What I was alluding to is that saying a skinny girl is not "a real woman" (which thankfully on this thread not many people do anymore, though the general public does), is robbing her of her assets and respect. If a girl is thin with less developed breasts it doesn't mean she's not a woman, anatomically or otherwise, she's not suddenly a man or a eunch. Why do we forget that these girls are somebody's daughters, sisters, mothers, they're basically us but famous. As far as skinny and curvy goes, realisitcally how often is one curvy and skinny, I think you can be curvy and thin, but not curvey and skinny. Skinny to me means more skin and bones. For example Jessica Beil is thin and curvy, but Tara reid is skinny and curvey because she's had breast implants and they wont shrink with the rest of her. Unlike in the case of Lindsay Lohan, who when she got "skinny" lost her curves.

@ carmen_cass: oh yes... I forgot comments like "she gained weight and she looks really happy"...
@ fairy: yeah, I know, I agree about superFashion, the same thing happned when xPedro said he prefers skinny.

I do know what curvy means, but it seems that lately people use it as an euphemism for fat!

I think seanutbutter's original comment was legitimate and not rude, simply asking superFASHION to clarify why he posted the picture. Olga is extremely thin in that picture, but there definitely are worse pictures of her, and as Hotaru pointed out she doesn't have any bones sticking out etc in that particular shot. In addition, it is sometimes difficult to gauge/understand what superFASHION is thinking... is the picture of Olga showing improvement/more weight loss etc? I honestly didn't know what to think.

All I'm saying is that if you read this thread often enough it gets to be a bit too much. I do agree with you, sometimes people pick on certain members for no reason and I don't like that at all; nobody deserves to be treated like that. It brings down the community. Yes, we can ignore it, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

i was talking about the majority of members in here, not about you in particular...
anyway...he doesnt have a problem with different opinions in here, does he? so just because ppl decided that their opinion is right and his is wrong/his posts annoying because they dont agree with them...
does he complain about everyone else having a different opinion? no he doesnt, he respects it and he doesnt pick on ppl just because they speak their opinion

Everyone already knows that *Bianca* is a supastah She posts the best articles and studies!

And last time I checked, no one on this thread was using "curvy" as a euphemism for "fat". I've read this entire thread and I've yet to see anyone promoting obesity.

he did what people are supposed to do in this thread...post a pic and let each person decide on their own what to think about it...

and i bet if anyone else had posted that pic...like me, jssy, you, whoever...it wouldnt have been mentioned...

[jssy4eva]

Like I said, I get what you're saying and I agree to a point, but I think it's more complicated than that. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are plenty of members who like skinny models; I myself have 3 or 4 in my signature that have been mentioned here numerous times because of their thinness. For the most part though, my opinion (and I'm assuming most people's) on them has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with simply liking how they look and appreciating their talent as a model.

I do apologize though if it seems like I was attacking your post, cause that the last thing that I would want to do. I can just see where seanutbutter was coming from. This kind of stuff has been happening for as long as I can remember in this thread and I think that seanut was simply saying something that alot of people would have as well.

you dont have to explain yourself or your model choices to me...i for my part have no problem with different opinions...
you can also post as many pics of them as you like...because if i dont like seeing them, i can simply ignore them...

[carmen_kass]

You're so right fairy, I've yet to see Superfashion act cruel, arguementative or rude in any of his posts, even after people run down his Vlada-centric posts, he doesn't retaliate. Good for you Superfashon, you have a wonderfuly upbeat attitude.

[superFashion]

So many thanks. specially to fairy

Its wonderful to feel a bit of understanding. If we all would try not to pick on each other and to accept different oppinions, we would jut act according to the rules of tFS.

I understand that my fascination of Vlada may be a bit boring to others. Anyway i decided to post pics of and comments about her in this thread in the future too.

Besides her very angelic face, her fascinating art of posing, her unique beautiful walk,... i like her bodytype so much:

She is the only model i know, who is extremely thin but not bony or emaciated. As you can see in this recent pic:


Max Azria SS08 backstage, firstview

Her arms are still a bit like sticks, but she has such a sexy butt and tummy,.. her boobs are small but she is by no means flat-chested.

Im glad, she is a very little bit more on the curvy side, than in her extremely thin SS06 season.

But even if she looks as thin or even thinner as in summer 06 shows,

Rochas, SS06 ------------------------------------------ Chapurin SS08, firstview, found at supermodels.nl
she is an epitome of beauty to me.

Don't want to start another Vlada-discussion, just tell you my personal sight of Vlada, who is - a designers dream - for me and her fans.

[ms-nietzsche]

I almost feel sorry for Vlada. If I were her and looked through her thread, I would be scared to gain any weight for fear of losing such dedicated fans.

It's my opinion that skinny bodies (the likes of Vlada, etc.) look better in pictures than they do in real life (although I have never seen a hf model in person). Like, some of the individuals with the best looking bodies in real life, to me, don't look so nice in photos.

I completely agree. Girls that I think have great bodies IRL look big in pics and vise vera.
