Dear Banana Republic,

I was happily shopping on the BR site today when I came across the photograph to illustrate the "Geometric Shift Dress." The model wearing it is WAY more than thin. She looks like she has spent the last nine months on a life raft surviving only on water and Correctol. She doesn't look good - she looks sick (and very, very hungry). Please restore some sanity to your products by avoiding using models that are underweight.

Kind Regards,

[Redhead]
