"Clearly anorexic" models haven't really been "in" since the early 90s, and even then most of them weren't anorexic, just skinny. There has been an interesting divergence between "fashion model" and "sex symbol" since the days of the "supermodel" (a term one rarely hears nowadays), and today's sex symbols are back to mostly being actresses and singers. This is largely because the body types which make clothes look best are not really the body types than men are most attracted to.
What was my point? Oh yes, there are very few genuinely underweight people seen as role models. Keira Knightley, perhaps.
