what it is. A waste of trees.
But seriously, if I were to ever be on the cover that would be cool. Not gonna lie.

I can tell you, even though I don't watch tv, or read fashion magazines, I still feel pressure to wear the right thing, lose weight. I'm trying not to let it get out of hand, (though the LeSportsac are a little crazy lol) I still eat whatever I want, (Which is why only have 2 pairs of jeans that still fit) I try to think of it as doing it for myself, because I do need to lose weight for my health, and I do want to wear make up and high heels and feel pretty.
