i am 14 and i do part time modeling and i i weight 120 pounds and i was told to lose 10 pounds b/c they said i was getting fat. I don't think that is right i think they should have models with a little fat but in a healthy way.

Well, we have a bit of a problem. The push for girls to look like "ideal" models is strong. I have several friends that have been fighting eating disorders for over a decade (their age range is currently 24-29). At the same time the United States is (I think) THE most over weight country in the world. We have more health issues from being over weight than most people realize and some are willing to admit. Our lives are based around consumerism and convenience. My personal tastes in women are irrelevant, but I think there are people who will be naturally thin just as there are also people who will be naturally large. It's when we destroy ourselves with our habits, weather based in indulgence or in vanity, that this lifestyle becomes an issue.

Re: Fat Model - Skinny Controller
I agree completely. I wouldn't worry about an ounce. Try to live a healthy life and that's all you need.

I'm a bit less fat than the first woman, and I think it's okay to be like this! I'm 19 and I have to say that everyone is beautiful in his/her own way.

honestly... i wish i was nether ... i wish we didnt have to fit into a stupid stereotype, yea im fat and i hate my self with every ounce of my soul, but that doesn't mean im going to let the stupid media tell me what i should look like ... i have issues with my body because im not healthy, but with the price of healthy foods i cant afford to eat well. i have to settle with the fast food way of life, because thats all a single mother can afford. im 16 and i cant do a damn thing to help my mother. im out of shape and poor and what can i do ? ... go to high school, hope that i dont kill my self because of being fat, so i can get a job and slave for a one bedroom apartment, and live off of 12 bucks an hour ... sounds like a great life.
i hate skinny people, but i would kill to be one ...

Re: Fat Model - Skinny Controller
Your comments were painful to read. This has nothing to do with modeling, but the Model View Controller. Hence the Ruby on Rails avatar at the top of the picture.. thank you, linoj, for spreading some light on this.

You teenage girls are all fat. go on a diet and stop eating so much fast food.

I like how irrelevant the comments are to this but for the sake of joining in:
Ew. First off the girl on the right isn't "curvy" she's just fat. Secondly the girl on the left is not too skinny you can tell by her arms. To fat people: stop saying idiotic things likes "I hate skinny people". Most people aren't naturally skinny and have to work hard to stay slim. I control my cravings and exercise everyday. It sucks sometimes but I don't have to make pathetic excuses for myself. So either do the same or stop bitching.

Re: Fat Model - Skinny Controller
It's advertising. Clothes look better on small models. If the clothes look better, more people will want to buy the product. If more people want to buy the product then more money is made. It's simple and a business like any other.
Also, designers usually make sample sizes that are usually 2-4. Models who are too small for this standard (aka on the verge of 0) aren't hired for campaigns, just as models who are too large aren't. It's the way the industry operates and always will...no matter how many ads Dove throws together (and even though the effort is appreciated).

Ooh this is so stupid! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isnt it??? I'm not fat but I'm chubby, and you know what? I dont care! I'm healthy and I have friends and a boyfriend who love me for who I am. The big model with the red bra looks happy. Let her be. The one with the whip is in control. Fearful, scary. It's bad. Just be how you were born~

This had nothing to do with Fat/Skinny people, but everything to do with the Model View Controller or MVC for short.
