could you please clarify what you see as the ban? I think i've missed it.

i can't see they've banned anyone, just imposed age restrictions which already exist for other fashion weeks.

the doc cert, well, it's like providing proof you're fit to work. most people have had to do it, or pass a physical to qualify for work at one time or another.

I don't see anything wrong with any of this. if you're too young, you can't work (just like the normal labour market) and if you're sick/unwell you can't work.

hahahha
quan.


And, as there are age limits in other professions, I hardly consider this a ban or even really a restriction.

We're a youth worshipping society in the US. That's why the cosmetic surgery business continues to grow.

From the article...

"SAO PAULO, Brazil - A major Brazilian fashion event has moved to bar models under the age of 16,"

I wasn't making any point other than what was written in the article. Bar and ban are basically the same thing. Take it up with the newspaper =P
