I've had some inquiries asking what this is about. Here's the link to the original article this references: http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2006/10/18/skinny-controller-fat-model

IM SICK OF SKINNY MODELS BEING USED FOR THE LARGER WOMANS CLOTHING IT MAKES ME SICK TO SEE WOMEN WHO ARE ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING SIZE 0. WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT GIVE TO YOUNGER KIDS?! ITS DISGUSTING IM SIC OF IT

#

im 13 and i think im fat xD skinny controller is like a goal just not the slutty part

#

i wish i could look like the skinny girl but how do i no if she has been airbrushed or not ??

#

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.

#

I agree completely. I wouldn't worry about an ounce. Try to live a healthy life and that's all you need.

#

what diffrence does it make if she's been airbrushed or not?

#

i dun know what u r all talking about the "skinny controler" has a healthy weight, u can't see her bones and she even has some curves

#

I totally agree X, the 'skinny" one isnt all that skinny....she looks great and healthy.

#

i wish i could look like to skinny one. i wish i didn't look want to though. how does she get to be like that ?

#

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.

#

That "skinny" controller has a beautiful body... but her outfit is atrocious.

#

Hah, that's great.... especially the comments.

#

Wow, Ferreal? honestly love your fine just the way you are.. you are FAR from a little fat. i wish i was that much. ignore them.

#

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 ...

#

this pic is my thinspiration. im on a 1 meal a day diet and im going weel YES! im so happy im actually losing weight. bt i'm still disgustingly fat. (i'm 1.56cm high and weigh 55kgs-gross i know.)

#

because if shes airbrushed, ten that means that shes not realy. so its like aspiring to look like a cartoon

#

i bet your fat

#

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.

#

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~
