DEAD MODEL’S MUM SPEAKS OUT
The mother of 21-year-old Brazilian stunner ANA CAROLINA RESTON has made an emotional plea for parents to take better care of aspiring young models.
Reston died from complications due to anorexia on Tuesday (14NOV06), sparking further outrage about underweight models in the fashion world.
The latest tragedy comes after another model, LUISEL RAMOS, died of heart failure during a fashion show in Montevideo, Uruguay in August (06).
Reston died in a San Paulo hospital from a generalised infection caused by anorexia, in which sufferers deprive themselves of food in order to be ultra-slim.
She weighed only 88 pounds (40 kilograms) - the weight of an 11-year-old girl.
And now her grief-stricken mother is speaking out, urging other parents of wannabe models to keep a close watch on their daughters’ eating habits.
MIRIAM RESTON says, "Take care of your children… No money is worth the life of your child, not even the most famous (fashion) brand is worth this."
