At 5′9, one has to weigh in the 125# range to be a Las Vegas showgirl….that’s a LOT sexier than what comes down the runway.

I wish people in the fashion industry would stop with the whole ” If you’re bigger than a size 4, you are fat” thing! The runway models have to be at least 34×24x34, for bust, waist, hips, if not smaller!

That is an unhealthy image to put through people’s minds! The average woman is a size 8 or higher, and in many places, muscle, and a healthy glow are preferred. Plus, everyone has a different body. Some women have hourglass figures, some are petite, some are curvier, some have pear, apple, or banana figures. But what should really matter is what you think of yourself mentally. Confidence is key, because then you can pull off anything!

Plus, who cares about the clothes, as long as the clothes look good on you? Fashion always has something for ones’ personal body type that will great on the wearer!

I myself am 35×28x33, naturally slender, and yet a size 8 in regular clothing, and I’m proud of it.

I dare everyone who reads this to think of two great things about themselves for every bad thing, and take a stand against unrealistic body images.

I’m a size 0, but in American sizes, and it barely fits me (too small). I’m very petite (Japanese) and a lot of times when I find something I want to buy, it is too big for me. Honestly, I don’t think that many stores sell small clothing.

Anyways, it’s a shame about what happened to this girl and her sister. I hope that someday people will love people just the way they are.

It’s sad but this is happening more and more often. These girls are extremely under weight. Some of them are like 5′11″ and they are supposed to weigh from 125lbs-148lbs on the HeightandWeight Scale and some of them weigh like 109lbs which is extremely unhealthy. When they are that thin some of them stop having periods, their hair and teeth could fall out, because their bodies are basically going into starvation. Now I want to become a model I am 5′10 and I weigh 125lbs, I am naturally skinny and I have a lot of muscle so I have no fat and what’s funny is that I love food and I have an A+ in the eating department! I eat almost all the time but I excersie regularly and I drink lots of water. I really do think that’s its gross that these girls purposely do this to themselves just to stay that sickly thin. They really do not understand the danger that are putting their bodies in and it makes me upset to see what happens to them. But, they know already its their choice not to do that to themselves.

Does no-one commenting in this forum REALISE that people who are looking at the models are not looking at what they are supposed to? If fashion where about the models, we would be popping into Gucci to buy a person! Does anyone here go into a clothes shop and look at the hangers, thinking ‘ooo, thats a nice hanger, I want to be just like it’? NO!!! And that is what these models are! Hangers!
I believe that models SHOULD be skinny. But, naturally skinny. The problem is, back in the day, models were PICKED. they looked that way NATURALLY. Now, girls see it as a career CHOICE, and try to fit themselves into that mould! Someone need to sit these girls down and say ‘honey, if ya too fat, ya too fat. deal with it. love yourself, go be a lawyer!’
In no way am i saying this to be derogatory, i myself was a model. Male, and 6ft 1 weighing 10stone, my bmi is underweight. I modelled during the dior ‘herionj chic’ phase. BUT it is natural! I eat, I work out, its just the way i am. i was PICKED, didnt strive to be a model. Thats the way it should work. These girls and their families are to blame, if you ask me.
