Why are models always to skinny and not normal size?

I was wacthing top model and all those girls look sick at how skinny they are . Then they have what they call a ‘’plus size’’ model who is actually normal. Why?

Answer #1

First, most ADULT models, not the spoiled rich-priss brats that grew up pretty and not ugly like the majority of the world, DO have an eating disorder, a drug problem, or both. The model world is as fast paced as the fashion world and most can’t handle the stress. The children who are models and grow up as models either loose their good looks and go down a spiral of self-hatred and distain for the world, or keep their good looks and still get everything handed to them untill they get to middle-age where they realise that they have zero talent and zero personality THEN develop a drug problem. On the rare occasion, you have someone who never loses their looks, always will be a model, and is smart with their money so when they become too old to model, they can still live a happy life. These people are the talented ones. The pretty girls that everyone says have talent because they can walk sassy in ultra expensive clothes, and photograph well, do NOT have talent. I repeat, DO NOT have talent! Anyone can walk sassy in ultra expensive cloths. The only thing the pretty young girls do in it, is make it look “pretty”, which really isn’t that pretty because true feminie beauty is found in curves. CURVES! 8 out of 10 men truely beleive that the hourglass figure is the most beautiful female figure on the planet, and the more dramatic, the more they like it! I’m not a model because I grew up in the getto, and spent my time actually working to get out of the getto rather then try and look pretty in hopes that someone would say I’d make a great model, when everyone knows for a fact that voluptious women DO NOT become models, even though they truely should, because THEY are the true forms of female beauty. Just look at the ancient Greek sculptures of women! Some of the most beautiful works of art that have women in them do not have skinny, plank shaped women in them! All curves! As for that proto-type theory, it’s total bogus because I design, and make clothes as a hobby, and not ONE peice I make is ment for a skinny, plank-shaped woman! They are designed to accentuate curves without over barring them, and flow elegantly like a majestic waterfall, or drape delicately like the fragile petals of blue bells. Proto-types that are from GOOD designers are not cut for skinny *!

Models are skinny because they are pretty much walking coat hangers. It makes the clothes hang better.

It’s interesting, I saw an advert for a Next Top Model programme, with the girls you described, and straight after that was something to do with the Playboy mansion… If you compare the supermodels to the ‘’ideal’’ girls that are seen as the most attractive/sexy… they’re nothing alike. The Playboy girls are nowhere near as thin. They have curves, and don’t look like ten year old boys. I’m not saying everybody should look like them to be attractive, of course. Models aren’t anorexic-skinny because it makes them look good, they’re that thin because it makes the clothes look good.

Answer #3

yes, models are unfortunanlty told to look that skinny or else they cant be a model these girls end up starving themselves and abusing laxitives and/or cigarettes (drugs) to stay that thin rarely are they naturally that skinny there actually told to look anorexic also because pretty much every model is thin, this has disorted everyones veiw of what good body image is and whats healthy so in the media, because were used to seeing stick thin people healthy normal people are now caled plus size its disgusting but thats the media for you unfortunantly skinny sells, so does sex

Answer #4

lol, uhm, wait, what’s you’re question? Why are models skinny and plus size models of average size? Because people think that skinny is attractive and makes their clothes look better?

You think that’s bad? The models in magazines dont even look like their pictures… This commercial by dove shows how they edit the pictures (so we’re trying to look like people who dont exist…) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U
