Ibbygirl Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 unretouched photos I was surprised about how skinny the Victoria Secret model. I knew that such models were skinny but I didn't realize what that actually looked like. Her face looks so thin and gaunt. I think they have to be a minimum of a size 4 to walk the runway as a typical model (not plus-sized), but I've read that now the girls that are coming in are competing with each other to be the thinnest so that size 2 has become the new 4 and size zero the new 2. :eek: :svengo: For their heights, I don't know how that is even possible. I know some people are naturally thin, but I am 5'10 myself and I don't think my skeletal frame could ever even be a size 0 or 2 or even a 4. My hip bones are too wide. I think it's scary how thin some of those girls are. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'd love to look like the "plus" size model!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn1129 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 you do realize that the middle girl is a plus size model? :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah... size 12 is "plus size" and size 2 is normal. Of course, as I sit here next to my twig of a dd... she looks like the Victoria's Secret Model... and my older dd looks like the "plus size." But, if you could see my 9yo dd's muscular legs, arms & back there would be no confusion as to her fitness level ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think the SI model on the right looks more like a plus size model than the plus size model! LOL Either way, the VS model looks a little too skinny to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Okay, I will say it and everyone will scream at me... I thought they could use a little exercise. :auto::leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I want to give the young woman nearest the camera a cookie. She is so thin that she looks ill. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 No, I agree. They need some toning and a little loss in their tummies, but not an obscene amount. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I know the middle one is the plus size one. I am not a size 12---I am smaller than that, BUT her tummy looks smaller than mine! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy in NJ Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cindy Crawford. While she was very obviously a pretty women, she also looked like a scarecrow - tall and super thin. Now, I know models are suppose to be tall and thin, in reality she just didn't look that attractive - a bit Ichabod Cranish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The skinny one looks like me. I'm surprised and feel a little better. :) I didn't realize models were airbrushed to look chunkier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I know some people are naturally thin, but I am 5'10 myself and I don't think my skeletal frame could ever even be a size 0 or 2 or even a 4. My hip bones are too wide. I think it's scary how thin some of those girls are. :eek: It could be a girl's body, not yet developed her womanly curves. My dd18 is nearly 5'7" and wears size 00 (yep, a double zero). I think she's too skinny, especially because her booKs look large for her small frame. But she doesn't look sick to me.

Absolutely it's all relative. Girls and women come in many different sizes and I'm sure there are some women who are naturally slim hipped, but my Cuban hiney could no way no how ever fit a size 4. ;) :D I wouldn't want it to. For me, anything below a size 7 and I look sick. Edited February 17, 2011 by Ibbygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U This video shows all they do to a woman in an advertisement. It is not the whole body, just shoulders up, but wow. Oh, here is a better one: Edited March 1, 2011 by Lovedtodeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
