There is a big difference between the way (and where) guys and girls gain weight. There is a good chance that, genetically, she has a bit more testasterone than estrogen in areas such as weight gain, but I doubt it considering how feminine her face is.

Even if there isn't a problem, the readers don't know that, and it seems hypocritical.

Does that make any sense?

exactly. whether or not she is that thin naturally is her issue. and frankly, most people out there likly will not care whether or not she is naturally that thin. they're only going to see a very very skinny girl, and propogating this image is not going to have healthy consequences...

her arms look incredibly skinny on those polaroids,i can only magine if the camera adds 10 pounds,how skinny theyre in real life.id be sscared to hold her hand so it wont break

Nicole richie looks much healthier in recent candids,guess her boyfriend has a good infuence on her

^I cant make the picture enlarge and in its tiny form she looks no different.

and Crakk, its irrelevant because not only is she waaaaaaaaaaay less than you are (shes probably around 100) , but the male and female physiology's are entirely different.

what really bothers me are model's legs. Their knees are bigger than their tighs! how do they do that?

Yeah, a model on these very boards once said the camera adds up to fifteen/twenty pounds, and most top models look like total skeletons in real life

[jakeee]

im a model..and i have to say.. thats totally true ^

[emailme.]

yeah its weird when people say theyre naturally thin. If thin was not in and you were THAT skinny I dont think you'll just stand there and say ' I cant help it, i just am skinny.' You would do something about it wouldnt you? Its like saying 'I just have naturally curly hair but it totally doesnt suit me but what can I do?'

^ actually, i was really, really skinny about 3 years ago, i tried so hard to gain weight and wanted to really badly. sometimes it really is difficult. a lot of people passed judgement on me and said they thought i was anorexic, even people in my own family. it sucks pretty bad to have people say stuff like that about you.

i don't know if chanel has an ed or not as i do not personally know her/see her as a physician/monitor her eating habits. either way, it wouldn't hurt her to put on a few pounds and get healthier. ed or not, there is no way that it is healthy to have a physique like hers.

im sure it would be painful for people to pass judgment on wieght issues. Its just as bad as calling a fat person fat.

Twenty pounds seems a bit extreme to me. I'm sure that the models do look like skeletons in real life, however, seeing how they look like such in pictures.
