A foreigner's nurse is a beauty. A man is handsome.

Hey! I get catalogs that have black and asian models. But they are all TOO SKINNY!

I like a thin woman. Then, as for me, a man likes the model of the muscularity.

If you mean that you wonder why the models are not japanese, there is not much i can add to the discussion. I think it would be appropriate to include japanese models in a catalogue distributed in Japan. Your english is not perfect, however your opinions are valid and interesting.

I am studying English and French. But, I don't make progress. I am sorry if it feels an unpleasantness with my expression.

I think you are doing wonderfully with your English. English is a hard language to learn...and you are learning French as well? Equally impressive.

I have also seen Asian models in the catalogues...not too many, but I assume it is because here in the US, the Asian population is way lower than the Caucasion or Black population.

I'm sorry my thread is strange all,

I don't think it's strange. Keep it going! :)

I decided to go to Japanese English school. It is because it thinks that it can get along with more people if I learn English. I exchange an opinion for many nurses, and want to express the opinion which I have.

Healthyone why do you believe that this is a strange thread which does not belong here? This is a discussion board if people are willing to discuss this topic, then why not? You may ignore this thread if you wish. This is your perogative. This thread will harm no one. By the way i'm writitng these words with all the goodwill in the world.:)

I agree with Ken, the models are all cut from the same cloth, they have the same shapes and the same perfect bodies. Sthnicity is one issue, but what about nurses with very large or small breasts and those V-necks. What about some of us that grew up with no waist and no butt to speak of.

I don't know about all of you but I need to know the "squatability" of a uniform when I but it, and whather my underwear pattern will be showing through when I bend over. Catalogues don't have real life models, and they don't address the real life activities of a nurses either.
