Can't see the link, but I find the fashion shows morbid from many points of view.

I was wondering if Melanchton was posting tongue-in-cheek because the nyt's sudden concern for 'third world' women is almost insulting. Of course, it is assumed that US women are 'exceptionally' fine, as it is and need not be included, but also

It's promoted/paid/marketing for "Care", a multi-prong NGO that had questionable policies and strange funding connections years ago.
It promotes the authors' new book.
Gives the nyt a do-gooder image for all the sunday-only readers.

Maybe this link will help: Women's Fashion Fall 2009-5th Anniversary Issue

Not sure the reason for attacking the messenger, but I have seen lots of good reporting from the New York Times concerning issues in Africa. For example the article: In Niger, Trees and Crops Turn Back the Desert

Inspired me to write a couple of blog entries as well as some in my papers for school including: In Niger, Trees and Crops Turn Back the Desert, which was also posted here.
