i want to know if anybody can tell me why models have to be so skinny?

Question

do you think that models should get as skinny as they do?

Answer 1

Hi Katana, I think they are far too slim!!! I like a woman with a bit of meat so you have some thing to cuddle into.
( I'm not being Sexist either)

Here in New Zealand we have a growing demand for "fuller" models and the industry here has taken it on with both hands and are changing their ways.

Its great to see and so many young girls are now looking "normal" in their model shoots.

I think it needs to change world wide as the models only represent about 0.001% of the population!

Times are a changing my dear and hopefully for the better.

Take alook at the forties fifties and sixties. The models are a lot bigger back then and it appears to be swinging back to those good ole days!

Hope that helps you.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

Just last month the model agencys have reported they are not going to support very skinny models. That models need to eat and look healthy. I am hoping some things will change in that industry.

I know, for myself...I will never be a very skinny person. I am not built that way. I am not fat but not a tooth pick either.

If your worrying about yourself don't!! As long as you eat right, excerise and not compare yourself to other girls you will be fine.

Being a female myself (though my pic on here is a dude) I cant stand looking at to thin of women.

Answer 3

Because the market (MOSTLY THE AMERICAN) says that is the look they want their models to have. Paris and Milan are trying to get legislation passed to make sure models don't become too thin, or be hired too young.

The new rules they want to enforce are no modelling before 16 years of age. And a BMI no lower than 18.5--which still allows for thinness, but a healthy thin.

Paris is also encouraging models to dig into the healthy snacks provided backstage while they get their makeup done, etc.

Answer 4

Models have to be so skinny so that, given the correcting effect of foreshortening from the viewing audience members' low position, the models' form looks more or less normal.

Answer 5

I agree that they're too skinny - but if they were bigger, they'd rip those clothes!
