Size 4 Model Deemed Too Big For Runway?

cool Games Database

I am SO tired of people complaining about women being "too skinny" as they gorge themselves into double-digit dress sizes. The MUCH bigger (no pun intended) health issue is obesity!

There are plenty of plus-size models; and a legitimate reason why they are not as popular. Most people simply don't find them as attractive.

Too fat? The real problem here is her age. 21 is way too old for runway.

Really, shut the fuck up.

Musicians cry that the music industry takes advantage of them. Actors whine that Hollywood is exploiting them. Models are suddenly shocked that they're expected to be crazily thin.

Bullshit. If you are like 13 years old and being put into these industries by asshole adults who you trust I can give you some sympathy. But in the large majority of cases these are people who know exactly what their chosen businesses are about but think they might be one of the exceptions who gets somewhere.

If it works out, cool... you're rich and a celebrity; enjoy it. If it doesn't, shut the hell up. You made your choice.

I can't in any way feel any pity for someone who knowingly goes into these games and later complains about the very well-established rules.

If you notice those that make the fashion laws are terribly out of shape, therefore they force their twisted sense of bueaty upon others.

...and also the make-up. i likes my woman with a bare-naked face. ;)

God I miss being a size 4...

Get that fat pig into gastric bypass surgery stat!

boo hoo, I'm a pretty model, pity me.

What a cow. She should be next to be kicked off a Southwest flight, right behind Kevin Smith.

seriously, though. She's perfect. These people who disagree are out of their minds.

live by the sword, die by the sword. you want to be a model, be an anorexic bitch. you want to be a plus size model, then go eat some burgers and be a little fat. you want to be texas sized, then welcome to america, land of the blubber.

SICK!!!

Those sticks that walk on runways are just barely human empty vessels with a very deteriorated self perception, that's why they are good while they are totally clueless.

sounds like jealousy to me. Hear Hear to the two models that came forward. I agree 100%. Its the industry that makes people unhealthy, to Amanda : leave those girls alone, they are just trying to do their jobs.

Blaming the models for industry standards is utterly moronic, & completely unfair as well. They didn't call this girl fat, & are just as much 'victims' of the industry as she is for reasons cucarachita explains very well.

Let me guess, you saw a skinny chick eating a donut & since then have loathed every minute of your life. Get over it.

Well, as one of the former "sticks", I hate to disappoint you. I had to eat extra (protein shakes, french fries) in order to fit into the clothes on the runway. In Paris, no less. We're not all anorexic. What's more, besides having a healthy appetite and a metabolism that was extremely fast, I had a college degree and a high IQ, and would not be considered an "empty vessel" by anyone.

BUT, I went into the business feeling like a pretty girl, but left it feeling ugly -- that's what the business will do to you. Nobody wants a self-confident model on their hands. The whole point is to make you pliable, dependent. Maybe it didn't work on me completely (I quit when it got to be unbearable), because I was 23 when I started, and had a mind. But I can see why models need to be 16 years old when recruited -- they're more impressionable and manipulatable that way.

I think it's inhuman to call these girls "empty vessels" or "anorexic bitches." The ones that aren't naturally skinny like I was are victims of their parents, often, and if not, victims of their parent surrogates, their agencies. I have seen perfectly beautiful, not anorexic girls called "fat" by agents and stylists and photographers, yes. It's pathetic. That's why whenever someone asks me if their daughter should be a model, I say, sure, but not till they have a college degree and a solid personality first. If they're skinny enough for the business without starving themselves, why not. But no youg girl should be thrown to the dogs of fashion at an impressionable age, by people they mistakenly look to for support and wisdom.

Get some humanity, for goodness sakes.

Cucarachita, like you I started "late" as a model at the age of 22. My agent told clients I was 18. And he told me that at 5'10" and 115 pounds, I was too big. I had to lose a little weight to work. (Luckily, I did not have to become "an anorexic bitch" to do so.) Runway models have to be extremely thin. I also found the business very unpleasant. Almost all the girls I knew felt badly about their looks or their weight. The only exceptions were the older, i.e. 25-32 yrs, African models who had been doing runway for years. One of my roomates was a lovely, self-confident woman from Senegal who worked as a runway model well into her thirties.

Very well said and balanced.

Fucking fat ass. She should be ashamed.

she should stick her finger in her mouth right now to rid herself of that carrot and celery stick she ate an hour ago.

You are too funny, maybe she should buy three seats on a airplane!!

She needs 3 seats on the other side as well to balance the plane. Otherwise, they'd be flying in circles!

I only hope you are being sarcastic. If not, you're just sick in the head! That girl is nowhere near fat!!!

I take it youre not too bright

While I would definitely nail this girl 8 ways from Sunday, you can see in the picture with the green dress that it would look better on a skinnier girl.

Waist-to-hips is serious business for fashion.

ditto the respectful disagreement for two reasons:

1)what's the point of the belt in the design if not to highlight a curve that would not be there on a size 0 model? and

2) she's not even THAT curvy; fashion needs to get over this thing where they think that women are supposed to look like boys.

i respectfully disagree. the dress falls well on her figure while she fills out the dress with her beautiful curves.

*blinking, looking around*

What curves? I don't see any curves. Curves? On her?

Models are gross.

I guess they don't like her because she doesn't bear a close enough resemblance to a clothes hanger.

She's fine in my book. What's Velvet Aoki's size?

another post about some broad's weight from jen carlson.

I'd hit it.
