Skinny models

[ellabella20]

Okay, so I was reading Us Weeky,and I found this article about new precautions being taken for models. It says that the models will be givin more nutritious backstage feedings and daytime fittings, so that the models can get more sleep. Apparently, this whole thing started when the Brazilian model Caroline Reston died due to complications from anorexia. In Madrid,Spain, organizers banned overly skinny models from runways by requiring a body mass index minimum of 18, but, according to the National Institutes of Health, anything below 18.5 is considered to be underweight. So, what do you think? Should the U.S should take more precautions with their models, or are they doing enough right now?I personally think the U.S should do what the people over in Madrid, Spain are doing, but that's just me.

What they're doing in Spain isn't a bad thing, but I don't think we should do it in the US.

Re: Skinny models

I do. I think super skinny models are:
1. Unnatractive (IMO)
2. Unhealthy

Re: Skinny models

Why do they do it to themselves, anyway? I know, "they wanna get skinny", but they should be well aware of their limits.

Too much of a good thing can be bad......

I'd just wait 'till I get around to the "I look good" BMI and stop there.

Re: Skinny models

It'll encourage non-obesity, but also encourage anorexia and bulimia and all that.
Would it? Maybe it would encourage MORE eating for fear of looking like that.

That's why, IMO. Victoria's Secret Models are one of the best models out there. First of all, they have some meat on them so their chest isn't negative A-cups. Second, real runway models are SKINNY AS HELL. The reason they actually look SOMEWHAT lean is because they rub them with this lotion/oil that makes their skin shine in a way where the light makes it look rounder than usual. It also hides faults in the skin. Third, runway models have to wear a ton of different outfits. The thinner you are, the less material they have to use for the outfit, and the easier it is to change outfits. It's really touch out there, but hey... it's their life.

Re: Skinny models

Honestly, if the models are so thin to begin with that a bump up to 18 BMI is significant I don't think the fact that it's less than 18.5 will have much effect on their bodies. They're grossly underweight now, soon they will only be mildly underweight.

No skinny chicks.

Re: Skinny models

I agree. Hell, I personally like it when a girl has a little extra around the middle.

Skinny chicks have no boobies.

Re: Skinny models

Stupid skinny models. They have no idea what's attractive. CHUBBINESS IS ATTRACTIVE!

Chubby should be the new skinny!

Re: Skinny models

We should have fat models that we can laugh at an throw rotten food at whilst they make their way do the cat walk.
